Chris Dziemborowicz

Chris Dziemborowicz is an independent Windows developer who focuses on creating lightweight, single-purpose utilities that strip away clutter and deliver one clear function with precision. The publisher’s catalog is anchored by Hourglass, a minimalist countdown timer designed for anyone who needs to box time for the Pomodoro technique, kitchen tasks, exercise intervals, meeting reminders, or coding sprints without the overhead of a full productivity suite. The program lives in the system tray, accepts natural-language input such as “25 minutes” or “2:30 pm,” and loops or auto-restarts on demand, making it equally useful for classroom timing, billable-hour tracking, or reheating yesterday’s coffee. Because the executable is portable and consumes only a few megabytes, it appeals to power users who keep a USB toolkit of trusted utilities, as well as to office workers whose IT departments restrict the installation of larger applications. Hourglass can be scripted through command-line switches, so batch files and automation engines can trigger silent timers that pop up, play a custom WAV, or shut the workstation down when elapsed. The interface respects Windows 10 and 11 dark themes, offers global hotkeys, and exports session logs to CSV for later analysis. Chris Dziemborowicz’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest release, and support the batch deployment of multiple applications across machines.
