Description
**NOTE: This app is free for random timers under 2 minutes. For random timers over 2 minutes, it is a paid app (only a one-time payment of $8)**
It was not cheap to make
Random Timer Generator is a random countdown timer that allows you to input a Minimum and Maximum time, and then it will start a random timer somewhere within that range.
Random Timer Generator allows you to create random timer countdowns, which makes it great as an exercise timer, a meditation timer, a random timer for studying, a Musical Chairs timer, or as a timer for Hot Potato style games like Catch Phrase, The Last Word, Pass The Bomb... or Hot Potato.
************************************
FEATURES
* Fully configurable random countdowns with adjustable seconds, minutes, and hours
* Supports timer durations from 0 seconds to 24 hours
* The timer and alarm will still run properly even if your screen is locked or you have another app open
* Enable or disable countdown noise options
* Enable or disable showing how much time is left while the random timer is going
* Sounds an alarm when the timer hits 0. Choose from different alarm noise options, or go silent with vibrate-only option
* Upload your own sound or song as the countdown sound, the sound when timer ends, or the sound when break period ends
* Animates and vibrates when going off, so you'll notice the timer expiring in a noisy situation
* Looping mode - set a random timer to go off repeatedly, so the next random timer starts again after one ends. You can even add a "break period between random timers", where you can set how many seconds you'd like as a break between random timers when Loop mode is on.
* If Looping mode is on, it will tell you how many loops you have completed
************************************
Random Timer Generator is great for:
* Games
There are many Hot Potato style games where you don't want to be the person holding the ball (or potato) when the random timer goes off. Random Timer Generator works great for these Hot Potato style games, such as Catch Phrase, The Last Word, Pass The Bomb... or Hot Potato. Also great for board games where you need a random timer
* Meditation
When meditating, you may want to set a timer... but not know exactly when that timer will end (for example, a random timer that will go off somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes). Random Timer Generator works great for that.
* Exercise
While exercising, you may want to have a random timer for doing certain exercises, but not know exactly how long you will need to do it for. For example, you could set a minimum of 15 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds while holding a forearm plank.
* Musical Chairs
With Random Timer Generator, you can set a random timer (for example between 5 seconds and 30 seconds) to go off for playing Musical Chairs. You can even have it playing songs while the timer is counting down.
* Studying
Andrew Huberman has popularized the Gap Effect or Spacing Effect method of studying, where you have a random timer go off every now and then while studying, to give yourself a short break. During that break, your brain replays what you were just learning at hyper speed.

Ratings and Reviews
Pretty good but missing a few things
After paying the $8 to unlock, I was disappointed to learn if you use the repeater loop and a custom sound that is longer that 2-3 seconds, you don’t hear the entire sound, just 2-3 seconds. And even if you use the “add a break between timers” option, it still cuts off the sound when looping is turned on.
Additionally, the alarm seems to always include vibrate, there is seemingly no option for sound alone, which is kind of annoying.
Other that it’s good, but hoping the developer sees this and makes a few small tweaks to get a 5th star from me. Thanks!

Hey there, if you don't loop the timer, then it will play the full sound.
Unfortunately I can't have the full sound play when looping mode is on, because some sounds are a few minutes long, so then you'd be waiting a long time for the next timer loop to start.
I'll see if I can add an option to disable vibration in a future release though :)
Ehhhhhh
The app was great and then at some point in the last month, from what I can tell, it changed. There are only two things that I need at random timer to do. 1 go off at a random time, and 2 go off at the volume I set it at. I use this for emergency preparedness. I don’t see any other reason why you would need this app. It still goes off randomly, but the volume changes on its own. Now I get during an emergency it’s going to be loud and chaotic, but I can do that by other means and I don’t need an app blowing out my cell phone speaker. Also the alarm itself plays something different. So you put it on explosion and on the third time it plays gong, you put it on beep and by the 2nd time it plays arcade. Now I don’t care about that one so much but it’s odd. I already tried deleting and reinstalling the app.

Hey Youmeanits, I cannot seem to reproduce this on my end. Can you send me an email at daviswbaer@gmail.com ?
For the volume, it will take whatever volume you currently have your phone set to. Perhaps you are adjusting your phone's volume between timers?
Very Helpful
Very helpful app. I use it to motivate myself to stay on task. To the developer: I love that you took someone else’s suggestion to show the completed time when a hidden timer finishes. I would love it even more if that went one step further so that the completed time stayed visible until the next timer starts. I usually remember to note the time before I turn the alarm off, but sometimes I forget. Thanks so much for a great app!

Glad to hear it's helpful!
