NextEvent gives you a simple view of how long until your next calendar appointment or alarm. A 1x1 widget on your home screen shows you at a glance how many days, hours, or minutes until your next event. Easily see how much time until your next meeting at work, or keep an eye on how many hours until the alarm is going to go off in the morning.

Other calendar widgets take up a lot of space on your home screen, but NextEvent is small and straightforward. The widget focuses solely on telling you when your next event is coming. Clicking the widget brings up a full list of all upcoming events, with description, location, and time for each. You can also optionally add your next event to the notification bar.
NextEvent integrates with the following sources:
Built-in calendar app
System alarm and other alarms that write to the system alarm property (see note below)
Alarm Clock Xtreme
Alarm Clock Plus
If you have another source you’d like me to consider adding, please let me know. Please note that my ability to integrate it depends on either an existing interface from that provider, or willingness to add one for this purpose. Some apps may not be possible to integrate.
If you have any problems, questions, or comments, please be sure to let me know here or email me directly. I’m an independent developer with a day job, but I will do everything I can to answer your questions and resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
More on alarm integration:
Android provides a system property that any app can write to indicating the next alarm time. If you only have your default system alarm application installed, this should work fine. If nothing happens when you click on an alarm in the detail list, or if it opens the wrong application, please go to Menu -> Settings -> Global Alarm Application and choose what program should be opened.
If you use – or even have just installed – a 3rd party alarm application, it may cause problems with this property. Since both the default and 3rd party apps are writing to this property, one may write to the property that there is no scheduled alarm, overwriting the alarm the other app has set. NextEvent supports more direct integration with two popular alarm clock programs, Alarm Clock Plus and Alarm Clock Xtreme. If you use either program, the direct integration will not have any of these problems. It also supports showing multiple alarms and timers that have been set in those applications. I may look into adding direct integration with other alarm programs if they support it.

Again, if you have any problems or suggestions, please let me know here, via the email listed in the market, or via PM!
Changelog/announcements
v1.1.1:
- Full ICS+ support (sorry for the delay!)
- Optional icon in the notification bar with a countdown to the next event (just the closest hour or day if > 90 minutes, or minutes if < 90 minutes). ICS+ only for now.
Save one more
You never know, might need one more...
Will this be available for 4.0+? This is the only calendar widget or indeed app I've found that has a countdown view including hours and minutes of upcoming events.
Have you realized that there is not calendar widget out there with time until event? eg:
- 10pm Event XXXX (in 5h:25m)
I would gladly pay for a widget like that...

So are you basically looking for a widget that includes the event title, in addition to what's there now? I can certainly add that -- it'd most likely need to be a bigger widget to fit the title in a readable font (maybe 2x1). So I'd keep the 1x1 version for those who want it. Let me know if that's what you had in mind.

Actually, the perfect widget for me would be a 4x1, and in it accommodate the next 2-3 events:
- 11am Event A (in 5h6m)
- 1pm Event B (in 7h6m)
- 3pm Event C (in 9h6m)
I have pure calendar widget, and when I asked the dev to include this feature the reason he gave me to not include it was that it would be a battery hog as he would have to make it update every x minutes. Now, I had this kind of widget when I had my HTC phone, and what the widget did was to redraw itself with the updated time every time I would turn on the display.
Please tell me if this is possible without making it a big battery drain.
Thanks a lot for looking into it!!
P.S. I even know the name it should have: "NextEvents"

Random Reminder is a simple yet beautiful non-time-based reminder/alarm app.
Random Reminder reminds you of important life goals and helps you achieve behavioral changes.
The app was launched for android 5.0 and up in the beginning. Now after much hard work it's finally available for a larger audience! Please give the app a try and definitely let me know what you think about it!
LINK TO PLAYSTORE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jason.randomreminder
You will be reminded of important life goals or behavioral changes you want to achieve randomly. No specific time can be set for a reminder. Only ranges of available time and days can be set so the app does not remind you at inappropriate times. Great for behavioral changes and achieving life goals that were 2012's new year's resolution. With a variety of customizations including reminder types, reminder background, appearance etc, you get to decide how your reminder would look like when you are prompted by the catchy reminders.
Features:
- Statistics: Random Reminder also offers statistics for each individual reminder item. You will be able to see yourself progress over a period of time. Useful information like completion rate will be provided to you. Customization options will also be available.
- Message: Add a motivational message to yourself when adding a new reminder. The message will be displayed when the reminder is triggered randomly.
- Done/Snooze: You can choose to mark the reminder as done or snooze the reminder so you will be reminded again in a specific time.
- Options: You can select notification tone, vibration or even LED notification light to make the reminder more obvious so you won't miss a single one of them.
- Preview: You can preview a reminder to see how it looks like. No worries though because the font and the background is all random too, so you won't see the same look constantly.
- Repeat: You can decide how many times a reminder at least will repeat.
There are a lot other features to be explored. Install the app and expect some achievements and boost in productivity!
To get user feedback, I will be giving out a limited number of Google Play Store promo codes for the pro-version of the app!
Please comment or message me directly and I will be happy to send you one!
First come, first served- thanks!
Introduction
Notification Timer lets you use stopwatch timers right from your notification drawer.
No need to open an app- view and use your timers from anywhere!
If you track billable work hours, time spent on personal projects, hobbies, chores, exercise, sports, or anything else, then you need this app!
There are some great alternatives out there, but they all have the same major flaw: you shouldn't have to search for an app and wait for it to open to manage your time tracking. With Notification Time, now you don't have to!
With Notification Timer, you can access your timers from anywhere- your home screen, another app, or even the lock screen!

