But then don’t you have to set it to a precise time on the clock each time you use it, rather than “30 min in the future”, for example? The issue for me is timers that I set often, like while cooking. Seems like a minor annoyance maybe but I use them while cooking and entertaining especially, AKA having my attention severely split already lol, additional complexity is to be avoided
Yes it doesn’t really work for cooking or tasks where you need to be precise, but then snoozing wouldn’t work anyway since 10 min would be too long for most occasions. However you can use your assistant on your phone to set precise alarms. Just say “Hey Google/Siri set an alarm for 12 minuts for the pizza” and it should set an alarm instead of a timer.
I just have a few generic alarms on my phone i keep changing for whenever i need them. They dont repeat weekly on Android automatically so they are like single use. I also do also have weekly repeating timers for remembering stuff like trash bins or groceries delivery.
Use alarms and snooze them instead giving you 10 min until it rimgs again. Repeat until task is done
