This is a Personal Timer App with customizable features: • Calculate Timer End Time: Easily calculate and set the exact time when the timer will go off. • Percentage Display: View the remaining time as a percentage, providing a clear visual indicator of time left. • Custom Motivational Text: Set and display any text, such as motivational messages, to keep you inspired. • Custom Background Image: Personalize your timer by setting your own images as the background. • Text Customization: Change the text color and adjust the font size to suit your preferences. With these features, you can use the app as your own personal clock timer, tailored to your specific needs. Developed for personal study sessions. This timer helps maintain a quiet environment. For situations where you need a guaranteed notification or an alarm sound, please use the built-in iOS timer after measuring the desired time with this app. How the Developer Uses It: To create a situation where I start studying even when I lack motivation, I set the timer for "just 15 minutes." In most cases, I continue working even after the 15 minutes are up, so I use it as a "motivation switch." When I'm busy, it helps me accurately calculate what time it will be after a certain number of minutes. This prevents mistakes that can happen when trying to calculate time mentally during complex tasks.
