yTimer Portable

This is the portable twin of yTimer, a feature-rich software application designed to schedule tasks when it comes to launching programs and triggering sound alerts. It comes packed with many handy options that should meet the requirements of most users.

Portability advantages

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can extract the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to run.
There is also the possibility to save yTimer to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important aspect worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not receive new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, leaving it clean after removal.

Clear-cut interface and options

The GUI is represented by a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where you can create a new task by entering a few details. These include the job description, timer mode (countdown or specific time), timer repeat and sound alert.

Personalize the timer via various settings

It is also possible to display an alert that stays on top of other programs, run another previously made timer, launch a file, as well as run preset timers. While they are still running, you can pause or delete them. Entries may be duplicated, while the alarm volume can be tested.

Evaluation and conclusion

CPU and RAM consumption was low during our evaluation, and yTimer did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time and works smoothly. Thanks to its comprehensive, yet intuitive options, yTimer caters to all types of users, regardless of their previous experience with such apps.
