PowerOff Timer

There are moments when you want to watch a movie or a series until the lights go off. However, some people prefer to power off their computer before sleep, so having to manually shut down can be annoying at times. Of course, you can always create a scheduled task, but they tend to get complicated and require constant attention. If you are looking for the simplest way to automatically shut down your computer, PowerOff Timer might be the tool for you.

PowerOff Timer comes with a simple interface that lets you choose the action and the time until execution. Also, after you set the timer, don't forget to click on Activate, as the computer won't power off otherwise.

The tool can be sent to the tray menu, and from there, you can check quickly check its activation status, by hovering the mouse over the icon.

Besides the Shutdown mode, the app provides two more functions: Hibernate and Restart. All three functions were tested, and it was noticed that each time the timer reaches zero, a one-minute prompt pops up and then the computer powers off, restarts, or enters sleep mode. You can use that one-minute window to cancel the process in case you'd set the app by mistake or changed your mind.

In conclusion, PowerOff Timer is a simple tool that can help you sleep a little better, by shutting down the computer for you. The overall operation requires little effort, as you just have to boot the app, set up the timer and activate it. From there you can send the app to the tray menu and enjoy the rest of your night, without having to leave the bed.
