Free Countdown Timer is distributed in a form of an automated installer that can be easily deployed on any modern and legacy desktop and laptop PC machine, featuring even support for legacy versions of Windows OS such as Windows XP. The app is lightweight and fast, and therefore can easily run in the background and be an unobtrusive service that users can rely on to get accurate reminders featuring notification messages, strong audio feedback, or even playback of their favorite song.
The main dashboard of this app features a streamlined and easy-to-use interface that promotes an eye-catching listing of soon-to-expire countdowns and an easy way to add brand-new countdown timers. New timers can be added by simply clicking on the “Add” button at the top of the main dashboard screen, opening an extensive configuration popup window that features exact time configuration, label with a custom message, and Alarm settings (system sound or custom file playback, volume controls, repeat sound, snooze, and turn on monitor tool).
What`s new
The timer app has undergone various improvements, including changes to the form for editing timers, the ability for the main window to remain hidden on startup if it was hidden previously, and hiding of the audio slider when the "Turn on the volume" setting is unchecked. The overdue time label format in the alert window has also been updated, and a new timer mode "OnZero: Run as stopwatch" has been added. Additionally, some interface languages have been corrected, an empty folder creation issue has been fixed, and various other bug fixes and improvements have been made.
