    PROS: Simple and easy to use. Application doesn’t require any advanced computer skills. The app can be used to control when your computer turns on/off. The app comes with a reminder feature which is quite handy.
    CONS: Application lacks customizable features. In some instances shut down/restart actions may not be executed. The application can, from time to time, cause your system to slow down. Requires a 64-bit operating system to be used.
  3. PROS: Easy to use. 20 different clock styles. 24-hour format option. Accurate and compact.
    CONS: Doesn't always remember position. Window priority fails on some devices. Options can be tricky to change. Small CPU overhead.
  4. PROS: Easy to use. Realistic visuals. A range of alarm sounds. Customizable snooze time.
    CONS: Doesn’t let you set multiple alarms. Turn-off button is difficult to see from a distance. Fullscreen mode UI could be better. Requires a 64-bit processor.
  5. PROS: Flexibility: you decide how long your breaks last. Useful for self-discipline and accountability for tasks needing to get done. Dark mode means no worries about it being too distracting. Takes up very little space on your device.
    CONS: Timer flexibility can be twofold; you could cheat by taking longer breaks. No option to track total working hours for the day. Probably not worth price if you already have other timers. Doesn't track how many breaks you've taken.
  6. PROS: This application will display on all desktops. The transparency can be adjusted. The current date will be displayed alongside the time. Highly realistic displays.
    CONS: The clock can only be moved after a double click. Some icons are more detailed than others. Certain users wish that more data could be displayed. The size of the clock cannot be changed.

    PROS: Setting up the clocks takes less than five minutes. Convenient for people who work with different time zones. Display as many as ten clocks in your taskbar. Doesn’t prevent your computer from going into sleep mode.
    CONS: The icons and flags look dated. You cannot add specific cities. The instructions on use are severely lacking. There is no hide option or menu-only option.

    PROS: Track time across a variety of different devices. Supports time tracking for both individuals and teams. Includes dark and light themes. Searching and archiving features make finding historical data easier.
    CONS: Tyme iOS app for mobile devices is a separate purchase. While some features are free, arguably the most useful ones are locked behind a paywall. Lacks the depth of features of more established competitors. Features like mileage tracking and expenses feel out of place.
  12. PROS: Simple and minimalistic. Easy to customize. Visualization options (such as pie charts). Smooth notifications.
    CONS: Blue font is jarring. Layouts could be better. No subcategories option. Downloading work history can be a hassle.

    CONS: Using Chronoslings needs AppleScript knowledge. Maybe a bit too basic. Could crash at times. Accessing certain features requires some digging in.
