Timebar

A timer that turns your whole menu bar into a precise progress bar. It slowly slides away as the time interval you have set is going. When the time is up it plays a sound. Time intervals you can set are ranging from one minute to eight hours. You can see a live countdown, showing exactly how much time is left by clicking on the menu bar icon.

Timebar stays out of your way while making sure you don't lose track of time. When you need it, it turns your entire menu bar into a subtle progress bar that slowly slides away.
When time's up, Timebar will let you know. Until then, stay focused on your stuff, not the timer.

Timer Boom

Timer Boom is a free multi-purpose timer utility. The app consists of a single window that lets you set a timer. When the countdown clock reaches zero, one of many actions can be carried out. The default action is an alert, which will play an alarm sound. There are two sounds available. The more interesting actions let you stop iTunes playback, resume iTunes playback, sleep your Mac, and shut down your Mac. All of these alerts can be configured on the main window, where you use the up and down buttons to set the hours, minutes and seconds that you want for your time. When you are ready, all you need to do is click on "Set timer" and the countdown will start. It should be noted that you can only run one type of timer at the time. From the Preferences window, you can enable a separate window that shows a caricature of a boy holding a bomb with your timer on it. You can also enable a voice countdown when the timer reaches ten seconds.

Howler

Howler is a very original timer and alarm clock for the Mac. It allows you to set any number of timers that can run concurrently. Each times is called a "Howler", but you can change the names to whatever you want. A more descriptive name comes in handy when you have multiple timers active at the same time. I guess having multiple timers when you cook is very useful, for example. When an alarm goes off, instead of hearing an alarm sound, you will hear wolves howling. By default, 10 seconds before an alarm goes off, you will also hear a sort of countdown with other animal sounds.
