Cyber Time Manager

Cyber Time Manager is an application designed to help you keep track of the time someone spends a computer in a cyber cafe.

It uses a pretty basic system to do this. You name the terminal (computer) and click two buttons to start and stop the timer. The application does not connect to the computer in any way. For example, naming the terminal ‘Softpedia PC1’ and actually having that computer on the network makes no difference.

Whenever you click the ‘In’ button that starts the countdown, it’s not like you’re unlocking the computer so it can be used by someone. As a security precaution, you only get a ‘Status’ indicator which tells you whether a computer is idle or not.

To its advantage, Cyber Time Manager displays a user-friendly interface which makes it very easy to use. It’s structured as a table in which you can add names for the computers, and view the ‘in’, ‘current’ and ‘consumed’ time for each one.

You also get to set the number of computers, the name of the server and an hourly price, though the last one is only for you to know because it is not displayed anywhere in the interface of the application. Also, if you set the number of computer to 10, you still get a table of 15. A good thing though is that Cyber Time Manager can save the names of the computers that you insert.

In closing, Cyber Time Manager is an application that might soon become extinct since today, Internet Cafes are rare and slowly disappearing. Moreover, there are other applications that to the same thing but better.
