MyTimer

MyTimer is a small software application developed specifically for helping you work with a countdown timer in order to find out how much time you invest into different activities. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

The tool is portable, and you may opt for keeping it stored on pen drives or other portable devices so you can have it with you all the time. Plus, you may run it without having to be an administrator. You may open it straight from the storage device.

Since no entries are created in your Windows registry, you may uninstall it by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet. The program creates an additional configuration file (DAT file format) which is saved to the same location where the executable file is stored. It’s easy to gain access to the GUI because you do not have to go through an installation process. A double-click on the EXE file is sufficient.

MyTimer gives you the possibility to make use of its timing capabilities only via the command-line panel. You do not special skills in order to set up the dedicated parameters because they look easy to work with. A help manual is not included in the package. However, you can quickly make the most out of the tool’s features because it shows useful hints in the CMD environment and offers support for a step-by-step approach.

The countdown timer can be configured by specifying the number of minutes. What’s more, you can make the application show a user-defined text message when the time is up. A preset beep notification is also played.

Tests have pointed out that MyTimer carries out a task quickly and without errors. However, it is not quite friendly with system resources so the overall performance of the computer may be affected.

To sum things up, MyTimer provides nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you time different tasks. There’s no support for advanced parameters so you cannot import custom audio files (e.g. MP3, WAV, OGG) and run a custom program, just to name a few options.
