Chronometask

Portable Chronometask is software tool that was designed specifically to aid people in launching a program or a web page, or perform other operations when a countdown timer reaches zero.

This program is portable, which means that the installation process is not a necessity. As a result, it will not add new entries to the Windows registry and hard drive, without your permission (as installers usually do), and it will leave no traces behind after its removal.

It is also important to keep in mind that if you move the program files to an external data drive such as a USB stick, you make it possible to run Portable Chronometask on the fly, on any POC you have access to, by simply clicking the executable.

The main window enables you to view the current date and hour, in your time zone, as well as the countdown time and action to be performed. This software utility enables you to perform quite a large number of actions when the clocks strikes, such as playing a built-in sound or one from your hard drive, in a WAV file, display a user-input message and execute a program. In addition to that it is also possible to log off, shutdown or restart the computer and launch a specified URL.

You should know you can perform several of the aforementioned operations in the same time, and loop the timer, so as to repeat actions on a regular basis. Playing, pausing and stopping the countdown is also possible with the help of the playback controls in the main window, while you can also start a stopwatch.

To wrap it up, Portable Chronometask is a small, yet efficient piece of software that can act as a reminder, a countdown timer or a stopwatch. It encloses a friendly interface, a good response time and quite a large number of options to keep you busy for a while. The computer’s performance is not going to be hindered and our tests did not reveal any kind of errors or crashes.
