Free Countdown Clock

Free Countdown Clock is a handy and reliable application designed to help you create scheduled jobs using a countdown clock, an alarm utility and a calendar.

It displays a clean and modern layout, with easy-to-use options concentrated on keeping meetings, phone calls, and emails organized. The program's window is small, which might bother some users, and can be minimized to the system tray, making it easier to access your alarms.

If you want to appoint a countdown or calendar task, you have to give it a relevant title, a short description, and a distinct time of the week.

It's necessary to mark the day you want it to run on from the built-in calendar (e.g. daily, only on a particular day), as well as to set the time. You can choose a particular sound alarm from the built-in ones or add a favorite one from your computer in WAV format.

The same process is applied for a daily alert, the difference being that you have to mark the specific day of the week for recurrent alarms. Otherwise, it can run every day. You can enable and disable the snooze as well as set its frequency to a value ranging from 1 to 10 minutes. Plus, you can check if a warning message appears when you want to delete events, or if it should run at computer startup.

Once you've added an event, the application displays the remaining time in a little window by the system tray, and it can be personalized by picking one the five available themes. This way, you're being kept up to date with upcoming tasks. Moreover, in our testing, the program ran without errors and didn't consume too many resources.

Taking everything into consideration, Free Countdown Clock is useful when you want to schedule important tasks such as meetings, birthdays, weddings and e-mails, using the countdown timer, alarm and the built-in calendar.
