BlingClock Timer

A timer application is always useful, regardless if you have an upcoming appointment or you just need to wait until something is done boiling in the kitchen. Apart from a simple clock, Windows doesn't come with any timing features, but you can find numerous third party applications on the Internet. BlingClock Timer provides you with a countdown timer, a stopwatch, as well as a standard clock. The interface's modern design and the fact that you can make various settings make this application an excellent substitute for many other timing applications.

BlingClock Timer is distributed as a freeware application, for Windows and Mac platforms. The installation process involves only a few simple settings, like selecting a destination folder and creating a desktop shortcut. Once you install BlingClock Timer, you can run it right away, without restarting your computer or installing additional tools.

The user interface presents a digital countdown timer, along with options for increasing or decreasing the number of minutes and seconds, resetting the timer and more. The countdown is also illustrated as a progress bar, which changes colors when a certain amount of time is elapsed. You can switch between different view modes, to replace the progress bar with dots or a pie chart, of different sizes. You can also choose between two options layouts, with nothing more than a single click.

You can also find an option for switching to a stopwatch or a standard digital clock. The clock and the stopwatch come with the same options, for changing the view mode, the options layout and so on. You can set the main window to stay on top of everything else on your screen, hide or unhide its edges and title bar or set it to full screen mode. Additionally, you can switch to a compact interface, if you need to work and keep an eye on the clock at the same time.

The application allows you to make numerous general settings, in a menu, on the same interface. You can select different sounds, or load audio files, which should be played when the countdown timer reaches zero, set the clock to 24 hour format, select different color themes and more.
