## What is Chimer?

Uninterrupted periodic nudge alarm app
- watch only app

Once you set timer, it chimes with intervals of set time. It works even on the background. You can check out the set time on the complications.
You can set number of repeats, the process of chimer times on the complications. when there is no number of repeats set, chimer goes infinitely.

• Please read the p.s. on description. because of Apple policies, I couldn't set them up in a comfy way by default.
• This app can't be used with Workout/Activity app since an Apple watch can have only one Work Session at the same time.

p.s. In case you don't like Chimer app opens on wrist raise, go to watch's settings -> General -> return to clock -> Chimer -> select customize and select always on "while not in session" then it won't pop up on wrist raise. It's unable to be turned off by default by Apple.

p.s. 2 Since this is an Apple watch only app, you can't install it on your iPhone's App store app. Please install this app through App store app on your apple watch. This is how Apple set up for its every watch stand-alone app

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-05-31*

Chimer is not a charmer. No receipt offered so can’t get refund. Bad advice from developer to download direct to watch, can’t control from phone to try to undo problem it causes on watch. Persistent app open at set up phase, can’t close. Looks ugly. Clunky utility, unclear how to use. When timer goes off the app is opens up in view and won’t go away. Timer can’t be synched to actual time of watch such as fifteen minutes starting on the hour. Can’t silence it for sleep. Dreadful product.

**Developer response:** I’m so sorry you had bad experience with my app. I’ve put instruction of installing it on App Store on watch is not that I like to make but it’s forced to be like that by Apple for EVERY STAND-ALONE WATCH APP. It’s not designed to set up the start time so sorry about that. It’s just for a simple nudge as time goes by. You can stop the timer by erasing time on the app. And I put p.s. of the app store description how to prevent app to be watch face all the time. I couldn’t programmatically stop it by default either because of Apple didn’t allow developers to do that while I use their workout session for the timer.

### 5/5 — 찾고 있던 앱이네요

*2024-05-04*

진작 개발되었어야 할 앱인데… 이제 나왔네요. 완전 딱입니다

**Developer response:** 감사합니다!
