Description

Are you tired of falling asleep while watching your favorite movie or TV series on your Mac, only to be awakened by the sound and light throughout the night? Do you wish that your state-of-the-art Mac could perform a simple trick like timed off-function just like every TV since the late eighties? If yes, then Hypnotize for Mac OS X is here to solve all your problems.

Hypnotize for Mac OS X is a collection of timers that can be added to your Dock for easy access. With Hypnotize, you can set a timer telling the movie to shut up and your Mac to shut down when time is up. This software is designed specifically for those who love watching movies or TV series on their Mac but often fall asleep during it.

The installation process of Hypnotize is straightforward. Simply add the Hypnotize folder as a stack to the Dock, and whenever needed, fan out the stack and run the timer with an interval of choice. Once time has run out, your computer will automatically shut down. If you find that the movie was interesting and want to continue watching it later, press 'Reset Timer,' and the countdown starts all over again.

One of the best things about Hypnotize is its safety features. It only force quits Safari and halts shutdown if any other applications with unsaved documents are running. This way, Hypnotize ensures that you don't lose any unsaved data during shutdown.

With its easy-to-use interface and safety features ensuring no loss of data during shutdowns,Hypnotizewill make sure that users never miss out on important scenes again!

Review

Hypnotize for Mac provides a set of four basic preset shutdown timers for your computer. They're easy to set and can be canceled at any time with the click of a button. While functional, the program lacks any customization options directly in the app, which slightly limits its utility.

Instead of a full-blown interface, Hypnotize for Mac presents a sleek, graphics-driven menu showing four clock icons set at 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Once you choose a timer, a window opens with two buttons, one for restarting the timer, and the other for canceling. The window also displays the amount of time remaining in whole minutes. In our tests, each timer effectively shut down our computer at the right time. We would have appreciated the addition of a pop-up alert or other warning before shutdown, but as it is you'll have to keep your eye on the app's window to see how much time is left on the timer. If you find you do need to keep going, the timers can be restarted or canceled easily by clicking a button. While there's nothing technically wrong with Hypnotize for Mac, less-experienced users won't get as much from this tool. There are no options or settings on hand to change the preset times or add new timers. The publisher notes you can change the preset times in the Script Editor, but if you're a new user and don't know what that means, you're stuck with only four options.

Hypnotize for Mac gives you quick access to shutdown timers with a minimum of clicks. It looks good and performs well. If you're happy with the four options on offer, or don't mind doing some under-the-hood tinkering, this is a good way to make sure your computer doesn't stay up too much longer than you do.
