Therefore, it facilitates quick access to its options while letting you carry on with your normal desktop activity without any interruptions.

View elapsed time and configure settings

The time spent since the last Windows boot time is automatically detected and displayed in the main window at startup, showing the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds.You can show time in the window caption, along with the elapsed days and hours in the taskbar icon, make the frame stay on top of other windows, and integrate the tool into the autostart sequence, so it gets launched by default every time you turn on your computer. These properties can be hidden from display.
