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?
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.)
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.
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.
Can't recall an app like that but I'm willing to bet you can get a digital watch to do that
- ShowI 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/
Theres an app called "hourly reminder" on f-droid. First, you will have to install "f-droid" from their website.
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.

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
