Sleep Timer

If you’ve ever needed to close the computer when you weren’t home or had gone to sleep, then you certainly noticed the need for a specialized app. Sleep Timer is a small widget that can help you fire up various actions while being away from the computer.

The app comes in WIDGET format and requires Yahoo! Widget Engine to work.

Sleep Timer was designed to help you set up a timer for the computer. Once the countdown is complete, the computer performs the task you set up. The program can log off your Windows account, restart your system, send the computer into sleep mode or shut it down completely.

The app is completely customizable, which means you can input whatever number of minutes before choosing an action.

Also, the app’s frame size can be altered to one of the three available options (small, medium or large). The window can always be displayed on top of other software frames. The widget can also ignore all mouse events or become immune to accidental dragging. The frame’s opacity levels are also adjustable.

The timer can be set off by accessing the right-click menu of the widget and choosing the “Start” command. However, canceling the process can be done straight from the app’s interface.

Sleep Timer is a nice widget that can come in handy quite often. The program is easy to use, so inexperienced individuals should have no problems figuring out how to work with it.
