Widget Watch: Minutes 2.0.1

You may remember us talking about Minutes back when it was first released in April 2007. A lot has changed since then to make Minutes even better than what we first thought. If you're looking for a great dashboard widget timer that is just as Aqua-licious as the built-in timer for iPhone, then look no further than Minutes.

Since we first looked at Minutes, Nitram+Nunca has added:

Removed Growl support in favor of their own unique system
Changed beep for unique sounds
Volume fading
Plus many bug fixes

All in all, this is one of the nicest widget designs that I've seen in a while. When your timer is up, you get a small, nicely designed pop up dialog that you can click to stop the timer. You can download Minutes from the Nitram+Nunca website for free.

The best widgets, in my view, do one simple thing and do it well. That description would fit Minutes, a great little countdown timer widget. With Minutes you just grab the little blue triangle and spin it around to choose your interval (in whole minutes). When it reaches zero it gives you a Growl notification reading "The time has come" and can also do one of the following:

Put the computer to sleep
Beep
Stop iTunes
Start iTunes playing a playlist
open a file
repeat the countdown

Simple, but effective; I like it, especially since you can open multiple copies. Now if only they'd allow you choose intervals other than whole minutes and edit the Growl notification text, it would be perfect. If the Dashboard is not your thing, we also had a post on setting short interval timers using Quicksilver a while back that of course could do all of this and more.

Minutes is a free download from Nitram+Nunca.
