Gestimer mac damage5/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As every beginner knows, coding is frustrating. This was back in 2012 when I had just begun learning to code. With this idea in my mind and a few sketches in my notebook, it was time for the execution. After a couple of months and failed attempts at such an app, the idea that later became Gestimer popped into my mind: “Wouldn’t it be great if I could just drag down from the menu bar to create a quick reminder?” This seemed so simple and fast. To me it just feels slow to enter numbers with a keyboard for inputing dates and times, especially without a num pad.Īs the type person who sits at my Mac most of the time, I decided to make a Mac app to work around this problem. It was too much of a hassle to set alerts for those tasks that have a short lifespan. Sometimes I had these little tasks like reminding me to make dinner (because I’d forget and be too busy or focused with other things) or that I had to leave for a lecture in half an hour. Not too long ago – while I was at university – I noticed that todo apps weren’t entirely fitting all my needs. I feel comfortable knowing that an app will take care of such thoughts as its memory is most likely better than mine. ![]() Other unrelated thoughts are too distracting when writing code. That’s especially true while coding where I have to be completely focused. If I had to cook dinner and then went back to my Mac to continue whatever I was working on, I’d probably forget about my dinner. Also, my short-term memory isn’t the greatest. I don’t like to keep too many thoughts in my head at the same time. ![]()
