Free Countdown Timer is a lightweight application designed to countdown the time left till a particular upcoming event.
The interface is straightforward and extremely easy to use. What's great about this program is that you can set as many alarms as you want, each of them individually editable. You simply add a new countdown timer, set the precise date and time for releasing a notification, label the event for knowing which occasion it announces, and select a sound alarm; these are the basic settings you need to enable for getting an audio and visual warning when time has elapsed. In addition, you have an ability to clone an already existing alarm and edit the issues that make the new record different from the original. This way, you save great time with editing the timers.
Fortunately, the app comes with a series of predefined sound alerts; however, you are free to choose favorite audio files stored on your computer for playing with the enabled alarm. Thus, you will receive the notification in an agreeable and pleasant way. The program stays hidden in the system tray; yet, if you want to keep a permanent visual contact on the amount of time till a specified event, you have the option to activate a floating semitransparent window with the timer.
All in all, this is a nice program intended for alert notifications of future occurrences. You can use it as an event reminder, alarm clock, or simply to announce you about things to do in future.
