To-do lists are meant to remind you about certain appointments or activities you have planned in certain days, as well as chores or job deadlines.

The tasks you add are arranged in a table featuring two columns, in order to store the number of desired minutes and a description for the task. A first drawback would be the fact that the main window is rather small and you cannot fit more than one word in the description field without having to use the scroll bar in order to read it.

You can, however, display it on the screen at any point and see the amount of time that has passed.

You can bring them back later by making use of the load button, which allows you to open the aforementioned text files. In addition, after the timer for each task runs out, the application can render a sound in order to alert you about its completion. This sound can be replaced with any compatible MP3 file from your computer. Furthermore, you can enable the confirmation dialogs, which pop-up every time an item on your list expires. In conclusionDespite the few drawbacks, todoTimer is a friendly and potentially useful application to have around on your computer, especially if you want an utility that does not affect your system memory. It is, however, a bit too small and crowded to be properly used as a task reminder. Reviewed by Alexandru Dulcianu, last updated on July 7th, 2014
