Many thanks to Alarms for sponsoring the world’s best RSS Feed this week. Alarms is a timer and to-do app that sits in your Menu Bar. Click and drag on it to set an instant timer for, say, 30 minutes of intentional writing, or to reminder yourself in 4 minutes that the French Press is ready. Moreover, you can drag files, emails, URLs, and other items onto the menu bar icon and save those items as to-dos. A calendar slides down and lets you schedule a concrete time to hash out a that action item. You can try out Alarms for free for two weeks.
