Tickik

Tickik is an easy-to-use software application that gives you the possibility to use a stopwatch. It counts time until you tell it to stop. The tool is practical for those looking for a straightforward solution to time various tasks, such as running, swimming, working out, cooking or studying.

Installing this app doesn't take long. However, you should make sure to have .NET Framework installed on your PC or it won't work. It may be necessary to launch it using administrator rights.

When it comes to the interface, Tickik adopts a small window with a large timer in green, displaying the minutes and seconds. The milliseconds are shown just below the seconds, in blue font.

Once you press the "Start" button, the stopwatch tool begins to count time upwards. The "Start" button then turns into "Stop", which you can click whenever you want to pause and then reset time.

Unfortunately, Tickik doesn't come equipped with a button for resuming the timer after it was paused. It's not designed to register hours, which makes it troublesome to use when timing lengthy activities.

Although the software program hasn't received updates for a long time, we didn't have any compatibility issues on the newest Windows version in our tests. It had minimal impact on system performance, using a low amount of CPU and memory.

Taking into account its simplistic set of features, Tickik leaves much to be desired. It doesn't support audio alerts to notify when the passing of every second with a beep, and it cannot time multiple tasks at the same time (checkpoints). Nevertheless, it's simple and gets the job done, so you can test it for yourself.
