countDown Extension

QUICK START:
I'm working on an improved input system, but for now a quick start for how to use the current one:
You can use the mouse scroll wheel, just point to the right time field and scroll the wheel up/down to adjust the value (ddd hh:mm:ss).
You can also use the keyboard by directly typing the desired time. First click on one of the timers (anywhere beside notes) and input your time.
Examples:
To set 15 minutes: 15. or 1500 (00:15:00)
To set 72 hours (3 days): 72.. or 3... (3 00:00:00)
To set 3 hours and 45 minutes: 345. or 3.45. (03:45:00)
To set 90 seconds (1:30): 90 or 1.30 (00:01:30)

Fixes:
* Fixed keyboard input not registering

Features:
* Tricky input (still working on it)
* (new ) TTS for notes
* (new) Shortcuts on badge timer
* (new) Options to set different sound alarms and volume
* (new) Notification alert (optional)
* (new) Multiple colour themes
* Multiple timers
* High range of spans with up to several years
* Count up like stopwatch (to start, set the timer from 00:00:00)
* Optimised for extensive use
* Display timer one the icon badge
* Set and navigate the timers with keyboard
* Set timer with scroll wheel
* Custom notes for each countdown

P.S. Rate the extension and spread the word to encourage the developer (me) to dedicate more time in implementing more features.

Sam H (ID: 00000080f483f005) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/11/2024 This is the ACTUAL countdown and countup timer you're looking for. Not some BS timelogging extension for employers. It's very simple and easy to use. Displays the timer over the extension icon in the browser itself and has a few other options/features. If this extension was a person, I'd let my daughter date it.

Александр (ID: 00000099c0e18e5e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/25/2024 Удобный таймер. Есть настройки времени, 7 разных звонков, громкость звонка. Можно настроить несколько таймеров. Оставшееся время всегда видно на иконке. Супер!

Sadman Hossain (ID: 00000035b16c0a05) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2023 EDIT: The developer for this extension is amazing! They updated it to make keyboard input work again in less than a day; this is absolutely an extension that you should consider using, I use it literally everyday. I absolutely LOVE this extension but recently keyboard input has stopped working, which is a massive deal breaker for me. However, I know that the dev is actively working to fix the issue (I can confirm that version 4.1.2 does NOT fix keyboard input; the only way to change timer values remains to be scrolling), and for that I have to give this 5 stars, because I know that they listen to their users and I trust that they will be able to fix the issue and continue to support this extension for years to come. Consistent extension support is difficult to come by, even amongst many popular extensions (that have often had their last update years ago), so this gesture of solidarity means a lot to me.
