Shutdown Timer

You may have sometimes wished you had a way of turning off your PC at a specified time, even when you are not around, whenever a certain job needed to be completed or a large file had not yet finished downloading.

Shutdown Timer is a straightforward application that provides you with a solution, as it makes it possible to schedule this operation, as well as reboot your PC, send it in hibernation mode or log out of the current user account at a specific time.

The application supports a total of three scheduling modes. It can perform the selected action at a specific time and date, after a certain amount of time has passed or when a particular process is terminated.

However, it would have been great if the application was also capable of shutting down your PC when CPU usage or network activity fell below a certain threshold.

Shutdown Timer is remarkably easy to configure, and it even provides you with helpful instructions. While the available functions are fairly self-explanatory, less experienced users will certainly appreciate the included explanations.

Once an action has been scheduled, the program is sent to the system tray automatically. Of course, you can still cancel the operation at any time, but the application does not get in your way.

As far as resource usage goes, there is no need to worry about Shutdown Timer using up your free memory, as its impact is almost negligible.

Thanks to the application’s small file size, and the fact that it does not need to be installed before use, it is very easy to deploy. You can even store it on a USB drive or other such devices and use it to schedule shutdown operations on multiple computers.

On the whole, Shutdown Timer is a well-designed application that offers pretty much everything you could expect from such a utility. A couple of extra functions would certainly be welcome, but this is a great tool that can be recommended to any user that wishes to schedule shutdown operations.
