Question

Multiple Countdown Timer Software

Mar 23, 2016 1:27AM PDT

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's a piece of software which can start one countdown then once that one finishes, starts another? For example, I need a timer for 7 min, then for 1 min then loop.

Thank you,

Chmmr

That seems something to write yourself so it fits your exact requirements.

Even back in DOS days and in Windows today (all versions) I can write a batch or script file to do this.

Example.

Sleep (put number here)
Beep (or an app that pops up)
Sleep (put number here)
Beep (or what you want)

Repeat as needed.

Need more advanced scripting? Look up AutoIT. Example sleep and beep discussion at https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/38403-script-stop-and-beep/