Features
Main Features:
• Notification timers: Timers you activate will show up in the notification drawer. You can view and use them from anywhere!
• Create and manage multiple timers: You can show and hide individual timers as you need them.
• Focus on individual timers: If you have a lot of active timers, the notification can get quite large. You can hide all but one timer by tapping the stopwatch icon, and show them all again by tapping it again.
• Customize your timers: You can give each timer a unique display name to make it stand out. Personalize your timers with more than 40 color options. Choose to hide buttons you don't need to avoid accidental resets and dismissals.
• Deactivate/reactivate timers: Don't need access to your timers right now? With one button press you can hide them all from the notification drawer. Press it again when you're ready to start tracking time again. All the timers you had active before will be remembered and activated automatically!
• Reset all timers: Done recording for the day? With one button press you can easily reset all timers back to time zero.
• Timer history: All timer events (start/stop/reset/etc.) are automatically recorded, up to 1000 events

• App themes: Dark theme is enabled by default, but a light theme is there if you prefer it.
• Timer styles: Three different timer styles are available: dark, light, and black.

Notes
Due to Android technical limitations, all timers in the notification need to refresh at the same time. Because of this, you may see some hiccups or glitches while timers are running, and their displayed times might be slightly off. Paused timers will always be accurate.
For the same reasons, it is not possible to display milliseconds in the notification and still have responsive buttons- sorry! If displaying milliseconds within the app itself becomes a highly-requested feature, that could be a future possibility.
Also, please note that the daily tracking log is not able to keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events). If you need longer term records, please consider using a separate time tracking tool. For now, the focus of Notification Timer is easy-to-use timers. If lots of users request more sophisticated time tracking then that could be a possibility for the future.
Please feel free to reach out with any bug reports or feature requests and thank you for your support!

Release Notes
Version 1.2.0:
Added small timer layout. With the small layout, up to twelve timers can be displayed at the same time and up to six can be displayed without having to recreate the notification after focusing on a timer. By default, the small layout will be used if five or more timers are active, but this can be changed in Settings.
Added setting to specify which layout focused timers should use.
Older Versions:
Version 1.1.0:
Created a Daily Tracking Log screen to view daily breakdowns for each timer (elapsed, added, and total time). Please note: the app still won't keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events), so if you need to keep long term records please consider using a separate dedicated time tracking tool.
Fixed notification upgrade message not directing to in-app upgrade prompt dialog.
Fixed some memory leaks (might see some benefits in memory usage).
Version 1.0.2:
Implemented manually setting of time by typing in the time (instead of scrolling).
Tapping a timer's time within the app now opens the dialog to manually set the time.
Fixed crashing bug (probably) seen on Moto G5s Plus (and likely other devices).
Fixed crashing bug related to activate all timers button.
Adjusted contact form (removed auto-fill suggestions).
Version 1.0.1:
Tapping a timer's focus button in the app now activates the timer in the notification.
Tapping a timer's name in the app now opens the timer settings dialog.
Made slight adjustments to timer dropdown menu.
Simplified and shortened tutorial.
Ads are now hidden while the tutorial is running.
Fixed a bug that could prevent the tutorial from progressing.
Fixed bug where the activate/deactivate all timers button would crash the app if a timer had recently been deleted while active.
Version 1.0.0:
Initial release- Notification Timer lives!

I liked the idea! Right now I use the stopwatch from the default clock, but, like you said, you need to open the app and can't control via notification. I would like to test the Pro version :angel:

Code sent- thanks for trying it! I was in the exact same situation, which is what caused me to decide to develop the app. I hope it helps you out!
Hey everyone! I just released an update, fixing some bugs and adding a couple features. And I still have promo codes for anyone interested!

Love the idea! It's much more simpler, than opening one app, and then going back, and doing that everytime you want to pause and.. well, you get it.
Noticed some problem. On my Xiaomi Redmi 3 there is only one timer in the drawer, even then I started several of them. Might be MIUI problem.
Also, it would be very nice, if app accumulated all timer time. Yeah, I can go to history and sum it all by myself, but it's no fun. Like how that realized in TimeSheet. It gives report by day, week, month, etc.

Thanks for the heads up! A bug on that platform is very possible, as I don't have any Xiaomi/MIUI devices to test on (though I will be looking into getting one). Is it possible that your timer is in focused mode? There would be a line under the stopwatch icon and tapping it would show the other activated timers.
As for accumulated time, I am looking into a system for automatically tracking daily time and an "all timers" option would be trivial to add to that (as would week/month/etc.). Thanks for the suggestion!
In using the app, I realized I wanted to be able to have more timers displayed at a time, so I created a small timer layout to fit more into the notification. Here's the update with that feature- enjoy!

Version 1.2.0:
Added small timer layout. With the small layout, up to twelve timers can be displayed at the same time and up to six can be displayed without having to recreate the notification after focusing on a timer.

Hi all,
I'm an indie developer from near Hamburg, Germany. My problem was, that I constantly missed appointments and birthdays. So I started looking around for suitable apps. Only one app met my requirements, but you couldn't swipe away the notification. So like most of you, I decided to develop my own first app.
What is the main feature?
- Set a time and receive a daily notification with all your upcoming events and birthdays for the next days
2. What else can I do?
- Change the layout of the notification
- Open each event from the notification
- Set custom event filter, customize displayed information, use dark mode ...
3. Sweet, but aren't there already ton of apps, which can do that?
- There are indeed some apps with similar features, but none of them is designed as a notification. They all are widgets and are not swipeable.
4. Ok, I want to download this amazing app.
- Free version with no Ads. Check it out!
I would love some feedback and I hope some of you might find it useful
Kind regards,
Martin
