CdTimer

CdTimer is a small software application developed specifically for helping you work with a countdown timer to see how much time you need to complete all sorts of activities. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

The tool is delivered in a portable package that offers you the freedom to drop it on pen drives or other devices so you can carry it with you all the time. Plus, you may open it without administrative privileges on the target computer.

Since you do not have to follow the steps embedded in an installation process, you can gain access to the GUI by running the executable file. You may get rid of the program by deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet because it does not leave entries in your Windows registry.

You are welcomed by a clean and straightforward design that embeds all configuration parameters into a single window. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual, you can quickly get an idea about how to set up the dedicated options because they look easy to work with.

CdTimer offers you the possibility to set up the time with the aid of the built-in slider. As soon as you move the slide, the application automatically starts counting down. The tick displayed on the slide is automatically moved while counting down.

Other notable configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to count up, pause, resume, or stop the counting mode, set the number of minutes that can be configured via the slider, as well as play custom audio notifications by importing WAV files from your computer.

Tests have pointed out that CdTimer carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the system is not affected.

To sum things up, CdTimer has to offer nothing more than a simple feature package for helping you time your activities, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
