Info updated on:

ActionTimer is an automation tool that works as a countdown timer for opening applications. The utility is designed to help you enhance your workflow and consequently, boost your productivity. You have the ability to upgrade the tool at any moment for activating more automated actions.

The interface is minimalistic and easy to use. All you need to do is select the Open Application action, browse for the desired utility, set the time references for launching the software program, and choose a notification sound, if desired. Scheduling the timer implies either setting a time interval until the opening of the selected app, or setting the precise time for launching the utility in question.

The good thing is that you can configure multiple action timers that run individually. You can differentiate them by title, custom colors, and audio notifications. Each timer can be stopped on command and enabled again from the start, yet it can't be paused for later resuming. The notification sounds consist exclusively of audio profiles supported by the ActionTimer app, without being able to import custom sounds from your music library.

To conclude, the free version of this application automates opening your favorite utilities at the desired times so you can work productively. The tool isn't limited to launching apps, yet you need to pay for more automated actions, such as opening files, taking screenshots, printing document, moving to Trash, and clear the clipboard.
