Your phone already has an alarm clock. The problem is what happens when you
start putting game timers in it.
Your alarm list is something you check half asleep, to answer one question:
Is the morning alarm on? Add fourteen cooldowns and resets to it, and you are looking at a list at the worst possible hour. And when the same tone means both: "get up for work" and "the smelter is done", it slowly stops meaning either one. You train yourself to dismiss it. WpE Timer keeps all of that in its own app.
TWO SOUNDS, KEPT APART
One sound for alarms, one for timers. Any audio file on your phone. Each has
its own volume and its own vibration setting, so a timer can be a quiet nudge
while an alarm is loud enough to matter. Use the same file for both if you
prefer.
THIRTY SLOTS, PLUS SIX REPEATING
Thirty one-shot slots: a countdown when you know the duration, a date and
time when you know the moment. Six repeating slots in their own tab, hourly,
daily or on chosen weekdays. The repeating ones do not use up the thirty.
A LIST THAT SORTS ITSELF
Whatever fires next is always at the top. Six rows per page, arrows for the
rest. Countdowns are shown in monospace so the numbers do not jitter as they tick, and the colour tells you how close it is at a glance.
A FLOATING ROW OVER YOUR GAME
Optional. One small draggable line showing only the next timer and its
remaining time. Tap to open the app, long-press to hide it. It shows one
thing, not six, because you are playing a game and not reading a dashboard.
BUILT TO ACTUALLY GO OFF
Exact alarms, not approximate ones. Alarms are re-armed after a reboot before you even unlock the phone. A ringing alarm takes over the screen instead of waiting as a notification. Snooze and a ring timeout are both configurable. There is a permissions page that tells you in plain words whether the app is actually allowed to do these things, because an alarm clock that quietly cannot do its job is the worst kind.
COMPLETELY OFFLINE
The app does not have permission to use the internet. Not a promise, a
technical fact you can see in the permission list. No account, no sync, no
analytics, no ads. Your timers are stored on your phone, and nowhere else, and uninstalling removes them.
NO GAME INTEGRATION, ON PURPOSE
It does not read your screen, hook into any game, or ship a database of
respawn times that goes stale after the next patch. You type the name and the time. That is why it works for the games you have played for years, the game you picked up last week, and the one that launches next month.
A small app that does one thing, stays out of the way, and keeps your real
alarm clock clean.
Timers and alarms for your games, kept out of your real alarm clock.
