Description
This handy 32-bit utility lets you select from either timer or stopwatch modes, so you can count up or down to an event. Five things can happen when the time reaches 00:00:00: Time Manager can play a sound, pop up a customizable dialog box, launch a program, shut down your PC, or restart your PC. Its features include a maximize button and always-on-top functionality. It is a very simple program and is perfect for day-to-day time management.
Review
Although this program is billed as a time saver, you'll probably spend more time with Time Manager managing your software than your time. Time Manager acts like a stopwatch to chart time remaining before a certain event. Once a timer has completed its countdown, the program alerts you with a sound or a pop-up dialog box, or completes a task--such as turning off the computer, backing up files, or connecting to a network, for example--that you preprogram. The program unfortunately only allows one countdown at a time, so if you've multiple tasks, this won't be your manager of choice. Its features are few, and the program's stability is suspect, we encountered a number of program errors during testing. A somewhat clunky interface makes setting defaults and other programming choices challenging. Since Time Manager is shareware, be sure to test it before you plunk down your change.
