GTD utility, FlexTime 1.0, released

Red Sweater Software announced today the availability of FlexTime 1.0, a timer utility for repetitive activities. FlexTime’s intuitive interface focuses on the metaphor of a “routine” made up of any number of timed activities and associated “cues.” A routine’s activities may be configured by the user with any of these built-in actions:

  • Play an arbitrary system sound file.

  • Show a text message in an attractive on-screen display.
  • Speak text using the standard Mac OS X speech synthesizer.
  • Run a script, open or active an application.

The flexibility of these cue types allows users to present reminders, open web sites, activate applications – or just about anything else – all on a precision timed basis.

FlexTime costs just USD$18.95 and is available as a full-featured 30 day trial download.
