Download for macOS

Install in three small steps
Download the app
Grab the .dmg above. It is signed and notarized, so macOS greets it politely.
Drag it to Applications
Open the image and drag the timer into Applications — the classic macOS ritual.
Look up and to the right
A tiny timer appears in your menu bar. That's it — that's the whole app.
After that, it takes care of itself
- Updates arrive quietly in the background — no update buttons, no nagging.
- Sign in from the app to keep timers in sync with tickward on the web.
