What Is CustomTimer?
<p>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).
</p>
<p>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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>1 minute and 30 seconds</li>
<li>1 min 30 sec</li>
<li>1m 30s</li>
<li>1:30</li>
<li>0:01:30</li>
<li>:90</li>
<li>90s</li>
</ul>
<p>So are these:
</p>
<ul>
<li>2 Days, 1 Hour, and 0 Minutes</li>
<li>2 d 1hr </li>
<li>2 days 1:00:00</li>
<li>49:00:00</li>
<li>49 hr</li>
<li>49 hours</li>
<li>2940 minutes</li>
</ul>

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

Future Improvements
<p>
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.

Open Source
Any chance you’ll go open source with this project? This sounds like an app that i could modify into letting me set the computer to log off, or w/e i want it to (hopefully launch a program too) at a certain time. I guess to do that scheduling would be a nice feature too, but that seems like a different program, not just a minor modification.
Sure
I’m not sure about going open source, but I will essentially make it public domain and send you the source code if you like. Just contact me. Alan J. Hogan
