FXTimer

<---- Take me back to the projects page...

Take me straight to the downloads!

FXTimer is a lightweight and simple timer+stopwatch program I made using C++ and the FOX toolkit. It is designed for UN*X based systems.

I wasn't a big fan of how other programs were either using heavy toolkits like GTK4 or were overly complicated, and I didn't want to rely on Google for this job. :p

So I made this small user-friendly program, FXTimer.

Functions

• A simple timer and stopwatch
• Ability to add notes to both the timer and stopwatch
• Record time intervals in the stopwatch

Note: the program uses your system bell repeatedly to indicate the timer has completed. If you disabled your PC speaker and you have not set up your system bell, the program won't notify you.
