Bad Games Timer

Bad Games Timer is a small software application developed specifically for helping you find out how much time you invest in doing different activities with the aid of a stopwatch. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.

The tool boasts a clean and simple layout that hides only a few configuration settings under the hood. Decoding the dedicated parameters won’t take much of your time because they look easy to work with.

Bad Games Timer offers you the possibility to configure the stopwatch by specifying the time in hours, minutes, and seconds. The time values can be entered directly in the main window. Plus, the program is able to automatically save time values every 15 seconds in case you accidentally close the primary panel.

You are allowed to automatically start the timer upon opening the application, reset the information with a single click, start or pause the timer, lock the reset button to prevent changes from being made to the current time, as well as keep the timer on top of other windows.

Other important options worth being mentioned enable you to hide the window border, reset the time on start, change the background color of the GUI, check out the time in the taskbar, display tooltips, and automatically check for updates.

Tests have pointed out that Bad Games Timer is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers the overall performance of the computer. You can keep it running in the background.

To sum things up, Bad Games Timer comes bundled with basic features for helping you work with a stopwatch, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you cannot transform the stopwatch into a countdown timer with audio notifications.
