Dabel Auto Timer

Dabel Auto Timer is a small-sized tool that gives you the possibility to schedule your computer to shut down, restart, log off, stand by and hibernate at a specified time. It doesn't contain complicated options or customization properties, making it accessible to all types of users.

The entire program's packed in just one executable file that you can copy to a preferred directory on the disk or save to a removable storage unit to be able to launch it on any computer with little effort.

It doesn't update the system registry with new entries or create files on the disk without asking for permission. Your settings are remembered on exit. However, you must have .NET Framework installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform.

As far as the interface is concerned, Dabel Auto Timer adopts a large window with a clear-cut structure, giving you an overview of all settings available.

You can get started by selecting the power mode between shut down, restart, log off, stand by and hibernate. In the following step, it's possible to set the exact time to execute the command at, by establishing the hour, minute and AM or PM.

Once the task is recorded, you can find out the shutdown mode and time in the "pending task" panel. Worth noting is that multiple jobs cannot be scheduled, so any new task will replace the old one.

By default, the application automatically runs at every system startup, but you can disable this option, as well as send it to the system tray area on minimization.

It didn't put a strain on the machine's performance in our tests, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. We haven't experienced any stability issues in our tests, as it didn't hang, crash or prompt errors.

To wrap it up, Dabel Auto Timer delivers a simple solution for scheduling a power option for the computer. However, it doesn't support countdown mode.
