I used to have an app and it would count 30s every 30 min and I didn’t have to press anything to reset it. It also had an option to vibrate rather than beeping (within app not phone wide)
Don’t know what phone you have, but the default clock on my phone has a timer with different levels of alarm (beeping, vibrate, both, notification only).
I would assume phone wide notification is the better option, because then it always notifies you no matter if the app is open or not, allowing you to also use your phone for other stuff without stopping the timer.
I don’t know of such a FOSS app (but also didn’t know the concept), and honestly just don’t see why anyone would need it. Is hitting a reset button seriously such a deal breaker?
No
That is what this is though…set a timer for 30min, when I beeps look at something far away for 30s and then press the “reset timer” button.
Not every single small thing should be an app…

I cant achieve that with a timer

Not to be an ass, but that’s what I was asking about
No we all get that, but I don’t think many see the reason to use a dedicated app? The functionality you’re asking for is literally just a basic timer…
