CustomTimer - A free countdown timer - Latest version

Lastest Version: 2.3.0.2

What Is CustomTimer?

I wrote this program as an exercise in C# and .NET.  Because it’s my first project in those technologies, it’s not the best-designed, most elegant, or fullest-featured program, but it works, and it’s free (with no adware/spyware).

Simply enter a time, choose any options you want, and hit the Enter key or the Start button (its’s pretty big – you can’t miss it!).  Entering a time from which to count down from is pretty flexible, too.  The following are equivalent:

• 1 minute and 30 seconds
• 1 min 30 sec
• 1m 30s
• 1:30
• 0:01:30
• :90
• 90s

So are these:

• 2 Days, 1 Hour, and 0 Minutes
• 2 d 1hr
• 2 days 1:00:00
• 49:00:00
• 49 hr
• 49 hours
• 2940 minutes

Download

The latest version is here: CustomTimer_2_3_0_2.zip

Unzip it and run setup.exe.  Ignore any warnings that the publisher cannot be verified.  You may need to install the .Net runtime, but it will guide you through it, and it’s an easy process.

Future Improvements

In the future, I may add the ability to count down to a specific date or time.  An even better feature would be custom alerts: A message box, a sound playing, a file launching, etc.  Snooze might also be a good feature.
