Simple Timer Pro

Simple Timer Pro is a desktop application that gives you the possibility co configure a simple countdown timer in hours and minutes. It changes the clock color and beeps when time's up to grab your attention.

The tool was made to help you with your typical, timed activities, whether you want to study and need to take a break, schedule the break time, cook, work on an important project, work out, or anything else. It was specially designed for desktops, laptops, notebooks and tablets running Windows 10, 8.1 and 10, and it can be downloaded from the Windows Store to blend it with your Start Screen or Menu.

Simple Timer Pro displays a large, bright yellow background at startup, where you can click two menus to specify the number of minutes and seconds (ranging from 0 to 60) to start counting down from. The timer begins as soon as you click the button, and you can view remaining time on the screen.

As soon as time's up, the application makes a repetitive beeping sound and turns the initially white clock into blue. Unfortunately, it doesn't integrate buttons for pausing or stopping the timer. It gets reset when pressing the start button again.

There are no other features implemented by the developer, which makes Simple Timer Pro pretty poor in terms of features. Thanks to the built-in Windows features, which are applicable to all Metro apps, you can take a screenshot of the clock and share it with your friends using Twitter, OneNote or another program you have installed.

All things considered, Simple Timer Pro doesn't provide you with comprehensive options and configuration properties, but it offers a simple and practical solution for quickly setting up a countdown timer for daily tasks.
