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.
Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
I feel you. I guess what you need is a chime.
I used an hourly chimer app back when I was studying.

This sounds basic enough that you’d almost certainly be able to do this with Tasker. It’s not FOSS though (and a paid app).
There’s an app called Interval Timer on iOS.
I’ll leave figuring out what it does as an exercise for the reader
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.
Maybe you could try Pomodoro? It splits up your time into 25 min chunks, and then you take a break and decide what to do next.
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.
Automate by llamalabs well let you do this pretty easily
OpenHIIT is a workout timer I’ve used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.
Home Assistant will easily do this
