Timer guides
Install, safety, first-run, and migration notes for a local Windows timer setup. Start with winget or the portable exe, then keep one update door. These pages support the same offline countdown habit without Softonic mirrors.
Windows readers should prefer winget id VladElaina.Catime or catime_*.exe on GitHub Releases. Scoop extras and Chocolatey also publish catime when those tools already manage the machine. Brew is not available for this Windows-only project.
Each guide ends with related doors so a teammate can find releases, download-safe habits, and the first-hour checklist without inventing a second binary. Upstream bugs belong on vladelaina/Catime issues, while guide corrections belong on the contact page.
Classroom images should pin the exact install door beside the OS version. After every reimage, prove one short countdown before you call the machine ready. That habit catches vanished portable folders and adware shortcuts that reappear from old bookmark exports.
Users who already live in browser countdown tabs can keep that path on locked accounts. Treat the Windows portable or winget id as the windowed path for teammates who need a named Releases asset. The two can share habits when the room documents which path is official for demos.
Travel laptops benefit from a single documented installer door written beside the folder that holds the portable. Lab images drift when someone installs a second mirror during a blocked SmartScreen prompt. Prefer returning to the same Releases URL instead of inventing a new download mid-flight.
After you finish an install page, prove one short countdown before you build preset libraries. Document whether winget, Scoop, Chocolatey, or the portable exe owns the machine. That note prevents duplicate installs after a reimage and keeps classroom images honest.
