SnapTimer

All the timers I tested were too complex for my taste. I decided to write one that was dead simple, so you could run it, type in a time and hit enter. The aim of SnapTimer is to get out of the way and help you be productive.

Fantastic application. A problem I've had with other timers I've tried has been with the amount of memory they use, clearly taking more than the application really needs, but SnapTimer uses significantly less memory compared to others I've tried. Beyond that, it's also simple to use. Basically, all you need in a timer without any extra junk to get in the way.

Really simple and useful timer, hides in tray, can show any type of popup, notification, etc and sound. Would love to make it start at startup by default minimized though.

What is SnapTimer?

All the timers I tested were too complex for my taste. I decided to write one that was dead simple, so you could run it, type in a time and hit enter. The aim of SnapTimer is to get out of the way and help you be productive. It's fast, lightweight and simple to use, but powerful too.

A popular productivity strategy is to use a timer to do mini-sprints of work. Using SnapTimer I've increased my productivity and reduced procrastination. It's easier to get yourself to work on a difficult task for 5 minutes because there's a known end point.
