The max is 30 minutes.

Who could possibly want to set a timer longer than that?

They should just use a slider

It’s snooze length. If you’re setting a snooze length more than 30 minutes you should probably just set a new alarm

To be fair, this is for setting the duration of the snooze button for your alarms, not a timer. Most people would set it once and never touch it again. Anyone snoozing for more than 30 minutes is a psycho that hates sleeping anyway.

I want a roulette option. When I have a nine minute snooze and I know it, I’m just tired and anxious waiting for it. If I don’t know how long it’s going to be I won’t stress over it. Go back to sleep and hope for the best. Set a 25min max so I can still panic shower my way into being on time.

You could also set your alarm 25 minutes later (or whenever you need to) and waking up at that time without snoozing it. The sleep quality would probably be even a lot better than the one from the snoozeroulette. Snoozing just makes you wake-up earlier than you should.

Snoozing is never a good choice by plan, I agree. It’s a special weapon against the tyranny of the alarm that gives the brief illusion of winning. Its to be used sparingly of course, but it’s all we’ve got.

I understand that it’s not possible for everybody (though it should) but regular and long enough sleep will allow you to wake up without even needing an alarm.

This can be difficult during your studies with irregular schedule (and too many parties) or some jobs with irregular working hours. But generally if you wake-up everyday at the same time to go to work and you had enough sleep, you will be awake when your alarm rings.

My old workplace’s timecard system used dropdowns for hours and minutes for every day. Took like 10 minutes to fill out for the week. It was awful.

Couldn’t you just tab write_number tab write_number?

Like you could do here

Remember when Google hired brilliant, talented engineers to build quality products?

Those were the days.

Was that ever a thing? The original Gmail design was pretty terrible. Then when they overhauled the design, and unified it with other Google product designs there was uproar. People rarely seem satisfied with UI design

Yeah because they didn’t hire designers. Just engineers.

Most engineers think that something is extravagant if it contains colours other than grey and dull blue. Also what even is tab indexing?

Mine isn’t like that. Google clock on pixel 7 Pro.

Edit: mines like that. It’s the snooze time you set in settings that apply to all alarms.

Honestly makes sense to do it this way. Pick your exact time limited to 30 minutes. Set it once and forget it.

Op is just farming for outrage.

Its a small thing but google is the example for most people. This is bad ui.
