The main approach of the app is an ability to exclude a user password timeout time from the calculated total.

It revolutionizes the way your computer starts up by displaying an accurate countdown timer telling you how many seconds longers you have to wait before the computer is ready. The app is simple, easy, and intuitive, and is free for non-commercial use.

BootRacer’s estimates are accurately based on your computer’s previous startup events, so you’ll know exactly how much time you have to wait before you can start working.
