Software no longer runs in Mavericks

I love Minutes, and have relied on it many times, however after running the software since 2011, I am disheartened to see the developer has abandoned the software. After OS X 10.9 was released, I began to see behaviors where i would set the timer, switch over to full screen to work on a keynote document and the alarm would never go off. It turns out many “countdown” timer apps in Maverics have the same issue - they are not properly updating themselves in the background.

I have emailed the developer to point this issue out, but since I never heard back from them my only remaining step is to warn others not to use this on OS X 10.9.
