Recurring Interval Reminder

A simple repeating alert that dings every set number of minutes — for stretch breaks, hydration reminders, or any recurring nudge.

A recurring reminder solves a genuinely different problem than a countdown timer does, even though both involve waiting for time to pass. A countdown timer is built around one specific endpoint — cook for ten minutes, then stop. A recurring reminder has no endpoint at all; it's built for anything that needs a repeated nudge at a steady interval for as long as you're doing the underlying activity, like standing up every 30 minutes during a long work session, or drinking water every hour throughout the day.

The distinction matters because building this behavior out of a regular countdown timer means manually restarting it after every single alert, which defeats the purpose — the whole point of a recurring reminder is to remove exactly that kind of repeated manual effort, letting you set the interval once and then genuinely forget about it until the next ding.

This tool does exactly that: set how many minutes you want between reminders, press start, and it'll sound an alert at that interval indefinitely until you press stop. It's intentionally simple and open-ended, since the use cases for "remind me repeatedly, forever, until I say stop" are broad enough that adding a fixed end point would just get in the way for most of them.

1. Set how many minutes between reminders.
2. Press Start.
3. You'll hear a sound at each interval until you press Stop.
