   I'll see what I can do about the flicker; thanks. I'm not sure I can detect whether another app is non-natively full screened, I'm afraid. I'll give it a poke, but to be honest, working with full screen stuff is a bit difficulty on OS X. Th

   Thanks for the bug report; will fix in 1.1. You can change the overlay colour by clicking the blue rectangle next to the menu bar preview.

   Thanks for the suggestions. - Snooze is a very good idea - Eek. I will look into this. - I definitely want to play with snooze length a bit more. At the very least, I plan on making snooze interval be MIN(time_interval, 5 minutes) — that is

   No, there's no way to pause it right now. I will add this to the feature request list. Thank you!

    Fair enough. I've been trying to think of a good way to do present it — you really need to see the full screen to get how subtle and delightful the effect can be. I am still iterating; thanks for the vote towards a video.

    Yes sir, the full screen support was actually the longest part of my development! :) I ended up open sourcing a little bit of code from Timebar — code to detect when the user is switching to/from a full screen app. https://github.com/shiny

    Yes, definitely still under development and support! It supports Mountain Lion. Can you email me so we can troubleshoot it? m@rkchristian.ca First pass at support: do you have any other mouse-related software installed? Some Microsoft Intel

    Thank you! I'd love to hear how it ends up working out. Drop me a line sometime — m@rkchristian.ca or @shinypb.

    Thanks for the ideas. To run through 'em: * Timebar actually compensates for sleep, so if you set an 8 hour timer at 12 PM, it will finish at 8 PM even if your computer was asleep for some of the time in between. * Definitely going to re-la

    Sounds are a great idea. I'll have a noodle on how I can add that without cluttering things up too much. As for separate pre-defined timers, that's a pretty good idea, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that without making it quite a bit m

    Eek; it sounds like you've hit a bug. Can you email me some more details? m@rkchristian.ca. Sorry! Oh, yes — an audible alarm is a great idea. I'll explore that for the first update. I hope to start hacking on 1.1 with my lady tomorrow nigh

    For what it's worth, I really recommend Stripe. It took me about two hours to write my home-built store using it, and I plan on using it on a new project soon.

    As of August 21st, I've sold 5.9% of my copies through my independent store. This includes a few weeks at the beginning where the app wasn't available on the App Store at all. The App Store utterly dominates. However, I still think it's goo

    You're right; thanks for the correction. I was giving the figures from my faulty memory. :) My app is $4.99, so I net $4.55 from each copy sold independently, and $3.50 from each copy sold from Apple. That's a substantial bump.

    I wrote up my experiences on releasing outside of the App Store: http://writing.markchristian.org/2012/03/30/make-your-own-ap... I use Stripe for payment processing with a custom in-app UI for buying the app. Stripe has been great — they

    Right. Plus, the benefit of the impulse purchase is that you may gain a very vocal fan who never would've tried the app for $5.
