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.

I think I found the one, some app I tried is developed like 7 years ago then I found this which last updated in Feb 2023

here’s the link: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.axet.hourlyreminder/

funny thing is recently I was toying with the thought to create an app exactly like this, to signal 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with one, two, three and (four + hour of day) beeps, just like a church/temple bell or grandfather clock…

but I don’t know if it exists already.

Or… Hear me out…

Use the default built-in alarm.

Why? Most of the non-built are somewhat blocked by phone notification controls such as do-not-disturb and other similar modes. Getting an app that has its implementation of this just right can be frustrating…

Just put a bunch of 30 min interval alarm, with a slight different ringtone than your usual alarms and you’ll be golden :)

I’d say that could interfere with sleep, but instead of an alarm on repeat he could just have 32 timers set, allowing for 8 hours of sleep. (24-8)*16

It’s not on F-Droid, but I use BlipBlip for this exact thing. It’s an old app sadly, but still works on Android 14. There’s a ton of customization options which you might find useful.

On my google pixel 5 with android 14 it says “this app is too old for your device”. Maybe it just works because you installed it before upgrading or something?

A fitness interval timer app may work for this purpose.
