This timer software offers countdown, alarm clock, and stopwatch options along with a unique visual display of time. It allows setting multiple alarms with various customization and is ideal for educators.
If you're looking for a handy timer utility that comes packed with many cool features, look no further than this software. With this software, you can use it like an oven timer in countdown mode, an alarm clock, or a stopwatch.
One unique feature of this software is its visualization capability which shows time passage graphically using any of several high-quality, built-in images or any image on your computer. In countdown mode, the image is gradually wiped away or revealed in a radial, clock-like, sweep pattern in sync with the time as it passes. This is especially useful for kids who are still learning to comprehend the passage of time using digits or for anyone who prefers a visual representation of time. This feature can be quickly and easily toggled on or off at any time.
In addition, this software lets you use any of several built-in alarm sounds or any sound file on your computer. Countdown mode is great for teachers or parents to set a time limit for kids' tasks or activities, and there is even a customizable, scrolling marquee message that can pop up when the alarm sounds. You can enter any text for the message and even specify the text color.
If you need an alarm clock to wake you up at any time of day using any sound you choose as an alarm, this software has got you covered. There is also a configurable snooze feature that silences the alarm temporarily for a short amount of time that you specify so you can sleep a little longer.
For those who need to keep track of how much time they spend on a particular project if they are charging customers by the hour, stopwatch mode is great. It uses precision down to hundredths of a second. You can save preset time lengths and alarm clock times in countdown and alarm clock mode to re-enter them quickly and easily should you need to use the same times frequently.
Finally, several instances of the program can be run simultaneously to time several things at once. Each instance can be labeled in its title bar to uniquely identify what is being timed by each one. The program's digits can be enlarged to full-screen size if you need to see them from a great distance. Overall, this software is a great tool for anyone who needs to keep track of time with precision and convenience.
