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.
Calendar. Recurring event every 30 minutes with a notification at start.
the shortest google calendar could reoccur an event is 1 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.
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.
You can setup a countdown timer for 30 mins and restart it every time.
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).
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.
I use Due on iOS for repeating timers/reminders where I need it to be persistent and annoying because the task is important. Like paying rent, or physical therapy “homework” I kept forgetting. The persistence might be good if you’re worried you’ll just dismiss a normal alarm or forget to start the next timer.
OpenHIIT is a workout timer I’ve used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.
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/
Home Assistant will easily do this
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.
