A simple Mac Meditation application

Today I'm releasing Version 1.0 of a very simple, free Mac OS X application named "Meditation".

This Mac Meditation application is really just a very simple timer that plays a "gong" sound at the end of the time period you specify. (So, if you want a Mac OS X timer application for some other reason, Meditation may fit your needs.)

Mac Meditation information

This application is written in Java, but I've turned it into a Mac application, as described in this "Make your Java app look like a Mac OS X app" tutorial.

As a consumer, if you have Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") or newer, this should work fine. I don't have older versions of Mac OS X (like "Tiger"), so I don't know if it will work on those systems or not.

Here's what the Meditation application looks like when it's running:

Again, it's very simple. Just enter the desired number of minutes to meditate, and the "gong" sound will play twice at the end of that time period.
