XNote Timer

XNote Timer is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you use a stopwatch, countdown timer, or clock for timing various activities in decimal seconds, seconds, minutes, and hours.

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 use various time management tools on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Intuitive layout and simple-to-configure options

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that allows you to carry out most of the operations with minimal effort.
XNote Timer gives you the possibility to start or stop the stopwatch, use a countdown timer, play sound notifications by uploading an audio file from your computer (WAV, MP3, WMA, MID), enable the looping function, as well as launch a custom file from your computer (EXE file format) and test it.
What’s more, when activating the countdown timer, you can make the utility close the app, restart the timer, or start counting up when the time is up.
Other notable characteristics worth being mentioned are represented by the possibility to use hotkeys for starting and stopping the time, resetting the information, and making the tool remain on top of other utilities, as well as switch to a compact mode where the time is displayed in a small panel.
During our testing we have noticed XNote Timer carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It is quite friendly with system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Bottom line

All things considered, XNote Timer offers a simple yet efficient software solution for helping you time your activities with the aid of a stopwatch, countdown timer, or clock. Its overall simplicity makes it an ideal application for rookies and professionals alike. On the downside, there is no support for exporting the time results to a file.
