Taskbar Timer Portable

Made as the portable counterpart of Taskbar Timer, Taskbar Timer Portable is a lightweight software application that enables you to configure a countdown timer via the systray. It comes packed with several options that can be easily fiddled with.

Portability advantages

There is no setup pack involved. Instead, you can copy the downloaded files to a custom directory on the disk or to a removable storage unit, in order to seamlessly launch Taskbar Timer Portable on any PC with minimum effort and no previous setup. It doesn't modify system registry settings, so it doesn't increase the risk of OS stability issues.

Runs in the systray

The program gets integrated into the system tray at startup and facilitates quick access to its control panel and options through its right-click menu.
The timer can be set in days, hours, minutes and seconds, as well as started, pause and reset with the click of a button. Moreover, you can assign a favorite song as the audio alert and test it.

Configure a countdown timer

From the right-click menu of the tray icon, it's possible to increase the timer by 1 minute, 10 minutes and 1 hour, as well as to start and stop it. Once time's up, the utility shows a balloon message and plays the sound alert. Unfortunately, there is no support implemented for keyboard shortcuts.

Evaluation and conclusion

It didn't hang, crash or indicate errors in our tests, remaining stable throughout its runtime. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal, so it didn't put a strain on the computer's performance.
To sum it up, Taskbar Timer comes bundled with intuitive options to help you schedule countdown for various purpose through visual and video means. On the other hand, it doesn't support multiple tasks, so you can configure only one countdown timer at a time.
