Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes?

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.

It seems Tasks.org let's you set reminders on tasks that can repeat every minute (if you go to the custom option). Maybe have a play with that?

I'll check it out

Can't recall an app like that but I'm willing to bet you can get a digital watch to do that

MajorHavoc ,

Yeah. When I was trying to cultivate this kind of mindfulness, I used my wristwatch.

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.

The iPhone built in timer app could be used this way, I’d imagine that the functionality would be similar on android.

People using the Pomodoro technique use apps like that. That's usually 25 minutes, 5 minute break, repeated 4 times, then a 30 minute break. This is apparently a popular Android one but there are others for Windows, Chrome, MacOs, I assume Linux and more for Android as well.

Clock app set many alarms

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

If the others suggested aren’t quite right for you, you might try looking for an interval timer app. These are generally used for fitness, but it seems to me that type of setup might do exactly what you want if you just set up a “workout” that has a single 30 min interval and repeats.

ObsidianZed ,

OpenHIIT is a workout timer I've used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.

You could try a ship’s bell app, there are a bunch out there. They chime every half hour

This could be it, do you know the software's name on f-droid?

Set an alarm in your clock app, repeat forever

He wants a ding, not a responses required alarm.

I feel you. I guess what you need is a chime.

I used an hourly chimer app back when I was studying.

This is what I could find. Hope this helps.

juliebean ,

i can't personally recommend it, as i just found it, but 'mindful notifier' on f-droid appears to do what you're looking for.

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.

Automate by llamalabs well let you do this pretty easily
