Windoff 5.0

Windoff is a system utility that allows you to preset the shut-down of your computer, take screenshots, as well as schedule alarms.

With this program, you can set the computer to shut down at a future moment, with the sole minor disadvantage of an upper time limit for the interval that you are able to make the program wait, namely 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The program further allows you to schedule taking screenshots. You may select a specific time for a screenshot to be taken, or make settings so that several screen shots are taken at preset intervals. In this manner, if you need to leave your computer running, while it finishes a certain task, and you wish it to then shut down by itself, the screenshots that the program will take would afterward display the progress of the task, even while you were away. In addition to this, Windoff also enables you to program alarms.

It is, nevertheless, disadvantageous that you are not able to select in advance the folder where screenshots are going to be saved, and that the program does not enable you to change the alarm sound from within the user interface, but only from the specific folder where the application is installed. Moreover, the "hide WindOFF when capture" option does not appear to work, which makes the program even less flexible in its options.

All in all, Windoff comes across as a utility that can fairly help you schedule shutting down your computer and taking screenshots, but which could use enhanced flexibility in the settings it allows users to customize.
