Marxio Timer - reminder and timer program [discontinued]
Marxio Timer - reminder and timer program [discontinued]
I'd like to present you my new app - Marxio Timer.
http://www.marxio-tools.net/en/marxio-timer.htm
If you have any comments, suggestions, please e-mail me.
Program executes action specified by user (turn off, restart computer, hibernate, suspend, logout user, lock desktop, display text, play sound, run other application). It's run at time specified or when idle time elapses. It can also repeat actions after n minutes or start countdown seconds to execute action. Marxio Timer can display countdown window, can be minimized to icon on taskbar or hidden from user eyes completely. Started actions can be secured with password - no terminate possible if user doesn't know the right password. Created actions can be saved for further use or a shortcut can be put on desktop to speed up access to created actions.
Program is very easy to use with a user friendly interface. See screenshot.
Few examples of what Marxio Timer can do:
timer - shutting down computer at specifiec hour
parental control - locks computer after specified time elapses, thus blocking childred to play games - password needed to unlock computer
energy saver - computer enters hibernate/standby mode after specified "idle time" elapses, saving your energy bills, or just makes itself quiet when you are alreasy aslept
reminder - displays text or plays sound at the time you specified, like every 30 min, once, after 30 min, in 30 min and so on
running other applications - Timer works in background and executes specificed program. When ? Depends on You

Re: Marxio Timer - powerful and easy reminder and timer program
Marxio Timer is at version 1.8.1 now.
It is a very useful application.
After a discussion I had with its author, I am sad to say that he is thinking to stop developing it due to the costs.
If you like this tool please take a moment and make a small donation.

"There comes a time when even good software eventually dies.
Due to increased costs of upkeeping this project (domain,
hosting, other costs), impossibility to improve and extend these
programs (free programming environment limitations, commercial
environment and components needed) and due to lack of support
to this project (no any donations so far), this project will probably
be suspended soon. I'm not able to finance it with my own savings......"
"Great thanks to all for using it, for suggestions that made those
applications "masters in their's software cathegory".
This site will be available for few months from now, till hosting will
not end.
If you have any questions, go ahead and drop me a line".

Re: Marxio Timer - powerful and easy reminder and timer program
The author has contacted me after I emailed him about the software.
While I offered to pay for a version without a built in time limit he didn't mention that at all in his response.
I cant be certain but I believe this might mean it never contained a time limit.
I believe that the notice to that affect (it contained a time limit) was a cut and paste, or cookie cutter style of web-page following a current model I would guess or fulfilling host requirements.
The developer was very nice and shared the following with me:
I think if we like the software enough to use it we should donate since he seems to have followed a donation-ware model,
and he might get back to developing it.

I will thank the author since he is nice and has shared with us all.Hi,
Project is suspended right now. Try installer version - same functionality and does not integrate with registry - it just copies itself to destination folder and makes shortcuts, entry in "add and remove programs" windows group and other simple actions.Once uninstalled no trace in Windows remains.

Re: Marxio Timer - powerful and easy reminder and timer program
So someone in entry comments uploaded a replacement program:
I have not tested it but the user pkl9kpl posting in the entry: https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2813 that the download is offline. He or she also posted a download, which I have mirrored.

Note that the program does phone home, I believe to check for updates.
