booper: timed reminders

booper is an app to help you organize your time, be more productive, and remind yourself of the things you need to do. Get customizable notifications when you need them, or create a sequence of timed events and see its progress on the pattern display. Useful for reminders, study sessions, music practice, exercise, cooking, organizing your work, self–improvement, or just feeling the pulse of time...


Features
• Get configurable alerts with optional sound and vibration patterns. Create obvious notifications, or subtle silent boops only you can feel
• Simple Quick Boop feature to quickly set a repeating alert
• Custom patterns let you create sequences of events, to make more complex alert patterns or organize blocks of time
• Add descriptions to events, to create notes or include helpful instructions
• Progress display showing where you are in the pattern, with switchable elapsed/remaining displays
• Accessibility–friendly design


booper is useful for lots of things, including:
• Time management — divide it up and stick to a plan
• Get a regular reminder to drink water
• Work or study more effectively with timed breaks
• Set a constant rhythm to exercise to, or perform CPR at the recommended rate
• Create music practice routines, broken into exercise blocks
• Need to keep checking on something? Avoid forgetting by running a repeating boop until you're done
• Create staged timers for cooking and recipes. The progress display stays on by default, so you can keep your hands free
• On a self–improvement kick? Improving your posture, or trying to be more mindful? A regular reminder could help you stick to it and develop good habits
• Set out timed exercise routines with useful notes. Create an interval training pattern that suits you, or just give yourself something to stick to and improve against
• Look like you're paying attention in that big meeting with a regular, secret vibration boop. "Oh uh... I agree, good idea!"
• Time is a mystery — feel it passing with a regular pulse


Note
booper is designed to be efficient, and only run in the background when necessary — some devices and power–saving apps can interfere with this, and prevent background apps from running on time, or even at all. If you're seeing any issues, please check that booper isn't being restricted by these settings. You can get advice for many devices at https://dontkillmyapp.com
