1# E-Tech Timer 2 3**This project is no longer under development. You can see the [archived project on Codeplex](https://web.archive.org/web/20171224070450/http://etechtimer.codeplex.com/) (December 2017) for more information and documentation (downloads do not work though). You can download E-Tech Timer v5.0 from this repository [here](/timer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/E-Tech%20Timer%20Setup%20v5.exe).** 4 5E-Tech Timer was an open source stopwatch and countdown timer for Windows, written in VB.Net. It was designed to be simple, extremely functional, and easy to use. The project had over 4,500 downloads all-time, and was given positive reviews by several software review websites. 6 7I worked on E-Tech Timer from 2012 to 2015. The last release was v5.0 on 12 January 2015, which you can still download [here](/timer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/E-Tech%20Timer%20Setup%20v5.exe) ([release notes](https://web.archive.org/web/20171225065913/http://etechtimer.codeplex.com/releases/view/599048)). I've since moved onto other projects and won't be spending any more time on this. When Codeplex shut down in 2017, I chose not to transition the project to another platform, so this repository serves as an archive of the code and releases for historical purposes. There is no commit history because I originally used Subversion and haven't migrated everything over to Git. 8 9Below is the [homepage of E-Tech Timer](https://web.archive.org/web/20171224070450/http://etechtimer.codeplex.com/) as it stood on 24 December 2017. 10 11<hr /> 12<h2 style="text-align:center"><strong>The simple, free and open source timer for Windows.</strong></h2> 13<h2 style="text-align:center"><a href="/timer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/E-Tech%20Timer%20Setup%20v5.exe"><strong>Download version 5.0 now.</strong></a></h2> 14<div style="text-align:center"><a href="/timer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/E-Tech%20Timer%20Setup%20v5.exe"><strong><img src="/timer.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/screenshot.png" alt="" width="650" height="286" /></strong></a></div> 15<p>It's the stopwatch and countdown timer that Microsoft forgot.
