Customization
Section titled “Customization”For each event, you can:
- Enable or disable the sound independently
- Choose a sound from the available options
- Import a custom sound (up to 30 seconds duration)
Access sound settings from the app’s settings menu.
Haptic Feedback
Section titled “Haptic Feedback”When audio is unavailable (e.g., device on silent mode), the app falls back to haptic feedback so you still get tactile confirmation of events.
- The timer tick uses a debounce of 0.9 seconds to avoid overwhelming sound during fast countdowns
- Custom sounds can be any audio file up to 30 seconds — good for personalized alarms
- Disable score change sounds during fast-paced games if the constant feedback gets distracting
- Use a distinctive alarm tone for Timer Expired so it stands out during noisy game sessions
