Timed Shutdown

Timed Shutdown is a small software application whose purpose is to help you automatically shut down, stand by, restart, or lock your computer, log off the current user, or activate the hibernation mode.

Straightforward layout

The tool implements an intuitive behavior so tweaking the desired parameters proves to be an easy task. As soon as you make the necessary settings, it automatically hides itself in the system tray and works in the background without interfering with your work.

Scheduling a shutdown session

Timed Shutdown gives you the possibility to view the current time displayed in the primary panel, enter a custom time when the task is triggered, pick the date, and choose the desired action from a drop-down list (e.g. shut down, restart, lock, hibernate). Additionally, you can make the tool play sound notifications and force the running utilities to close.

Other handy features that you can play with

Other notable characteristics worth being mentioned enable you to use a countdown timer and set the time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. What’s more, you are allowed to view the current and target time, check out the remaining time with the aid of a countdown timer, as well as abort the current action with just one click.
Last but not least, it is important to mention that you can make the application trigger an action when the CPU usage goes down or when you get disconnected from the Internet.

Bottom line

All in all, Timed Shutdown comes packed with some handy features for helping you automate shutdown tasks, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
