As a popular T-shirt of late proclaims, "Time is an invention". While this may in fact be true, a number of computer users will find this small application a helpful way to manage their own time. Timeleft effectively acts as an alarm clock, a stopwatch, a timer and time synchronization utility. Perhaps the most compelling feature of Timeleft is that it can remind users before a specified event occurs so that they may plan accordingly. This version is compatible with Windows 95 or newer.
