Take regular breaks and be mindful of time with a 3D animated cuckoo clock. A minimal macOS menu bar app with a 3D cuckoo clock that appears at set time intervals.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I created a fun Cuckoo Clock themed productivity timer!
🐦 What is CuckooTimer?
CuckooTimer is a delightful macOS productivity companion that brings the charm of a traditional cuckoo clock to your desktop. An adorable 3D cuckoo bird emerges at your chosen intervals to help you stay aware of time's passage and take mindful breaks.
🎯 Key Features:
- Charming 3D Animations: Hand-crafted cuckoo bird with smooth animations and gentle sounds
- 3D Borderless Design: A unique minimal design to optimize desktop space
- Flexible Intervals: Choose 15, 30, or 60-minute reminders that match your workflow
- Smart Display Modes: Auto-hide for focus, Always Visible for company, or Hidden for sound-only
- Menu Bar Living: Quietly sits in your menu bar with no dock icon clutter
- Working Hours: Set specific times when your cuckoo should be active
💡 Why I Built This:
Everyone's had those "where did the day go?" moments. Traditional time trackers feel like surveillance, and harsh alarms interrupt flow. CuckooTimer bridges this gap with a friendly companion that makes time management delightful rather than stressful.
Plus I always wanted a cuckoo clock!
