TECHNICAL DETAILS

    This application was developed using Visual Studio 2022 targeting .NET 4.7.2
    framework. The first version used Visual Studio 2019, but it was migrated
    for the subsequent 2.0 version.

    This application uses "DSEG7 Classic-Bold" font by Keshikan, which is used
    for the countdown digits.

    This application comes as a single executable and does not require
    connection to the network; it does not create registry entries; and it
    does not collect any telemetry. It is just a Timer application.
