A 5-minute candlestick countdown timer for stock traders, built for macOS.
This app provides a simple, clean interface to help traders track 5-minute intervals, synchronized with real-world market time.
- Automatic 5-Minute Countdown: Automatically syncs to the 5-minute intervals of the clock (e.g., xx:00, xx:05, xx:10). When launched, it calculates the remaining time in the current interval.
- Market Hours Awareness: The timer automatically runs only during US stock market hours (Mon-Fri, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
- Sound Alerts: Get an audible notification in the final seconds before a 5-minute interval ends.
- The pre-notification time is adjustable (default: 10 seconds).
- Sound alerts can be muted/unmuted anytime without stopping the timer.
