Shortcuts

If you often create the same timers or scenarios, it will be useful for you to create shortcuts for them. You can set the parameters and assign hotkeys to quickly create concrete timers or scenarios.

Scheduler

You can schedule daily recurring tasks. They will be automatically added to the timer list on the selected weekdays and time.

'Timer or Scenario' field is filled in the same way as on the main window.

In 'Add at' field you can select time at which the countdown starts. Accordingly, this value must be less than the expiration time of the timer.
