All apps
I opened an app on my Mac but no window appeared. Where is it?
The Mac apps start in your menu bar, at the top right of the screen near the clock, and do not show a regular window or a Dock icon when they launch.
Look for the app’s item in the menu bar. If you cannot find it, see the next answer.
Do the apps collect my data?
No. TinyStopwatch, TinyNotepad and TinyCelsius do not collect personal data for Dion Software. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking in the apps.
TinyCelsius uses Apple Weather through WeatherKit and can use your current location when you grant permission. TinyNotepad can sync your notes through your own iCloud when you turn that on. Dion Software does not receive or store your location or your notes.
The only personal data we receive is what you send through the contact form.
Do I need a subscription for any of the apps?
All three apps are free to download, and none of them needs a subscription to be useful.
TinyCelsius is completely free. TinyStopwatch Pro is a one-time purchase. TinyNotepad is free with up to three notes; TinyNotepad Plus, at $4.99 a year, adds iCloud sync, unlimited notes and the Paper look.
How can I launch the apps automatically at login?
Open the app’s settings and turn on the option to open at login. If macOS asks for permission, confirm it in System Settings.
My keyboard shortcut does not work. What should I do?
Another app is often using the same shortcut. Pick a less common key combination and test again.
Different keyboard layouts can also get in the way. Clearing the shortcut and recording it again usually fixes that.
Can I become a beta tester for upcoming releases?
We occasionally run beta releases on TestFlight before a public release. If you would like to join, send us a message through the contact page.
How do I contact support?
Use the contact form on this website or email hello@tinymacapps.com. It helps to mention the app, your macOS or iOS version and what happened.
Is TinyStopwatch free?
Yes. The stopwatch, countdown timers, labels, history and CSV export are free.
TinyStopwatch Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription. It adds multiple stopwatches, global keyboard shortcuts and pausing when your Mac sleeps.
Is TinyStopwatch available on Setapp?
Yes, as a standalone app on the Setapp Marketplace. It is sold on its own there, from $4.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, and is not part of the Setapp membership.
The Setapp version has every Pro feature built in, so there is nothing more to buy.
Can I export the time I tracked?
Yes. The History window exports all of your sessions, or only the ones you select, as a CSV file, with durations in seconds or as formatted time.
Which versions of macOS does TinyStopwatch support?
TinyStopwatch needs macOS 15.6 or later.
Is TinyNotepad free?
Yes, with up to three notes. TinyNotepad Plus is $4.99 a year and adds iCloud sync between your Macs, unlimited notes and the Paper look.
I bought TinyNotepad before version 2.0. Do I have to pay again?
No. Unlimited notes and the Paper look are already yours. iCloud sync is part of TinyNotepad Plus.
Your notes from the earlier version are imported the first time you open 2.0.
Where are my notes stored?
On your Mac. When you turn on iCloud sync, they are also kept in your own iCloud so your other Macs can show them. There is no account with us and no tracking.
To keep a note off iCloud, right-click its tab and choose Keep on This Mac Only.
Does TinyNotepad support Markdown?
Yes. Bold, italic, strikethrough, code and headings are styled while you write. The marks stay in the note, so your notes remain plain text that pastes cleanly anywhere.
Which versions of macOS does TinyNotepad support?
TinyNotepad 2.0 needs macOS 15 or later.
Is TinyCelsius free?
Yes. TinyCelsius is free, with no in-app purchases, no ads and no account.
Does TinyCelsius need my current location?
No. You can allow current-location access for automatic local weather, or choose a city instead.
TinyCelsius uses Apple Weather through WeatherKit. Dion Software does not receive or store your location.
How do I add a TinyCelsius widget?
On iPhone and iPad, add it from the widget gallery like any other widget. On Mac, right-click the desktop and choose Edit Widgets.
To pick the place and style a widget shows, touch and hold it (on Mac, right-click it) and choose Edit Widget.
Which devices does TinyCelsius run on?
Mac with macOS 26 or later, and iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.
