TimeTask

TimeTask is a small software application that helps you create reminders and play your favorite audio files from a single working environment.

The advantages of being portable

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to work with a task manager and basic audio player on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Clean feature lineup

You are welcomed by a multi-tabbed layout that allows you quickly switch between two main functions of the program: Timers and Music.
It doesn’t offer support for a help manual but it implements an intuitive behavior, so even less experienced users can easily discover and tweak its features.
Several functions of the app can be accessed by performing a right-click mouse operation on the program’s icon from the system tray. You may stop the current song, jump to the previous or next audio file, and make the tool remain on top of other windows.

Setting up timers

TimeTask gives you the possibility to build up a list with multiple reminders and view information about each one, such as start time, recurrence data, text message, status, and others.
When it comes to creating a new reminder that helps you remember of upcoming events, you can specify a start and end time, pick the date, set up the recurrence parameters (e.g. once, daily, weekly, monthly), reveal a user-defined text message, and play a preset sound notification.
Additionally, you can make the application open a specific document or website, run a program, play an audio file, shut down, restart or lock the computer, or activate a standby or log off session. You may modify each reminder, and enable, disable, or delete them.

Built-in audio player

You can make use of the tool’s playing capabilities in order to organize your audio files in different categories, such as Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Dance, Country, Classical, or user-defined ones.
The tool works with the following file formats: MP3, WMA, and WAV. Plus, you may play, pause, or stop the current audio selection, go to the previous or next song from the list, adjust the volume, seek for a position in the audio stream, as well as view information about each item, such as title, artist, and length.
Other audio features worth being taken into consideration give you the possibility to perform search operations, repeat or shuffle songs, clear the entire list with just one click, and upload the content of an entire folder to the list.

Bottom line

All in all, TimeTask mixes up a straightforward interface with several handy features in order to help you set up reminders and listen to audio files, and is suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
