The process of scheduling a system shutdown is not all that inviting, and it’s understandable that some users may find having to use the built-in Task Scheduler somewhat unintuitive. As is often the case on Windows, third-party tools can provide viable alternatives for almost anything, including scheduling system shutdowns.

Features:

• Simple system shutdown tool


• Visualization of remaining shutdown time with a campfire


• Set timer with the scroll wheel


• Pixel art-style for character


• Unique way of informing about shutdown timer


• A slightly playful nature

Technical Specifications:

• Name: Igni


• Price: FREE


• Developer: Lukylix


• File: igni-1.0.1-setup.exe


• Platform: Windows


• Shutdown method: System off

Functionality-wise, there’s really not much to Igni: it’s a simple shutdown timer app at its core. The implementation is a different matter, however, as the pixel art-style confers the app a great deal of character.

As stated earlier, the app really has a unique way of informing you about the shutdown timer. To start counting down, light the campfire: the longer the timer, the higher the flame’s intensity. As time inevitably starts counting down, so too will the flame lose its intensity to meet its demise.

That part was a little dramatic, but all will be well once it’s time for shutdown: you will be logged out, and your machine will be put to sleep.

If intuitiveness and a slightly playful nature are what you’re looking for in such a program, then Igni should be for you. At its core, it’s a simple system shutdown tool that employs a cool trick: to visualize the remaining time until shutdown, the app displays a campfire that slowly fizzles out.
