It can sometimes be useful to have a method of stopping playback in various media players at specific times. snooze is a lightweight and easy-to-use application that can stop video or audio files from being played in certain programs, based on a preset timer.

When the timer reaches the specified value, any media being played in the selected application is automatically stopped.

The application offers a simple interface that takes up a very low amount of screen space. It can be minimized to the system tray, allowing you to carry out important tasks while the timer runs in the background.

It is easy-to-use, as its functions are conveniently accessible and simple to understand.
