I was going to write this app this weekend, but then I found it in the store! I might still rewrite it just to get some features that I want. In particular, I’d like a WWV (shortwave) style announcement of Time. For your “Buy me a coffee” please add Bluesky and Mastodon.
This app is almost perfect for what I need to set/check time on various clocks. Can you add an option to play a tone when the countdown gets to zero and then say the time? Another option that would work well with having a tone at zero would be to say what the time will be prior to the countdown. Something like “At the tone the time will be ...” and then start the countdown and at zero the tone would play. The recent change is almost perfect but it still needs a short countdown after announcing the upcoming tone time but before the tone so you can be ready for it. So after you announce the upcoming tone time it should still do some kind of countdown and then play the tone at the correct moment. It could be an abbreviated countdown like “three, two, one” or even the more colloquial “ready, set” or even the famous “BBC pips” and then the tone plays at the exact time.
Do you get frustrated when your clocks aren't showing the correct time? How about when two clocks in the same room are out of sync by one aggravating...
