Tik-Tak

Tik-Tak is a small desktop enhancement utility whose purpose is to help you check out the time right from your screen and make use of a countdown timer in order to time different tasks and projects.

The advantages of being portable

Minimalistic looks

A small button integrated at the left corner of the main window enables you to switch between different time viewing modes. You can make the program reveal the current time, Internet time (BMT), universal coordinated time (UTC), or time elapsed since the system started.

Working with the stopwatch

Tik-Tak can easily transform itself into a stopwatch and gives you the possibility to start, pause, or stop the timer, as well as integrate dedicated buttons in the primary panel for controlling the stopwatch without having to perform a right-click operation on the clock.

Configuration settings

What’s more, you can alter the time zone, make use of preset hotkeys for fast operations, save the current settings to a file so you can upload them in the future, change the background color of the clock, adjust the transparency, and alter the time format.

Bottom line
