Stopwatch312

It is often necessary to measure how long it takes to perform a certain activity, as well as set a timer in order to organize your workflow, but you usually need to rely on a specialized utility to perform these actions.
Stopwatch312 is an application that can help you out in this scenario, as it provides you with a basic stopwatch and timer you can use from your desktop. The program lacks polish, however, and it offers a limited array of features.

Simple to install, but not exactly unobtrusive

The installation procedure is not at all complex, and you can access the application from the newly created desktop shortcut as soon as the setup process is completed.
The program window is displayed in the top-left corner of your screen, but it is not possible to move it to another location or resize it. Naturally, this is a major drawback, as the utility is likely to get in your way while performing other tasks.

Offers basic functionality and is rather difficult to use

While the application does come equipped with both a timer and stopwatch, these utilities are not that easy to configure, as it is not possible to enter values using the keyboard.
The timer is fairly straightforward, and you can either select one of the available alarm sounds or specify which audio file should be played when the countdown reaches zero.
The stopwatch allows you to record lap times in addition to the total time, and this information can be saved locally to a text file.

Features a disappointing user interface

In addition to the fact that the program window cannot be moved from its initial position, it is worth noting that the UI is noticeably out of date. Given that such an application is likely to be kept on your desktop for extended periods, its visual presentation is quite important.
In conclusion, Stopwatch312 is a simplistic utility that needs to be improved in multiple respects, as it features an unimpressive user interface and is not particularly intuitive.
