Timer Overview

Orzeszek Timer is a basic countdown timer for Windows. Just enter a time in just about any format, and hit Enter. Orzeszek Timer will count down to zero and, optionally, notify you with an alarm.

Orzeszek Timer accepts a number of formats for specifying the time to count down:

• 5 – 5 minutes
• 2.5 – 2 minutes 30 seconds
• 1d 5h 3m 25s – 1 day 5 hours 3 minutes 25 seconds
• 1.05:03:25 – 1 day 5 hours 3 minutes 25 seconds
• 1 5 3 25 – 1 day 5 hours 3 minutes 25 seconds
• 01/01/2011 – until midnight on 1 January 2011
• 01/01/2011 5:00 PM – until 5:00 pm on 1 January 2011

It’s designed to be flexible in the formats that it accepts, so if you’re not sure whether it’ll accept a different format, just try it.

Orzeszek Timer can also accept the time to count down as a command line argument in any of the formats supported by the user interface. For example, “Orzeszek Timer.exe” 15 minutes 25 seconds.

To turn the alarm on or off, or to change the alarm sound, just right-click and choose the correct setting. You can also add custom .wav files to the Sounds folder and use those instead.
