kpad comes in handy if: - You set the same timer every day - You need a simple way to run multiple timers at once No ads, no need to register and login. No unrelated notifications too, you only get notified when your timers go off. kpad gives you a panel with a fixed grid where you can place up to 12 timers. By combining timers' positions and colors, you can create an easily memorable layout suited just for you. For example, let's say you drink mint tea every day. You can create a green timer button, place it in the top right corner of the app, and it'll be quickly accessible whenever you need it.
