timer app (sh.itjust.works)

I am looking for a simple timer app to time video game events.

I am running xmonad/xmobar/trayer.

I like the idea of a timer i can run out of the system tray and/or float over in a small box over other windows.

I tried out kteatime and its pretty close to what i want but its pretty hard to see whats going on in the tiny system panel.

Any suggestions welcome! Maybe I should look at making a plugin for my xmobar?

i think something like this could work. i guess some neat features to add would be:

Did you want a timer, or a stopwatch? A countdown with "wall" at the end is also rather trivial.

notify-send $someText will get you a popup at least, for many DEs.
