  • What’s the best website to use as a timer?
    Check out hourglass if you are on Windows. It’s a simple portable timer with no fluff. Source: over 1 year ago
  • how to add a timer that is counting down from a certain amount of hours that stays on the the screen and doesn't reset when laptop shuts down
    I have not used or tried this app https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Anybody know a good countdown timer for windows? I'd rather not use whatever web tools are out there. All I want out of it is to start the countdown over with just one click, and set my own alarm sound.
    Https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ put your alarm sounds in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hourglass or just the local folder if you use the portable version. Source: about 2 years ago
  • [Steam] Summer Sale 2021 (Day 5)
    Put a slightly less than 2hr timer (e.g. I use this https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ but any similar would do), if you are not sure then uninstall and ask for a refund. EZ PZ. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Program to display timer/stopwatch on taskbar in windows 10?
    Try https://tomighty.github.io/ or https://chris.dziemborowicz.com/apps/hourglass/ - when minimized to taskbar icon it shows time progress as a background colour. If you find something better let me know. I also looking for a regular clock in taskbar (hour & minutes only). Source: almost 3 years ago
