Sleep Timer Clock

If you are regularly running lengthy activities on your computer, but still wish you could shut it down while you’re not present, then you need a specialized app. The Sleep Timer Clock is a program that can help you with issues like this.

The software comes with a simple interface: a single window that displays the clock, date and remaining time until your task is complete.

The Sleep Timer Clock acts like a time widget and sits on your desktop. You can move the clock anywhere on your screen by simply dragging it around. The software is synchronized with your computer clock, so the time is always accurately displayed.

In order to schedule any of the supported tasks, you must access the “Settings” page of the app. Here you can enable the timer and choose the amount of time until it triggers the desired action. You can set the countdown timer to up to 12 hours.

You can choose to shut down your computer, restart your system, lock your desktop, send it to hibernation or standby.

The Sleep Timer Clock acts like a simple time widget while there are no active tasks. The interface is small enough that it shouldn’t bother you visually, but big enough that you can actually read the time if you need to.

The software works well and anyone should be able to use it thanks to the simple interface. The overall simplicity of this program is one of its biggest advantages.

However, if you’re not a fan of loud audio alarms, this app won’t be at the top of your favorite list. With a few seconds to spare, the app lets you know that the timer is running out very loudly. Since there is no way to mute the software, you’ll have to find ways around the alarms by turning off your speakers.
