Overview
What Countdown Alarm & Stopwatch does
To put a countdown timer with an alarm on a Stream Deck, add Countdown Alarm & Stopwatch, drag its Countdown key onto your Stream Deck and pick a time from 1 minute to 2 hours or your own up to 23:59:59: one press starts it, and every second shows on the key.
At zero it rings, shows a Windows notification and counts the overtime, like +15:00, until you press it, and it keeps the right time through PC sleep, page changes and Stream Deck restarts.

An alarm you will notice

How do I put a countdown timer with an alarm on my Stream Deck?
Add Countdown Alarm & Stopwatch, drag its Countdown key onto your Stream Deck and choose a time from 1 minute to 2 hours, or your own up to 23:59:59. Press the key to start; at zero it rings, shows a Windows notification and counts the overtime until you press it.
Does the timer keep the right time when my PC goes to sleep?
Yes. It keeps counting through PC sleep, page changes and Stream Deck restarts. If time ran out while the PC slept, it gives the alarm you set one time when you are back, and the notification says how long ago it ended.
Can I use my own alarm sound?
Yes. Pick a built-in sound or your own WAV file, set a volume for each key and use the Test sound button. The WAV file needs to be on a drive letter such as C: (a network drive mapped to a letter works).
Can I set the minutes with the dial on Stream Deck +?
Yes. On Stream Deck +, turn the dial to change the time 1 minute at a time, press it to start or pause, and hold it to reset.
Does it have a stopwatch too?
Yes. The Stopwatch key starts or stops with a press and goes back to 0 when you hold it. It keeps counting over sleep and restarts.
