Productivity without the noise.

Tide is a small, purpose-built menu bar timer. No accounts, no projects, no dashboards — just a clean window, smart input, and enough options to match how you actually work.

Native by design

Lives in your menu bar, follows macOS conventions, respects light and dark mode, and uses negligible system resources. It feels like a built-in tool.

⚡️

Flexible by default

Use simple one-off timers or structured Pomodoro cycles. Type the time, pick a mode, and start — no extra setup.

Crafted details

Subtle animations, sane defaults, and a layout that doesn’t fight for your attention. It’s a basic timer, but one that’s been carefully thought through.

Regular timers & Pomodoro,
in one place.

Run a simple “15 minutes” timer or a classic 25/5 Pomodoro cycle from the same menu bar window. Switch modes with a single click instead of juggling different apps.

Natural-language quick-add.

Speed is the point. Type “15m”, “25 minutes”, or “2:30 pm” and Tide turns it into the right timer automatically — no sliders, no arrow buttons, no fiddling.

Presets

Save your favorite durations and start them with a single click. Perfect for your go-to focus blocks or breaks.

Auto-Repeat

Loop your focus blocks automatically when you want longer stretches of work. The menu bar time updates continuously so you always know where you are.

Polite Sounds

Subtle, high-quality alert sounds that keep you on track without jolting you out of what you’re doing. Plays nicely with macOS Focus / Do Not Disturb.

Designed for how you actually work.

For Deep Work

Set a 90-minute block, optionally with auto-repeat. Start it from the menu bar and stop thinking about the clock.

For Meetings

Start a 30-minute timer at the beginning of a call so it doesn’t run over. A quick glance at the menu bar tells you how much time is left.

For Indie Builders

Alternate between longer build sessions and shorter review passes — for example, 50 minutes of work followed by a 10–15 minute reset.

For Pomodoro Fans

Run classic 25/5 cycles with a clean, native interface instead of a noisy web page.
