A gif would autoplay as well though. That's the whole point. People can immediately see what happens. Less manual work for visitors.

or "Siri, remind me to pretend to work when my manager walks by" :P

It's just been really fun. I don't mind ObjC but Swift feels so modern and nicer to type. One problem might be that Swift is constantly changing and that means you need to update your code base whenever you want to use the latest Xcode. I don't mind though because that's also a great way to learn about the changes. Ask away if you have any specific questions.

Thank you very much for the nice compliment :)

The alternative was to use a gif which would have looked awful in comparison. The video is really small (1.6MB).

Sorry about that. Maybe once Apple open-sources Swift :)? I might be able to do something then.

Let me know if you still think so once you've tried out Gestimer. Someone's gotta use Apple's fancy vibrant API right? :P

You are not the first person to ask for this so I'm definitely considering it. It's a 1.0 release after all so if you have suggestions then please let me know :)

No, sorry. See this answer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9744176

No, you cannot use the keyboard. I made it like this because in my opinion it just feels a lot nicer to just drag & drop then be done with it.

I am sure there are a lot of other apps that will do what you need. For example Fantastical (http://flexibits.com/fantastical) or even apps like Alfred (http://www.alfredapp.com).

Sorry that it requires OS X 10.10. I do know that many people haven't upgraded for various reasons. The thing is I wrote the app with Swift and I won't be able to support Mavericks until I can submit the app with Swift 2.0 which lets me target a different OS version. If you want then you can subscribe at the bottom of the page and I'll remind you about Gestimer once OS X 10.11 is out.

Sorry about that. Do I need to make a command line version now :P?
