Mac Formula 1 Widget

The desktop countdown is back — now native on macOS

The widget that lived on your desktop through Dashboard and the Windows Sidebar is a real Mac app again. One Widget Countdown puts the world's most popular Formula 1 countdown straight on your desktop or in Notification Center, in three sizes, counting down to the second to every session of the race weekend. Keep the full countdown open in its own window while you work, pick any race in the season, and switch language and time format from the menu bar.

One app, every screen you own. The same race calendar drives One Widget Countdown on Mac, iPhone and iPad, Android, and the embeddable widget for your own website or blog.

Instructions 1. Download One Widget Countdown for Mac: Universal, 4 MB — requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Signed and notarized by Apple. 2. Open the downloaded disk image and drag One Widget Countdown into your Applications folder. Launch it once so macOS registers the widget. 3. To add the widget: right-click an empty area of your desktop, choose Edit Widgets, search for One Widget, and drag the size you want onto the desktop.

The Mac app is the ninth platform this countdown has run on — here is how it started.

Still running an older desktop platform? The original Dashboard, Windows Gadgets, Yahoo! Widgets and Google Desktop versions remain available for download.
