Apimac Timer 26 launches: designed for the new macOS 26 Tahoe

Apimac Timer 26 has just been released, completely redesigned for the new operating system used by Mac users: macOS 26 Tahoe. This new version deeply renews one of the most recognized and long-standing apps in the Mac ecosystem, while preserving what has always set it apart: precision, clarity, and reliability.

From the early days to modern Macs
Timer was born in the 1990s on the first Macs running System 7, when software was distributed on CD-ROMs bundled with magazines or through early web portals such as Tucows and VersionTracker. Even then, it offered three tools in one: stopwatch, countdown, and programmable alarm — with an interface designed for professionals, students, and researchers who needed accurate time measurement.

With the arrival of Mac OS X, the app was rewritten in Cocoa and updated through every generation of macOS.
Today, with version 26, it takes a decisive technical step forward: a fully modern Swift codebase, native Apple Silicon support, and a design aligned with macOS 26 Tahoe — smoother and more integrated than ever.

Three tools, one essential logic
Timer 26 combines three main functions in a single window:
• Stopwatch – measure work sessions or tests with precision.
• Countdown – structure activities, experiments, or presentations.
• Alarm – remind you of events or trigger automated actions.
Each timer can perform end-of-time actions such as opening a document, playing a sound, showing a message, launching an app, or even sending HTTP requests. The full-screen mode makes it ideal for classrooms, studios, conferences, or shared sessions.

How Mac users around the world use Timer today:
• Labs and Research – for timing experimental phases with second-level accuracy.
• Education – to display time during exercises or exams.
• Creative Work – to manage focus cycles and breaks naturally.
• Everyday Life – to remember moments, deadlines, or simply to give rhythm to the day.
In every case, Timer stays true to its philosophy: doing what matters, without distraction.

A tradition of continuity
From System 7 to macOS Tahoe, Timer has evolved alongside the Mac while keeping its identity intact.
With version 26, this long line of development reaches a new balance between modern technology and functional simplicity, reaffirming Timer as one of the most enduring and appreciated utilities in the Mac environment.

“Timer doesn’t change the way you measure time — it makes it more precise, natural, and reliable.”
