Developer’s Description

By ericeubank.com

Use timer to be alerted with any combination of custom visual and audible alerts.

Tea Timer is a notification tray application that acts as a virtual egg timer/tea timer. You can use it to alert you when your tea is steeped, your coffee is brewed, the pizza in the oven is done. You can be alerted when a timer pops with any combination of custom visual and audible alerts as well as by launching a program of your choosing. With six presets, you can quickly start commonly used timers just by right-clicking the notification icon. Timers can also be set to repeat making them useful for scheduling redundant tasks.

Version 1.5.3 fixes bugs, adds functionality such as the ability to have timers execute programs, and the ability to customize alerts on a per timer basis.

Almost destroyed my computer!
claramjDecember 9, 2010
Pros
non,NON, Non!000000!
Cons
too many to say, but thing must be said it caused my computer to shut down and slowed it down to snails pace, my PC took forever to start, and got error for it Tea timer popping up all the time freezing everything to where I had to reboot, stay away!
Summary
well see the above for most of it, but to cont with it, I got mine with Spybot Search and destroy which was okay itself but the Tea Timer is what was the problem, and the only way I could get rid of Tea Timer was to get rid of Spybot too, but sense I have other programs that work as good as it I its worth loosing it to get my PC working again, what ever you do don't put it in by itself or Spybot ether because it is hard to get rid of, and its not worth all the trouble anyway, I have some family member who are really good with computer and they say they would never even bother with Spybot and Tea Timer is one of the reason why, stay away from it, check up on it on the net before you mess your PC up, I had programs crash on me because it, I have had it slow the computer down, shut it off while I was online, playing a game, or even when it was on but I wasn't doing anything and it just had the desktop wallpaper on it,lol, it didn't seem to matter, oh and I have 3 GB memory cards and a duel processor and the PC is only 3 years old with allot of new parts added so it should be fast and was until Tea Timer and Spybot, so stay away from both, trust me its not worth it just because its free.
memory hog & SLOW!

Pros
it may do what it claims, I can't tell.
Cons
I have one machine with it on out of three, and I don't notice any difference - except that machine is s-l-o-w because of it.
Summary
Takes forever to boot up, and hogs 81 megs of memory. Once installed, you have to uninstall SpyBot to get rid of it - a worthwhile 'sacrifice'. Forget this one.
Easy to use timer. Very convenient!

Pros
Easy to click and set days, hours, minutes, or seconds for countdown timer. Visual and/or audible alert when timer finishes its countdown.
Cons
None to speak of
Summary
Great little timer for most anything - remind yourself the tea is brewed, or to put clothes in dryer, or time to pick up kids from school, whatever! You can set minutes, or hours, or seconds, or even days. Can create your own pre-sets and name them. Requires Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 in order to function. This is a separate (free) download here at Download.com or from Msft. website. You may already have it. Check in Start/ControlPanel/Add_Remove_Programs list to see if it's listed.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 17, 2009<p/>Have used TeaTimer for 5 years or more with no problems at all. Uses 24MB of memory but, heck, who doesn't haven't lots of memory these days in their computer? Also, it looks nice. Cool Timer, on the other hand, is ugly to look at.
DON'T download this!!!

Pros
Cons
Sucks up a lot of memory-and I can't get rid of it. Tried deleting, but it keeps restoring itself. Doesn't show up under Add/remove problems. I only gave it one star because I wasn't allowed to submit zero.
Summary
takes tons of memory! shuts my system down
arrie99March 29, 2008
Pros
Cons
it begins to run at 100% in the task manager and shuts my system down...then I have to go and disable the protection every time I boot the system. It is sucking up my memory.
Summary
Mediocre 3MB application uses 30MB of memory.
sr.mattoOctober 11, 2006
Pros
It does what it advertises, it just does it poorly.
Cons
The download weighs in at 624KB. The install directory is around 3 MB. But when you check the task manager it records the Tea Timer as using 30MB of memory. This is unacceptable for something with such a poor interface is so slow. CoolTimer uses 4MB of memory just as a comparison. There are only 6 presets, this is okay but the interface really could be a lot better.
Summary
Excellent, easy to use.

Pros
Stable, reliable, customizable. Can set multiple timers with multiple settings. Repeatable timers. Helps me keep track of many things at once, both work and non-work related.
Cons
Summary
Quite pointless
