Timer

Timer is a straightforward application that enables you to configure and run a timer on your desktop, as well as launch a stopwatch. It is fairly simple to use, and it can also shut down your computer, restart it or put it in hibernation mode.

The timer is very easy to configure, and it can be paused or canceled at any time. Depending on the amount of time there is left, the values are displayed using different colors, and you can enable or disable the "beeps" that are played every second or once every ten seconds.

You can also launch a stopwatch whenever you need to time a particular activity. Unfortunately, though, this utility is opened in a separate window, and it is not possible to close the timer without shutting down the stopwatch tool as well.

Once the timer reaches zero, the application can shut down your PC, initiate a reboot, disconnect your computer or put it in hibernation mode.

Timer is a good choice for users who frequently leave their machines running for extended periods and wish to turn them off after a specified amount of time.

Timer offers a decent, if not particularly impressive array of features. Nevertheless, it does its job without complicating matters unnecessarily.

However, the application cannot be sent to the system tray, so it may get in your way if you are performing other activities while running a timer or stopwatch.

Also, you need to keep two windows open at all times when using the stopwatch function, which is not quite ideal.

Overall, Timer is a simple utility that can be used to time various activities, as well shut down, restart, disconnect or put your PC in hibernation mode. It is easy enough to use, and it features a minimalistic interface, but it still needs to be improved in certain respects.
