Feature request: countdown timer

[68267a]

I like to use countdown timers rather than count-up because I am easily distracted and will wander off while making coffee. A countdown timer would sound an alarm and remind me that I am making coffee.
This can be implemented by tapping the timer itself which would prompt for a value.

Ok that's a good idea. I may be able to implement something where you can choose between count up/count down.

I was thinking just tap on the timer itself to bring up a prompt.

Sorry, I've had a lot come up over the past couple weeks and have not been able to update this. I will be able to soon though, hopefully.

No worries, it's a really cool app that isn't over encumbered by superfluous 'features'

Thanks! That was part of the idea. I got tired of switching between my calculator and timer so I just wanted something all on the same screen and simple to use.

what's the timer for?

@cottoncandy2014 when brewing coffee with a pour over style method, there is usually time based elements like blooming for 30 seconds. In immersion methods like French press, you may only want to brew for so much time and not over brew it.
