Default Simple Windows timer app

Is there a good ten-minute free desktop timer app for Windows that you
already use and like?

Googling finds these

Rather than test every one, have you ALREADY done that search and found a
timer to your liking?

Which one do you use and like best?


I believe there's something built into Windows itself (Task Scheduler or
something like that)? However, I use System Scheduler
(https://www.splinterware.com/products/scheduler.html).

Like my answer to many such questions, I can't say it's the best - just
that it does what I want well enough that I've seen no reason to seek
further ones. It does pop-up reminders (what I use it most for), but can
also run things. The pop-up reminders have a snooze button (defaults to
five minutes but the time can be selected from a dropdown). Runs on XP
and 7 that I've tried, probably others too.

nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been
worth the while. - Liner notes, "Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer", Rhino
