A simple countdown timer for Windows. Just enter the time to count down in just about any format and hit Enter.

I needed a simple countdown timer utility for Windows, but I wasn’t satisfied with any of the options available. So, I wrote Orzeszek Timer.

Just enter the time to count down in just about any format, and hit Enter to start the timer. When the timer elapses, you’ll be notified by an optional alarm.

Orzeszek Timer also supports specifying the time to count down as a command line argument, as well as the new Windows 7 Taskbar Progress Bar overlay.
