About this APK

Timely Chimer is an app by Kwad in the Productivity category, listed since at least October 2021. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.

Since version 3.4, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 9. It asks for 27 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: find accounts on the device and read media audio. Compared with version 3.4.01, it adds 4 new permissions (“Foreground service media playback”, “Run foreground services”, “Use biometric hardware” and “Use fingerprint hardware”) and drops 1 (“Read shared storage”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This is a recurring hourly (or minutely) chime/reminder application. Great for time management (such as for the Pomodoro Technique), meditation, cooking, timing experiments, or even as a pills reminder. Just set the time range and how often you want the alarm to go off and lean back and wait (or work, you know, be productive and whatnot). You can create multiple chimes for different needs, each with its own custom settings. The "advanced settings" upgrade unlocks all the options marked "advanced". The premium upgrade includes all upgrades, including the "advanced settings" upgrade, removing ads, the custom color theme picker, and cloud sync. If you experience a problem please report it using the Send Feedback button so that I am aware of it as well, and if you would like to test out new features or the latest bug fixes before everyone else, then become a beta tester.
