What functions are planned to be implemented: — data synchronization on various devices (now it is possible, but is not being introduced due to unrealized security mechanisms); — classification of timers; — statistics; — implementation of the idea of “Tracks”: you can create a different set of time intervals and “perform” this “track”; — timer severity modes, in the flesh before blocking selected applications when running certain timers; — timer history; — and much more!
