KP Timer

Your schedule can easily become crowded, which might make you forget about some important activities. If your work involves using a computer, you can benefit from a variety of applications which can trigger alerts at a given time. This is also the case with KP Timer, which is easy to configure for any needs.

Quick and easy time configuration

One advantage in particular is the lack of a setup process, which means it’s portable, so you can store it on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers. As such, registry entries are not altered during the process, so you can rest assured that the health status of the target PC remains intact.
The application comes with a custom-made interface, although features are wrapped around a classic window frame. The overall feel is pretty intuitive, but it can be rather frustrating to work with small dials and sliders. When done, the application can easily be minimized to the taskbar, and not the tray area.

Set a custom audio file as an alert

There are a couple of modes to set the alarm timer. This means that the alarm can ring after a given amount of time, or when the clock strikes the exact configured hour. You get to use a couple of sliders in order to set the desired hour and minute, regardless of the mode you choose.
The configured time is displayed in one section, while the other shows the remaining time. The application comes with a preset audio alert. It can be changed, but the source file needs to be under the WAV format, and placed in the source folder, replacing the original audio file.

In conclusion

All in all, KP Timer is a pretty straightforward alarm clock for your desktop. It delivers an intuitive set of features, with a rather awkward mode of changing the audio alert. It’s mostly useful as a one-time alarm, which can either be triggered after and amount of time, or at an exact hour.
