AllOff turns your PC off when you're not using it
by Brad Linder Dec 12th 2008
AllOff keeps track of mouse and keyboard movements and CPU load. You can specify what counts as activity. For example, if you want to automatically shut down your computer if the CPU load has been under 5% for 15 minutes you can do that. Or if you want to shut it down when it's been under 30% for 5 minutes you can do that too, although I don't know why you'd want to, since it seems likely that your computer is still chugging away at whatever task you recently set it for.
This program could come in handy if you want to turn your computer off after it's done ripping a DVD, downloading a video, or doing some other task while you're away or asleep. You need to register for a license to use AllOff, but it's free for non-commercial use. For a registration free alternative, check out AMP WinOFF.
