Piola — Menu Bar Pull Timer

Piola is the fastest way to set a timer on your Mac. Pull down from the menu bar, stretch to the time you want, and let go. Your timer starts instantly and counts down right in the menu bar.

No windows to open. No buttons to click. Just pull, release, and get back to what you were doing.

THREE WAYS TO START A TIMER

- Drag Mode – Stretch the handle down from the menu bar and release to start. The farther you pull, the longer the timer. - Dial Mode – Choose a duration with the dial and quick presets. - Input Mode – Type a duration or a time, and add an optional purpose like "Pizza ready!" or "Stand-up."

Pick the style that suits you in Settings and switch any time.

START A TIMER FROM ANYWHERE

Press the global shortcut (⌃⌥T by default) from any app to open Input Mode and start typing immediately. No mouse required.

KEEP TRACK AT A GLANCE

- See the countdown live in your menu bar - Run multiple timers at once - Click the menu bar to see every active timer, its purpose, and exactly when it ends - Optionally show the number of active timers next to the countdown - Choose colon format (1:03:00) or short format (1h 3m) for longer timers - Set timers up to 24 hours

ALERTS YOUR WAY

- Pick from a selection of alert sounds and preview them before choosing - Adjust alert volume - Get a pre-alert before a timer finishes, so you're never caught off guard - Works with macOS notifications, including persistent alerts that stay on screen until dismissed
