ShutdownIt

ShutdownIt is a small software application developed specifically for helping you perform shutdown-related tasks, such as log off, restart, or hibernate, with the aid of a countdown timer. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

The tool is portable so it does not require any kind of installation process on the target computer. A double-click on the executable file is all you need to do in order to gain access to the configuration panel.

You may open it without having administrative privileges. Since it does not store entries in your Windows registry and leave other setup files behind, you can uninstall it by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

ShutdownIt reveals a minimalist design that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters with the aid of a multi-tabbed environment. A help manual is not included in the package, but you can venture into tweaking the dedicated parameters on your own because they look easy to work with.

The application offers you the possibility to set up several automatic actions, namely shut down or restart the computer, log off the current user, hibernate, trigger an alarm, or open a custom program.

You can activate these automatic actions at a certain date and time value or configure a countdown timer by specifying the number of hours, minutes, and seconds. Plus, a forced mode can be turned on in order to make sure the actions are carried out successfully.

What’s more, you can start or stop the countdown timer, check out the current and estimated time, show or hide the current time and left time, reveal a progress bar in the main window, adjust the size of the font, display warnings before performing an automatic task, and play custom sound notifications (WAV file format).

ShutdownIt comes bundled with several useful options for helping you shut down your PC or carry out another related task using an automatic mode. It can be tweaked by less experienced users and professionals alike.
