XNote Stopwatch is a software timer, stopwatch and count down timer (Countdown Timer) that can be installed on a PC. XNote Stopwatch can run on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1 operating systems. This software is very useful for time keepers in sports competitions, athlete endurance training, work time tracking, or even as a metronome.

I myself use this app for endurance in rock climbing training, so when the time is up, the alarm will sound. Audio can be changed according to taste. In addition, it can also be used for judging during a race or competition that requires time calculation. Where the automatic time recording results are directly inputted in Microsoft Excel, so we don't need to type the time record results manually. In addition, the time display can also be displayed on the monitor screen so that the time calculation can be more transparent.
Here are the features of XNote:
  • As a timer display that can be resized according to the monitor resolution. You can also customize the color, font, transparency, etc.

  • Stopwatch mode and countdown timer mode: When the timer reaches zero, it can sound an alert signal, play audio files, run apps, and even command external devices.

  • Ability to capture chronograph time at any time (split time feature). The interval of the recorded time and the percentage of the previous weight are calculated (lap time feature). You can add comments to each time recording. The entire list of results can be copied via the clipboard for further processing.

  • Some stopwatches and timers with their own settings and run independently of each other.
  • Save and load timing sessions including all recorded results: This feature is especially useful when timing in multiple stages or sessions.
  • Ability to set custom time. This means that you can rewind the chronograph backwards or forwards.
  • System-wide, user redefinable hotkeys: You can start, stop, reset the stopwatch/timer, and snap time from within any application even if the XNote Stopwatch window is not visible at the moment. You can also customize the keyboard keys used for command execution.
  • External control via serial COM port (RS-232): You can start, stop, reset the chronometer, and snap the time with simple on/off switches, photocells, and even RFID-tag readers for accurate timekeeping.

Despite its many features, the XNote Stopwatch is small in size (-+230 KiB) Xnote Stopwatch has a low system resource requirement, and a fast execution speed. Xnote Stopwatch has a portable version and a version that is installed on a computer. For those interested, please download the file directly on the official website.
