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.

OpenHIIT is a workout timer I’ve used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.
Any app that you can setup Macros with. I use Macrodroid on Playstore.
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.
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.
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

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? It’s on F-droid.
I’ll check it out
funny thing is recently I was toying with the thought to create an app exactly like this, to signal 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with one, two, three and (four + hour of day) beeps, just like a church/temple bell or grandfather clock…
but I don’t know if it exists already.
Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.
Reminds me of the character White Rose from Mr. Robot. Here’s the introduction scene.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
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.
A fitness interval timer app may work for this purpose.

I think I found the one, some app I tried is developed like 7 years ago then I found this which last updated in Feb 2023here’s the link: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.axet.hourlyreminder/
For this kind of thing, I use Godot and write a quick and ugly one-off app. That way it works exactly how I imagine and I just send myself the APK over messenger and install it :P
Although it would be a joy to implement in hardware.
I hate how large the apk files are
I never actually noticed. It’s always been like 25MB for stuff I do. Is that a lot?
Takes a huge amount of storage on my production machine to store the various libraries to produce that file, to be fair. That is a minor pain.
For having an empty scene with nothingness. Ye. Thats too much.
Another one commented that its 160kb for a native app. So damn. I guess I need to learn how to do native then.
But generally scrolling through F-Droid, I see many useful apps that are below 10mb or even below 5mb with many features. Which is why I see Godot apk files as too large. But yeah, its a game engine for games. With a good UI designing feature too.
OK, fair enough! I did not know that the size varied so much. I’ll probably still keep using it though – the Python-esque syntax means I don’t have to learn a bunch of stuff I don’t have the time to right now, and I’m very bad at UI, so it’s a good solution for me :)
Incidentally, a lot of my best apps are very small as well. Under 1k usually (AVR Assembly).
25MB… Is that a lot?
Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.
For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.
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.
