The count values are shown on the left side of the screen. Every counter may have a name which is shown on the right side and may use more than one line.

Coloumn widths are adjustable. In between are five buttons for each of the counters.

From left to right their functions are: Stop, count up, count down, settings (the symbol S opens the window shown below) and set counter to zero.

If a counter has erroneously been set to zero, the count value can be restored from the clipboard (menu/edit/paste). A counter can be shifted up or down on the screen when it has the cursor by tapping on the arrow buttons next to "New".

The counters can be sorted into categories. All counters of one category can be controlled simultaneously using the menu.

In the window shown below the category of this counter can be changed, an alarm melody can be selected and the counter can be deleted.

The time set below the symbols d.h:m:s is being saved, so the counter may be started repeatedly to count down from this value and stop at zero just by touching the button "count down from".

The count value numbers can only be modified when the counter is stopped. The maximum count value is 10,000 days. Negative count values are also possible.

Scrolling with the keys is performed line by line when a counter has the cursor or else page by page. The cursor can be cancelled by tapping on the coloumn adjustment or on one of the scroll arrows, which always scroll page by page.

An alarm can be set with a precision of one second. But when the Palm is being switched off, the operating system checks only once a minute for pending alarms. So an alarm may be up to one minute late. All melodies for alarms are editable using the menu and the loudness is adjustable.

Update Description:
- An alarm can't be acknowledged or ignored any more by pressing one of the four keys.
- An error has been removed.

Great program! One possible addition would be to allow longer countdown timing than 9 hours. Could it be taken up to 99 hours?

Great little app that works well. I mainly wanted a countdown alarm and this app gives me more. The only thing I'd like improved is the ability to select the alarm sound rather than having the default. That feature would be excellent so that all the alarms could potentially have different sounds. Keep up the great work. I love it when programmers make small yet powerful apps.

This is a program with many simultaneous stopwatches. It's perfect for timing lots of stuff, how long you've left you car in the parking lot. I do experiments where I need a timer, and at the same time I also want to know how long my car has been parked, how long my airflight has taken etc etc. It works even when powered off because it really only records the starting time. You can label the clocks and reuse them for the same thing, or just fire them off in sequence. If you are the chairman at a conference or something, it's really nice to start a new clock for each speaker. Then you can see who spoke for too long, or short, and how the overall progress of the session is going. So simple, but perfect. If I was to suggest changes, (although this would increase the file size) it might be nice to be able to record the times into a small database and label it, like, times that it took to drive to work so you could see the longest and shortest trip times. But really, it's pretty good as it is.
