Kitchen Timer

Kitchen Timer is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you work with a countdown timer. It is designed for helping you time cooking activities. You can extend its counting capabilities besides using it as an electronic kitchen timer, and employ it to check how much time you spend on various projects and tasks.

Simple layout

The tool sports a clean design that reveals a well-structured suite of features. All setup parameters are revealed directly in the main window so you can quickly reach out and tweak them. There’s no support for a help manual. However, you can configure the setup options on your own because they look easy to work with.

Time your activities

Kitchen Timer offers you the possibility to set the countdown timer in days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. What’s more, you can make the application either count up or down, start, stop, pause, or resume the timer, as well as reset the information with a single click.
When the time is up, the tool is able to play an audio alarm and show a popup message. You can close the audio notification by stopping the timer, disable countdown alarms, as well as execute a custom command at the end of a countdown session.
Tests have pointed out that Kitchen Timer carries out a task quickly and without errors. It remains friendly with system resources so the overall performance of the system is not hampered.

Final remarks

To sum things up, Kitchen Timer comprises a set of handy and basic features for helping you check out how much time you need to complete all sorts of tasks, and can be configured by less experienced users and professionals alike. However, you should know that it does not bring lots of customization options because you cannot set up custom audio alarms by importing files from your collection and show a user-defined text message.
