Pressbox (Press Release) -
Cool Timer, a freeware program for Windows from software publisher Harmony Hollow Software has been updated to include new features and more functionality.
The program was originally written as a simple countdown timer, functioning similarly to an oven timer, to limit the amount of time that the author's kids were using the computer. It could be set for a certain amount of time, and then would sound an alarm, which could be any sound file or one of several built-in sounds, to let the kids know that their alotted computer time was up. It has become widely used by teachers and parents worldwide for similar purposes.
Over time, the program has evolved to serve as an alarm clock as well, and now in this new release, also a stopwatch. In addition to this, new version 3.5 also features the ability to display a custom LED-style scrolling text message whenever the alarm sounds, reminding users of why the countdown timer or alarm clock was set.
The program also features a fully customizable interface and the ability to save and load preset times in countdown and alarm clock modes for added convenience.
