It counts down for a certain time, then completes one or more actions, eg beep, play a system sound in the background, execute a program, and/or pop up a reminder message.
Set the minute and second spin buttons independently; maximum time is 60 minutes and 60 seconds.
The window is small enough to overlap the WarpCenter and therefore not interfere with running programs.
Use the popup menu to select actions, or use command line parameters.
The Go button starts countdown, and the Stop button stops countdown and resets initial time.
This is not a replacement for a full chron program eg Egg Timer/2 does not allow you to start from a fixed time.
