Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes? (lemmy.ml)

They say time is is the most valuable resources. Right now, time feels quicker for me these days and I often lose track of it.

Because of that the app should have the same purposes as an old clock, it plays a little "ding" or a notification every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour, or as long as I like.

Preferably installable with f-droid, can I have an app recommendation.

I hate how large the apk files are

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I never actually noticed. It's always been like 25MB for stuff I do. Is that a lot?

Takes a huge amount of storage on my production machine to store the various libraries to produce that file, to be fair. That is a minor pain.

25MB.. Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

For having an empty scene with nothingness. Ye. Thats too much.

Another one commented that its 160kb for a native app. So damn. I guess I need to learn how to do native then.

But generally scrolling through F-Droid, I see many useful apps that are below 10mb or even below 5mb with many features. Which is why I see Godot apk files as too large. But yeah, its a game engine for games. With a good UI designing feature too.

OK, fair enough! I did not know that the size varied so much. I'll probably still keep using it though -- the Python-esque syntax means I don't have to learn a bunch of stuff I don't have the time to right now, and I'm very bad at UI, so it's a good solution for me :)

Incidentally, a lot of my best apps are very small as well. Under 1k usually (AVR Assembly).
