Countdown Timer

Countdown Timer is a small Windows application designed specifically for helping you time your activities with the aid of a countdown timer.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to time your activities on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

This is a Java-based utility, so you should make sure your have previously installed the working environment on your computer; otherwise you cannot run the tool.

Countdown Timer embeds several dedicated parameters for helping you display custom text messages at the end of the countdown timer, set up the timer by specifying the time in minutes and seconds, display the current time, start counting up when the time is up, and alter the number and text font in terms of font and color.

What’s more, you can make the app display a random color, change the background color, reveal a user-defined image (GIF, JPG), as well as play sound notifications (WAV file format).

The lack of configurable settings can be good news for less experienced users, as they can learn to tweak the dedicated parameters in no time. Tests have shown that Countdown Timer carries out a task quickly. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

To sum things up, Countdown Timer proves to be a simplistic piece of software that comes bundled with several features for helping you work with a countdown timer.
