+Timeboxer
+=========
+
+https://github.com/sweavo/Timeboxer
+
+Only-just-good-enough kitchen timer app. This seeks to get as close as possible to the simplicity of a mechanical kitchen timer.
+
+It has no pause, no options, no installer and three features: it counts down to zero, goes ping and stops. 
+
+It has two bonus features: it can be moved and it can be quit.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Put `Timeboxer.exe` somewhere on your machine.
+
+You're done.
+
+
+Operation
+---------
+
+Run `Timeboxer.exe`
+
+To move the timer, drag it using the left mouse.
+
+To set the time, use the right mousebutton to drag the sweep anywhere between 0 and 60m.  Release and the timer begins.
+
+To quit, right-double-click the face.
+
+To run multiple timers, run multiple instances of `Timeboxer.exe`
