They say time is is the most valuable resources. Right now, time feels quicker for me these days and I often lose track of it.

Because of that the app should have the same purposes as an old clock, it plays a little “ding” or a notification every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour, or as long as I like.

Preferably installable with f-droid, can I have an app recommendation.

Clock app, make a 30 minute timer, reset when it goes off. Why do you need a whole app for that?

He wants a notification— note, no input required to end it.

Not the OP, but I used to work at a retail job where we couldn’t touch our phones or have them out visible. There was no clock around either so having my phone speak the time aloud from my pocket every 30 minutes helped me get through the day until the shift ended.

Also automating this would remove the element of imperfect human functioning. If you had to open up your phone and press snooze every 30 minutes, that takes a few seconds or minutes if you’re busy, and then the timer would start to lag behind and no longer be in sync with a clock’s time and thus lose its utility. And how exhausting would it be to keep on top of that task for 16 hours every single day without any mistakes allowed ever? My ADHD brain is getting anxiety just thinking about managing that.

Set an alarm in your clock app, repeat forever

He wants a ding, not a responses required alarm.

They asked for an app for their phone, you suggested setting up a home server and hosting an application on it, all to just send a notification every 30 mins

That’s not particularly helpful

Gotta live and have fun too. I’m pretty sure anyone can see it’s not helpful. I’m sure anyone can see I’m just having a laugh. It’s an easy “move on” scenario. Or… I could get all upset.

You can setup a countdown timer for 30 mins and restart it every time.
