Cool Timer 5.0

Cool Timer is a handy time-related application that can be used for multiple purposes and in various ways.

It offers three operation modes ─ countdown timer, alarm clock, and stopwatch. Cool Timer implements a colorful and eye-catching interface that can be fully customized up to your utmost satisfaction. The program is very lightweight and uses very little system resources.

Cool Timer offers many interesting features and configurable options. For example, when working in countdown mode you can set the countdown time for up to 1000 hours and activate a visual indicator of the time elapsed. Besides, the program includes multiple funny sounds for you to select and to be played when the alarm or countdown goes off. You can also select your own MP3 or WAV file for this purpose though, and you can even use the program to record sounds using a microphone. Additionally, you can set the program to show a customized message, in a scrolling LED style, to go with the configured sound.

But there are even more helpful features in this tool. For example, Cool Timer can wake up your PC from hibernation mode and/or unmute your system automatically when the alarm is about to sound. Besides, you can set an application to be launched or a document or webpage to be opened automatically when the alarm goes off. Not to mention that you can show or hide the countdown timer animation window, where you will see a funny clock image fading up or down.

Although Cool Timer is a free tool, it has a few disadvantages that are worth mentioning. For example, the program's installer tries to install at least four third-party tools that most users will probably not be interested in. Besides, the program includes several options whose only purpose is encouraging you to buy Cool Timer Deluxe. This is a much more comprehensive edition of the program, which you can purchase and install on your PC for just $15.00.
