Our most popular freeware, TinyTask provides quick & easy automation by recording / playback. It is a case study in minimalist programming: the entire program is only 32k -- and over 14k are graphics, which means the executable portion is very small and efficient. It is used as the test harness for the "Recording" feature of vTask Studio. New: now includes an EXE compiler! Turn your recordings into standalone programs. If you were stranded on a deserted island, this is the one program you would want. There's no installer, required files, or anything unnecessary; just a tiny program, which doesn't touch your registry or system folders. Enjoy!  Download (32k)

TimerTask will perform a job at a specified time. This provides simple task scheduling and reminders. You can set an exact time, such as 9:15 or 3:00 PM, or also set a duration of minutes, such as 30. When the desired time arrives, TimerTask can show a notification message, start a program/document, launch a website, logoff, or shutdown the PC. This is all stuffed into a program that is only 8k in size -- a world record for a GUI scheduling utility. TimerTask was created to validate serial time calculations in vTask. Download (8k)

QwikMark provides fast and easy benchmarking. Many excellent benchmark tools already exist, but QwikMark is unique because it tests everything on a single screen. It was used to test Hardware commands for vTask Studio. As with all benchmarking utilities, hardware performance measurements are an inexact science, however QwikMark closely matches results from industry standards like CPU-Z, SiSoftware Sandra, and Atto. The download is just a single file, no supporting files are required. Download (84k)
