A simple UWP countdown app for Windows 10/11.
Lecture Countdown is a must-have countdown app for students.
Does this sound familiar: You have been sitting in class for hours, are exhausted, and just want to head home already? Lecture Countdown is there to help you stay motivated! Keep it up and remain concentrated till the end! With the Lecture Countdown app, you can always see exactly how much longer the lecture will last - and how much time has already passed.
- Always on Top mode
- See how much time has already passed
- Progress visualization in percent
- Notification when countdown is over
- Theme support (Dark/Light)
To build the app from source, follow these instructions.
- Visual Studio 2022 with the UWP Development Kit
To build and run the project, open the .sln file in Visual Studio, set LectureCountdownApp as the startup project (via right-click menu in in the solution explorer) and press F5 on the keyboard.
