Cues can be created for all kinds of purposes, including: - Fitness/Workout Routines (Interval Timers) - Productivity (Pomodoro Timers) - Meditation/Breathing Techniques - Basic Food Preparation - Presentation Practice Need to multitask with Cue In the background? While a Cue is active, you can also toggle the Notification Bell to enable/disable notifications for when a new timer starts, if you are away from Cue It. If you want to stick to a schedule, you can also set timed reminders to perform a Cue at a later time - either for a specific time and date, or repeating reminders on specific weekdays at a particular time.
