Jumbo Timer

Jumbo Timer 3.0

Windows / Johannes Wallroth / 9318 / Full spec
Description

Jumbo Timer is a versatile and powerful desktop timer program that offers a range of features to help you manage your time more effectively. Whether you need to keep track of how long you've been working on a project, time your workouts, or simply set reminders for important tasks, Jumbo Timer has got you covered.

One of the standout features of Jumbo Timer is its resizable timer windows. You can easily adjust the size of the timer window to suit your needs, from tiny to full screen and everything in between. This means that you can keep an eye on your timers without having them take up too much space on your desktop.

Jumbo Timer also offers three different modes: Count Down, Stopwatch, and Alarm Clock. The Count Down mode allows you to set a specific amount of time for the timer to count down from, while Stopwatch mode lets you track how much time has elapsed since you started the timer. The Alarm Clock mode allows you to set an alarm for a specific time.

Another great feature of Jumbo Timer is its unlimited timers with cloning function. This means that once you've created a timer with all the settings that work best for you, it's easy to clone it and create as many copies as needed without having to start from scratch each time.

In addition, Jumbo Timer allows users to pause and resume timers later on if needed. Even if the program is inactive or minimized during this period, it will continue counting down accurately when resumed later on.

The alarm function in Jumbo Timer is also highly customizable - users can choose between playing an audio file (in wav/mp3/wma format) or having the program speak out loud using text-to-speech technology. Additionally, users can choose from adjustable color schemes with inactive segment color when in LED-style mode.

For those who prefer keyboard shortcuts over mouse clicks - global hotkeys are available which allow quick access without needing any mouse interaction at all! And if desired there's even an optional display showing days and 1/10 seconds!

Finally - one last feature worth mentioning about Jumbo Timer is its hidden (system tray) mode which keeps things discreetly out-of-sight until needed again!

Overall - whether used by professionals or casual users alike; whether managing work projects or personal hobbies; whether timing workouts or cooking times; whether needing reminders throughout busy days...Jumbo Timer provides everything necessary for effective management!

Review

Timers and alarms can help you keep track of all kinds of things, whether they're reminding you of your 2:00 meeting or that it's time to take the cake out of the oven. Jumbo Timer is a flexible program that combines timer, alarm clock, and stopwatch features and allows users to create as many of them as they need. Unfortunately, functional problems limited the usefulness of this otherwise promising program.

Jumbo Timer has a simple interface. The numbers of the clock or timer are displayed in an easy-to-read typeface in black on a white background, with an attractive blue border. You can configure the program by clicking on a small Settings button that appears when you mouse over the interface. This opens a large but well-organized configuration panel. You can select whether you want to use the Stop Watch, Count Down, or Alarm Clock, enable seconds or tenths of seconds, change the display colors, set hot keys, and more. Each alarm has space for recording a title and any relevant notes; these will show when the alarm goes off. Notification options include a sound file -- the program comes with 10 of them -- or having the program speak the alarm's title.

This is where we first ran into problems with Jumbo Timer; although users have the option of selecting their own sound file to use for the alarm, when we tried this, the program crashed repeatedly. The real deal breaker, however, came when we attempted to create multiple alarms, which is one of Jumbo Timer's most touted features. This is done by right-clicking on an existing clock and selecting the Clone option from the context menu. In theory, this is supposed to create a new clock that can be configured as desired. In practice, though, it just caused the program to crash every time we tried it. This is unfortunate, because Jumbo Timer is otherwise a very useful program with a lot of attractive qualities.

Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of Jumbo Timer 2.21. The trial version is limited to 15 days.
