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.
Set an alarm in your clock app, repeat forever
Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.
Clock app, make a 30 minute timer, reset when it goes off. Why do you need a whole app for that?
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.
This sounds like the Pomodoro technique… There are a lot of apps for that.
It sorta is a pomodoro, I’ve been using Pomofocus.io for a while for desktop so I don’t lose track of time. Though majority of my time I didn’t spend on a desktop so, a mobile app that also less resourceful could be more useful.
My watch buzzes me if I haven’t stood up for an hour. Not what you’re looking for but the only other thing I can think of is an alarm app that you can set to snooze for half an hour as many times as you see fit. I would guess something like that might exist.
Calendar. Recurring event every 30 minutes with a notification at start.
That’s why you schedule 96 of them. (Please don’t do that - there has to be a better way.)
