@amberv: I also use Path Finder instead of the Finder, including to show the Desktop. However, leaving the Finder open and hidden, isn't a big sacrifice: it only uses around 10MB of real memory (on 10.4).
But I agree that this requirement is hard to understand... :)
My favourite timer. Unfortunately, it requires Finder to function. I use Path Finder and leave the Finder closed all of the time. Minuteur launches Finder and ceases to function if you then quit Finder.
Fantastic design! I use it to time everything from laundry loads to how long it is before I have to get up in the morning. :)
The in-dock timer and side "progress" bar are great for helping you get an idea of how much time you have left.
I even got the PalmOS version so I can have Minuteur on the go.
Minuteur is an interesting utility, but it'd be quite a bit nicer if it were universal. It takes a good 4 seconds to load on my iMac, which is quite slow given the size and complexity of the app. It was just updated on July 27, but it's still not universal...
I tried it for a while, but never catch. The interface is very interesting and innovative but i never got used to it. Anyway, it's great to see people trying completely new things

For a quick reminder, you can also use Quicksilver. See macosxhints.
You can't currently manage your reminders with QS, though.

And yes, I donated a bit for this great app. :)
This app is now Universal. Great !
This is one of the most well designed simple utilities that I've come across.
Uses little resources and does the job well.
I love this app for it's simplicity and elegance. It's great.
