Simple countdown timer.

Overview

To set the timer, click on the display and select the Start... menu item. A dialog will appear that allows you to specify the countdown time in hours, minutes, and seconds. The dialog also allows you to specify which of the following forms of notification you want when the timer gets down to 00:00:00:

Play the system alert sound
Display an alert window
Make a spoken announcement. You can specify the text to be spoken.

This is a great little application that does what it says. There are plenty of countdown timers available in dashboard, but for what I use it for, dashboard is really inconvenient. I'd suggest the option of using a different alert sound than the system alert sound. Otherwise it's great.
