Cross-platform timer, allowing you to start/stop the timer in order to time a task for instance... Inspired by http://joaomoreno.github.io/thyme/

Chronographe

Description

This is a dead simple cross-platform task timer. Dead simple because it's a dead simple system-tray icon with a dead-simple context-menu which has only few actions (Start/Stop, Show timers, quit, ...).

You need to time your task? Nothing simplier, download the latest release, start it, right-click on the system-tray icon and choose your action. Be sure to read the "known bugs" not to be surprised. The options are implemented as ini files, an right-click action will reveal it.

If you find a bug, want a feature or want to implement a feature yourself, don't hesitate to open an issue on Github, I will see what I can do.

Finally, this app was an idea from @r8e9 who needed a dead simple task timer, like Thyme but cross-platform. So I made a fair-trade with @r8e9, I needed a scanned version of the physical monopoly game, we had a deal.

FAQ

Q) What does "dead-simple" spirit means ?

A) The "dead-simple app" spirit means this app aims to be dead simple and if you need more advanced options, try to ask it on github issues but not sure I will try to implement them. Usually, I do this because more advanced apps already exist on the market, and the idea is to simplify the needs not re-inventing the wheel ;)

Note:

First version written in ~14 hours... Don't stop on bugs and typo immediately please ;)

Have fun !
