When cooking pasta for 7 minutes, you typically want to remove it 1 minute early to finish in the frying pan with sauce. You'd set a 7-minute timer and watch for the 6-minute mark. With this app, you can set a basic 7-minute timer and add an additional alarm 1 minute before completion for perfect timing. mod.Timer Features Set unlimited flexible intermediate alarms alongside your main completion alarm. Configure intermediate alarms in two ways that can be mixed: - Elapsed time alarms (from start) - Remaining time alarms (until completion) Add custom notification messages to intermediate alarms (optional feature). Name and save your timers - create as many as you need. Free Trial & Premium 14-day free trial included. Continue using with Premium upgrade via in-app purchase (currently ¥200 in Japan).
