Chrono.Net

Time may be an imaginary guideline we created, but actions are perfectly synced according to it, and clever management can enhance any domain of activity. In this regard, Chrono.Net was created to help you track tasks by simply starting a countdown timer, and saving important entries.

First of all, you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make the application work, and you can simply run it from a thumb drive on both your home, and work computers. Another advantage of portability is that the computer you use it on doesn’t get affected, since registries are not modified, but you do need to make sure .NET Framework is on the target PC.

A compact main window shows up on launch, with accommodation taking no longer than a couple of seconds. Four numerical value fields can be used to specify hour, minute, second, and millisecond in case you want to use a countdown timer, instead of counting up, which is the default configuration anyway.

You toggle the state of the process from a corresponding context menu, which can also be used to enable transparency, or force the main window to stay on top of every other window. Regardless of the count mode you choose, the clock continues to work until you hit the “Stop” button to reset all values.

There’s a rank sheet you can use with time values of interest. There are several fields for name, time, and entry number, which are simply added by hitting the “Save” button. For more accuracy, you can also pause the timer, with the possibility to continue after saving an entry.

A cool thing is that even if you set the counter to reach zero, it continues after time is up, specifying you exceeded the target time. Color differentiation makes it easy to tell this, and even saving an entry in the rank sheet keeps color formatting options. Sadly, there are no export options, not even for the rank sheet.

To sum it up, Chrono.Net is a practical countdown timer which can help you record different activities in time, and can also boost efficiency in task management operations by saving entries in the rank sheet. It’s portable so you can use it on the go, and intuitive enough to be understood in a couple of seconds even by inexperienced individuals.
