Cuppa

Cuppa is a small application for Mac OS X to time your cup of tea as it steeps. Tired of leaving your tea too long, to become bitter and cold, or drinking it too soon and not appreciating its full potential? Then this utility is for you!

Use it from the Dock: just right-click or command-click on the teacup icon and select the beverage you are brewing. You'll see a teabag appear in the cup and gradually darken as the tea steeps. When the tea is done the teacup will optionally bounce, make a sound, and/or show an alert box.

New in Version 1.3.0! Cuppa's dock icon now includes a countdown timer. This can be enabled in the Preferences window.

Customizing Your Brew

Tea is a personal thing, but Cuppa can be customized to your heart's content. Just select Preferences... from the dock menu. Change any existing tea by double-clicking on the name or the time and just typing in a new value. You can also remove beverages entirely, or add new ones.
