Easy Timer

Easy Timer is a small software application developed specifically for helping you work with a countdown timer in order to view how much time you invest into different activities. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.
In order to run the utility correctly and avoid bumping into all sorts of errors, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on the target computer.

Minimalist design

As soon as you are done with a simple and quick installation process where you only need to press on a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to bring the task to an end, you are welcomed by an intuitive design that contains only a few configuration settings. All dedicated parameters are integrated into a single window.
Although a help manual is not included in the package, you can quickly get an idea about how to tweak the built-in options. The main window of the utility can be resized according to your preferences, and you can move it to the desired desktop position.

Configure a countdown timer

Easy Timer offers you the possibility to set up a countdown timer by specifying the time in hours, minutes, and seconds. What’s more, you are allowed to pause or resume the timer, as well as check out the remaining time directly in the main window.
Tests have pointed out that the application carries out timing tasks quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers your computer’s performance. You may keep it running in the background.

Final remarks

In conclusion, Easy Timer comes packed with limited functions for helping you activate countdown tasks, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you cannot set up audio alarms (e.g. MP3, WAV), show custom text messages, and run a custom program when the time is up.
