Timer widget for Windows

A countdown, a stopwatch with laps, and an interval timer for HIIT work, all in one tile. Save the durations you use repeatedly as presets so you are not dialling them in every time. The alert fires even when the dashboard is minimised to the tray, which is the point of a timer.
