Tea Timer

The smell of freshly brewed coffee or the warm taste of your favorite tea, make you feel much better and bring a relaxing atmosphere. However, most of us spend a large amount of time on the Internet, and we tend to forget about the food in the oven or the bowling water, which may lead to major fires.

As a solution to these problems, beside the physical tools destined for such chores, are their digital versions, the timers. Most apps come with a basic or more complex timer, and additional elements to make your life easier. Tea Timer is a comprehensive and fun program designed to be a simple reminder that alerts you when the food, tea or coffee are ready.

In order to function, .NET Framework needs to be installed on the computer. The offered interface is outdated yet accessible divided into five distinct tabs, each with specific functions. When the app is launched, it's sent automatically to the systray, where you can easily make it visible, or directly access the options.

The first tab is the timer, where you have to enter the name, required time, in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a particular sound, icon, and if you wish to run a program when completed. The utility provides a few presets for boiling water, brewing coffee, green tea, or Earl Grey. Clicking on them starts the clock.

If you have an important event or assignment, and you don't want to forget about it, you can use Tea Timer as an alarm, by inputting the desired title, date/time, and sound. If you're not happy with the default ringtones, you can add custom ones from the computer.

A nice addition is the timer list, where you are able to view all the running clocks, as well as stop and pause them, at any given time. The app lets you edit the presets to best fit your tastes, by replacing their icons and tones. Other worth mentioning options you can manage are the audible and visual alerts, along with running commands, and general properties.

Taking everything into account, Tea Timer is a reliable and useful program created to offer a simple method to start and manage timers for various household or office activities and set them up based on your needs.
