Multiple reminders

Open lachmanfrantisek opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hello!

Thanks for this simple but very helpful app!

Would it be possible to support multiple parallel countdowns?

I understand this will require significant changes in the user interface. Not sure if it helps, but Alarm and Timer view from Gnome Clock can be taken as an inspiration.

Or maybe an Android 12 alarm view (details accessible from the list view, no secondary window opened for details):

I need to consider it. There are other features that would be nice to have, like running multiple commands (#51) or setting a timer for another day, but I considered them out of scope for Time Switch. And with this I'm not sure if I want to implement it in Time Switch or at some point in the future I will create another app that will be much more feature-rich.

@fsobolev , thank you for considering this! Would providing a few use cases help?

I can easily imagine a situation when timers for multiple tasks running in parallel are required, like cooking for example. :)

Feel free to try convience me otherwise, but I think it would be better to implement in a separate task scheduler app for the reasons I explained in https://github.com/fsobolev/timeswitch/issues/60#issuecomment-1441558994
