Key takeaways

  • Free macOS menu-bar timer with a dot-matrix display
  • Supports Pomodoro, custom intervals, and multiple timer modes
  • Syncs with macOS Focus modes and Do Not Disturb
  • No subscription -- optional Pro upgrade at $4.99

We built RetroDot Timer because every timer app we tried was either too cluttered or too plain.

RetroDot is different. It's a dot-matrix display that sits in your menu bar — precise, beautiful, and out of your way until you need it.
