Maybe you only fall asleep while watching a movie or TV show. If this is done on a computer, chances are it remains active over night and uses a lot of power. You can avoid this situation by using specialized applications like ShutDownOnTime, which can trigger more power options than just turning the PC off.

Set actions for every day of the week

Once installed, the configuration window shows up so you can define when an action to trigger, and what this represents. The visual design is nothing to make it stand out from the crowd, but this doesn’t mean accommodation is rocket science. Quick access is provided to the main set of controls, general options, as well as statistics, which serve well on the long run.The application can be configured to trigger every day of the week. There’s a small week calendar in a panel, and selecting a day lets you set up a new configuration to meet different demands. Note that the activation state is available for all days, but you can choose to take no action to prevent accidental shutdown.

Advanced set of time and power options

In terms of available power options, the application can power off the PC, switch to hibernate mode, standby, reboot, or log off. As mentioned, it’s also possible to take no action. Additionally, you can choose to execute a custom file right before the action is triggered, which works well if no power option is selected.The application can also performed a forced shut down, but be sure to have your work saved. On the other hand, you can set a timeout in seconds so you get the chance to save, or cancel an operation. An administrator lock mode can be set, and you can even assign hotkey commands to available power options.
