Sometimes you just gotta wait for something to happen. You keep waiting and waiting. And finally you realize that you are too late. The bus left, the concert started, or your cake is now a burnt, inedible biscuit. With Countdown, you'll never have to eat a crunchy cake again! Countdown is a simple, efficient timer that puts the countdown in a very accessible place: in your status bar.

Easy to use: Countdown is a one-trick pony, but it does it well. All it does is keep track of the time and alert you when the timer reaches zero. You can enter an end-date into the topmost field (examples: "3 pm", "12:01 am tomorrow") or enter how many hours, minutes, and seconds you need in the bottom fields. After you've done the simple setup, simply hit the "Start Countdown" button. Countdown updates a status bar item as it counts down. When it reaches zero, it shows a message and plays a sound to alert you. It's as simple as it is handy.

Growl aware: Growl provides applications with a notification system that makes it easy to send feedback to the user. It also makes it look good. Countdown makes use of Growl by providing an option to display the countdown message in a Growl notification.
