Stop playing

An overlooked feature of the Timer

The Timer section of the Clock App has an extra feature of which you might not be aware. At the foot of the ‘When timer ends’ menu is an option called Stop Playing. Choose this option and whatever audio you’re playing on your Mac stops when the countdown timer reaches zero. It’s great for falling asleep to relaxing music or the radio, and having it turn off automatically after a certain amount of time. At the time of writing, the Stop Playing option doesn’t work on the Mac, though the option is there, so it will probably be fixed soon.
