About Countdown Timer

 



Please take a few moments to complete our short online feedback form. It will take less than two minutes.

The Countdown Timer is still in beta testing mode. We are scheduled to release the complete version in the next few months. Any questions about this program can be sent to support@lanzafamesoftware.com


The Countdown Timer is used to create computer based countdown timers. The system generates a days, hours, minutes and seconds format timer based upon a supplied target date and time. The target date and time can be specified down to a specific second.  Once a timer has been completed it can visually & audiable alarm or run a pre-determined action. Your computer can run a countdown timer in the background while you work without any decrease in system performance.
