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 Β₯200 in Japan).
