Marxio Timer provides a simple set of tools for creating a customized reminder system. With two distinct ways of perfecting a reminder, this program is easy and fast to set.
The program's interface is surprisingly simple to handle, thanks in part to the well-labeled single-screen commands. You can choose what type of alarm you want--options range from everything from traditional alarm clock sounds to sounds for computer shutdown. You can take a screenshot, open a specific program, and much more. Each was simple to choose and easy to understand, and none ever left us guessing its function. The second strong component of this alarm system is its capability to choose when to perform its task. You can set a traditional timer, choose a percentage of CPU usage, idle time, or other triggers. No matter the combination you select, the program performs its duty accurately and on time, each time. Marxio Timer also provides an interesting feature that saves a specific alarm setup so it can be reenacted at a later date with only a single button click. This is a thoughtful alarm program, and we were pleased with every aspect of it.
Marxio Timer is freeware. It installs desktop icons without asking permission. By providing a bevy of alarm settings and options, it's a great choice for those in need of a reminder, and we highly recommend it.
Publisher's Description
From Marek Mantaj:
Marxio Timer is a powerful timer and reminder tool which executes scheduled tasks (turn off PC, restart, lock screen, display text, run selected application) at any time you want: after n minutes, before, every, after idle time, every idle time, once, when cpu above or below given value for a specified perioid. It is the perfect tool to program your computer to perform certain actions without needing your constant attention. The program lets you select the type of task and the moment when it should be done, and includes some additional features such as showing a countdown window or taking a screenshot. Marxio Timer includes a very interesting feature: the ability to save user profiles and even create a desktop shortcut for them for quick start of created tasks. This program is ideal for such purpose like: timer, reminder, parental control, energy saver or just running other applications automatically at selected time.
What's new in this version: Version 1.12.2 has added the ability to play classic wave files and sound and tex action now displays text or sound file.

"Real 5-star application"
Version: Marxio Timer 1.12.2
Pros
Real masterpiece. Tens of actions and advanced short-time scheduler. Thigs that dozens of other applications can offer but here we have all-on-one. Portable.
Cons
few in the past, now without any flaws - at least I didn't find any new so far
Summary
I have been using Marxio Timer for over a year till non and it's super when you receive more and more in newer versions. New so called actions that this timer can execute, more and more customizable over time. Updates are so often released (every few days) that once I suggested developers to remove such annoying popup that showed up every few days, that they finally removed it. This is my feature :)
I use version 1.13.1 right now and for those who tried to use 1.12.2....yes I was also affected by this bug and lost few auctions on ebay as i set countdown timer on two auctions, but this was fixed - as I remember - after few days, so as you see, it's worth downloading this tool. It's portable so no worry it will harm you computer. -
"installed. error at runtime. application DOES NOT WORK"
Version: Marxio Timer 1.12.2
Pros
not applicable
Cons
does not run
Summary
needs to be fixed and rebuild
-
"installation failure"
Version: Marxio Timer 1.12.2
Pros
don't know ... couldn't get it to install properly so that it would run
Cons
After installing, the program would fail to launch giving a pop-up error (see below)
Summary
I tried 3 times to install the software, and each time got a "Encode Date Error" popup when I tried to launch. I ran a registry cleaner in between attempts, turned off virus scan, downloaded 2nd time, etc. and nothing worked. Disappointed as I thought this was what I needed and it had received 2 favorable votes (without responses). BTW, I'm running it on a lenovo laptop with XP Pro O/S. Hope the developer can fix the problem and give us an alert when it's operable.
