I'm looking for a simple countdown timer application, something similar to timer-applet, which appears to be deprecated. (It's in the repositories but when I tried to install it there were dependency issues with gnome-audio and it hosed my system.)
My ideal app would have the following features:
- is lightweight and fast (starts up fast and doesn't use a lot of system resources)
- has functionality for user-defined presets for commonly used times (like for using the 10+2 work method)
- plays a sound and displays a notification when the time set is reached.
- is a native GNOME app & not a webapp
- is an indicator applet
Note: I am looking for a countdown timer app, not a timetracking app.

alarm-clock-appletmight be what you are looking for, you can save pre-sets for either alarms (specific time) or countdown timers. Two advantages over timer-applet is that several timers can run at the same time, and you can set a custom snooze time. It's in the Software Center.
