We’re here to help

Eggl is a small app made by one person, so there’s no ticketing system and no support queue — just a public issue tracker that gets read.

Something’s broken

Open a bug report. It helps enormously to include your macOS version, which Mac you’re on, and what you did just before it went wrong.

You want Eggl to do something

Feature requests are genuinely welcome, particularly the small ones. Describe what you’re trying to do rather than the feature you think you need — it usually leads somewhere better.

You just have a question

Have a look at whether someone has already asked. If not, open an issue and ask — questions are as useful as bug reports for working out which bits of Eggl aren’t obvious enough.

Before you write in

A couple of things answer most of what arrives, so they’re worth a quick look first.

  • The keyboard shortcuts. space brings the timer forward from any app, the number pad sets a duration, space starts and pauses, and esc resets.
  • The timer won’t appear when I press the shortcut. macOS asks for permission before an app can listen for a global shortcut. Check System Settings → Privacy & Security and make sure Eggl is allowed.
  • Privacy questions. Eggl collects nothing at all — the privacy policy spells out exactly what that means.

Enjoying Eggl?

Ratings on the Mac App Store are what help other people find a small app like this one. If Eggl has earned a minute of your time, leaving one is the single most useful thing you can do for it.
