When warnings play
- 10 minutes remaining — a short alert chord (
alert_chord.mp3). - 3 minutes remaining — same chord, different urgency.
- Time expires — a louder gong (
tone_gong.mp3) plus the lock screen.
Volume
Warnings play on Android's alarm stream, so they're audible even if media is muted or the phone is on silent mode (unless you've explicitly silenced alarms too).
Can I customize the sounds?
Not currently — the two bundled sounds are the only options. On our roadmap: custom sound uploads for Pro. Let us know if you want it.
Can I disable warnings?
Not today. If this matters to you, email support — it's a likely feature add.
For young kids
Warnings are especially useful for pre-readers who can't see the countdown. Hearing the 10-minute chord gives them a clear signal to start wrapping up their activity.
