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.

My comment won’t be anything helpful, there are some propositions already.
I just want to give my thought and maybe rant a little, because my Linux nerd mind is screaming to me how this could be done on Linux:In crontab:
*/30 7-16 * * 1-5 notify-send "Text"Sending a notification every 30 minutes from monday to sunday from 7am to 4pm with one line of code not needing to create new app.
Neat… I Appreciate this
Can’t recall an app like that but I’m willing to bet you can get a digital watch to do that
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.
Clock app set many alarms
You can setup a countdown timer for 30 mins and restart it every time.
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?
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.
Self hosted n8n instance. Tie it to everything. Live the dream. Automate everything
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
Cuckoo Hourly Chime - A Clock App with Customizable Sounds and Speaking Time
Cuckoo Hourly Chime is an Android application developed by Dev Technosoft that functions as a clock app with customizable sounds and speaking time. The app is categorized under Lifestyle and is available for free.
This clock app offers a variety of features such as more than 10 inbuilt sounds that play every half and full hour, including the option to speak time with a custom title. Users can also choose the hours-only option, wake the screen to stop the chime, and stop the app from the notification bar.
ohhhhhh, I didn’t download the app itself but it makes me search cuckoo in f-droid, and what do you know there is one

I use Due on iOS for repeating timers/reminders where I need it to be persistent and annoying because the task is important. Like paying rent, or physical therapy “homework” I kept forgetting. The persistence might be good if you’re worried you’ll just dismiss a normal alarm or forget to start the next timer.
Any app that you can setup Macros with. I use Macrodroid on Playstore.
Probably called cockoo clock or pomodoro timer, or interval timer. A quick search shows there are multiple such apps, I haven’t tried them so I’m not sure which to recommend.
I like Galarm, it’s an alarm app that lets you set any interval you want to repeat, and you can set it to only occur during certain times. I have an alarm that goes off every two hours from 8:30am-8:30pm, for example.
Calendar. Recurring event every 30 minutes with a notification at start.
the shortest google calendar could reoccur an event is 1 day
That’s why you schedule 96 of them. (Please don’t do that - there has to be a better way.)
The lads at Google looking at the data gathered on someone with 48 appointments every day:
Hmm. That is disappointing.
Edit: what if you had a daily event with reminders every 30 minutes. You’d have to manually add the reminders, but you would only have to do that once and it’d still be one event.
That’s what I’d do, but I’d make sure:
- I could hide the events in my calendar so I could still see the real events I want to keep track of, or
- to use a different calendar for this particular thing, or
- to assign them their own colour which I can easily ignore.
