CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This stopwatch application may be somewhat of a one-trick pony, but it does provide a couple of neat features for no cash. Cool Timer's easy-to-understand interface can be programmed to count down from any number of hours, minutes, and seconds you specify. Once the time is up, it will play a MP3, WAV, or MIDI file of your choice. This app's feature set is by no means gigantic, but we really liked the tool for customizing the color scheme of the timer's background, LCD, and buttons. The main window can also be resized to a larger view. Cool Timer's focus is certainly very narrow, but folks seeking an attractive, simple, and free stopwatch program will find it a suitable choice.Publisher's description
From Harmony Hollow Software :Simple, no-nonsense, handy timer utility with a cool, customizable interface. Can be used like an oven timer, alarm clock, or stopwatch. Plays wav, mp3, midi files, or any of several built-in sounds as an alarm. Can optionally display a custom, scrolling, LED-type text message when the alarm sounds to remind you why you set the timer initially. Use as an alarm clock to wake you up or remind you when it is a certain time of day.

Version: Cool Timer 3.6
Pros: Very configurable. You're not stuck with the default pink
Cons: None except the default pink :)
Summary: I use time box management techniques. This means I set exactly a specified amount of time aside for particular tasks and when the designated time is up I move on to the next task. This timer has presets that allow me to schedule tasks very quickly... read more >>

Version: Cool Timer 3.6
"Perfect - latest version very configurable"
Pros: Surprisingly configurable for a free product. If a countdown is all you want but like to set color, sound, and size options as well as the time, this will do fine. And the price is right!
Cons: Not a thing to dislike!
Summary: I have a VERY hard time remembering to take breaks from the computer, which results in extreme eyestrain at times. I had used this timer a long time ago but had forgotten about it. Today I redownloaded to discover it is more flexible than earlier... read more >>

Version: Cool Timer 3.6
"Exactly what I was looking for!"
Pros: Incredibly simple program. I especially love the pop up box that lets you know when the countdown is complete. I often have the sound muted on my computer.
Cons: I don't have any problems with this program. I wanted something simple, that's what I got.
