Tengu Timer

Your timer, on your Mac or PC

Time one of your tickets, a meeting or other work, switch, pause and stop, without opening Tengu. Tengu Timer runs the same timer as your browser: start it in one, stop it in the other.

Signing in

Install it, open it and choose Sign in. It opens Tengu in a window of its own (in your browser on a Mac whose Safari is older than 17.5), where you allow it, and from then on it shows and runs your timer. Settings › General lists every computer it is signed in on, with Sign out for each.

The timer comes with the Studio plan: see pricing.

What it does, and what it doesn't

  • It starts, switches, pauses and stops your timer, and shows how long it has been running.
  • It keeps your day: it ticks off and adds to-dos, saves notes and moves your tickets, and a quick bar opens over any app with one shortcut. It opens Tengu in a window of its own too.
  • It runs your timer and your day, and nothing else: no screenshots, no idle tracking, no recording.
  • It updates itself. A new version downloads in the background and installs only when you choose Restart to update. Your timer runs on Tengu’s server and carries on through the restart.
