Shut Down

Shut Down is a minimalis automatic shutdown scheduler that supports five power options and offers a delay of a maximum of 24 hours. Having this tool in your bag slightly boosts the remote power management of your PC.

Coming as a portable package, Shut Down not only keeps your drive as clean as possible, but it speeds up the whole operation. Pair that with a USB stick, and you've got yourself a pocket shutdown timer.

Interface-wise, the app uses a Windows 10-themed background with success. Start scheduling your power options by choosing the main operation represented by actions like shutdown, restart, hibernate, log off and sleep. Follow that up by adjusting the delay slider. One can set the operation's timer to a minimum of 5 minutes or a maximum of 24 hours.

Adjusting the slider can be done manually with the mouse, or by adding or deducting segments of 5 or fifteen minutes. When everything is ready, just click the central Start button. In case your OS has power option issues and the normal operation does not work properly, you can couple the Force feature with any of the operations, resulting in a forced shutdown, forced restart, and so on.

A predefined setting is a shortcut to a specific combination between an operation and a delay interval. Create one by adjusting the manual settings, then clicking the + button. You can have as many predefined entries as you wish, and can erase them at will. How do they help? By reducing the interaction with the app to one click.

In summary, Shut Down is a simple tool for individuals with a need to schedule their machine's power options. It comes with an average delay time, yet the predefined settings pull the app upward by allowing the user to schedule a shutdown with one click only.
