Show HN: CuckooTimer – Cuckoo Clock Productivity Timer

Hey HN,

I made this tool to help me be mindful of time while at my computer. Plus, I always wanted a cuckoo clock and this app gives a similar feel.

I tried using traditional productivity timers like Pomodoro timers, but I was never consistent with starting them or restarting them after breaks.

CuckooTimer is macOS menu bar app that gives you a gentle ping every hour (or whatever interval you choose) so you can be more aware of time passing.

It quickly fades onto the screen as a borderless 3D cuckoo clock, a cute cuckoo bird animates out, makes a real bird call, then fades away.

I use it as a reminder to take a break or recenter myself on what I'm doing.

There are a number of ways you can use it and configuration options, like adjusting how often and what times of day it runs.

I've found it really helpful in managing my time. Check it out here!
