Hello! 2 years ago I was playing Starcraft and needed a queen-inject timer (anyone? no?). Anyway, tried different things, but didn't find a single timer that could do what I wanted it to do. So I made one myself! :victory:
Introducing (drum roll)...
Time Boss
An easy to use timer application that lets you set multiple timers.
Each timer is highly configurable:
- Count up or count down
- Set alarm and/or vibration
- Change what happens when you tap the timer
- Change what happens when the timer runs out
- etc.
And it's easy to use:
Simply tap on a timer to start or stop it, and
hold a timer to show the options for that timer.
I'm very excited to hear any of your suggestions and ideas for improvements! :good:
(if you would be so kind to share them)

It also includes a simple stopwatch:

- Log lap times and save them to a text file
- Record times in hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds
Required permissions
- Write to file (to log lap times to file)
- Vibrate (alarm)
Hope you like it!

Demo looks nice. Will have a look at it
One question: how many timers can run at the same time?
Pretty cool man.. perhaps a bit better more modern looking interface?

Thanks for your reply.
There is no hardware limit on the number of timers that can run simultaneously (even though at a certain moment in time it becomes inpractical).
The design is such that 1 main timing event controls the timing updates for all timers. This is done to assure a low CPU load when using multiple timers. Also, the update frequency is reduced to 1 second when the application runs in the background (again to reduce system load).

Good point. I have been struggling with this... Will try to make some improvement on the UI over the next week or two.
If you have suggestions (e.g. apps that have a similar list with a header and main info/timer) and an appealing design, that would help. Otherwise I'll try my best at an improved design and go from there

Thanks again for you comment.
Been busy working on a new interface based on the holo.light theme. New fonts, colors, alignment, background images, menus, etc.
Will release the new GUI within 1 week, so please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.
New GUI
Current (old) GUI
Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Looks pretty good, mate, much better.

Nice update. Old UI was fine for me as well, but this indeed looks more up-to-date
P.S. Timer works well for me, no problems so far.

Just to keep you busy

Working on a new update with some nice new features, like:
- cascading timers (allows you to make a routine, e.g. run 5 mins, rest 1 min, run 5 mins, rest 1 min, etc.)
- new settings menu
- wave over phone to stop an alarm
- and more...
Should be online in about 10 days...
just a minor suggetion.. when adding a new timer, give it a default title, e.g. Timer 1, Timer 2, etc. (yup im not good at naming stuff), so that it wont just show a blank in the title line..

Good point.
Currently, you can set a title in 'default settings'. If you do, it will show up in all timers that you add. If you leave it blank (which is the default state when you start the app), the timer doesn't have a title. This way, the timer takes up less space.
It would be easy enough to give it a default value like 'Timer' (the user could still make it blank)...
Knowing this, would you still prefer a default title? (if so, it will be in the next update )

thx for the reply.. actually i asked a bit more than that.. apart from the auto-title text, there was also a sequence in the title (Timer 1, Timer 2, etc.)..
this could not be achieved by the default title setting, and thus i asked if u could make it a feature..
Hi, I just searched in Google play store with 'timer' and couldn't find your app.
Feels your app name doesn't match with search string - think about changing the app name to reflect timer.
Eg: "Timer Boss"
PS: really nice app, gui can be improved - black/colors bg option.
Thanks.

Ah, ok than I misunderstood :angel:
I will add this as a feature. Just to make sure: would the option: 'Add number to timer header' do what you would like it to do?
In this case, if the header is 'Timer', it would add the number of the timer (e.g. 'Timer 1', 'Timer 2', etc...)

Getting a good ranking in Google Play is really hard
(harder than I thought it would be)
The black background option does sound like a nice feature. Will add it in a future update!
I am thinking about providing the option to have the user select a background image. This would fit in nicely with that :highfive:
(will publish an update within 1 week, can't promise that these changes will be in that one already. It should be in the one after that though...)
Thanks for the suggestions, keep em comming!

Well, turns out that I am not very good at naming stuff either. I ended up naming them Timer 1, Timer 2, etc... haha

I added the option to change the background color.
The action bar is still the same (light) color though. If you like I can try to add the option to change the theme to HOLO DARK (instead of HOLO LIGHT that I use now)... Think it is ok the way it is now (also see image below with some 'test' layouts).
More new stuff in version 1.4:
- All running alarms can now be stopped by waving the hand over the screen (proximity sensor).
The proximity sensor is only enabled when the alarm is running to save battery life.
- Timers can now trigger the next/prev./first timer, so the user can make a (training/workout) schedule.
- New settings screen (moved several options to the settings screen to create a cleaner overall look)
Hope you like it!!
(More suggestions and ideas are always welcome! :good

It looks nice, will have a look at it!
Nice one man, let me know what you think
Wow, this application is fantastic! The options are endless and cover any config for looks or device. I am definitely going to purchase this one.
Great job!
I've been using this app since a long time and I really love it. Before a few weeks, I've bougt the pro version to support the developer.
Everything is working fine, but one thing:
It's terrible to change the theme. It's great to have that function, but I really don't know, what I'm doing there.
Click here, click there, look - no changes. Click there, click here - changes. But why?
The settings are really hard to use. I hope, that you can makes this theming easier for us^^
This is one of the few app I have never uninstalled. I think because it is so darned customizable. and that it has always been actively developed. Glad to be able to check out the newest features. Thanks
One of the few true "must have" Android apps. Thanks for all your hard work!
I've also been using this app for several months. Keep up the good work!
So am i,
I thing i would is like a button on the button or top thats opens agenda,.. or does it have it already and that is missed it?
Keep up youre good work
Gr.
I have compared a bunch of calendar widgets, and I this was the best one . I have been using it for kind of a long time now. I love how efficient it is about space, allowing me to see as much as possible in a limited amount of space. And of course scrolling.
Good job!
I've been using your app for a long time and I love it.
Here's a screenshot of it on my Nexus One:
There is problem with the time on my device. I get tasks from Google Calendar and they start one hour too early. If I got an appointment at 8 it shows as if I got it at 7.
just wanted to say ive been using the pay version of your app for some time on my G2 and I absolutely love it. ive tried almost all the calendar/agenda widgets out there and none come close to yours in customization. big thanks and looking forward to future updates. no bugs here for me so far.
This App has become my new homescreen calander/agenda. I use to use calwidget (great app by the way) by came across agenda widget and fell in love. Love how you can scroll with ADW.
Only complaint is the UI needs some cleanup and tweaking. Took me an hour to get it to look the way I wanted it too.
Example:
Wow that was a lot of replies in no time!
First, thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
I'm glad to continue working on an application people use so much and the positive comments give me motivation to fix the bugs and add new features! I will now reply to the "support" questions in reverse chronological order:

I am working on this at the moment, did you try the dev version with the new appearance settings?
I also cleaned up a few of the themes and tweaked some scrolling appearance bugs so they look a bit nicer to start with.

It has this function, you might need to override the date click action in settings->buttons and toolbars. This will become more automatic and easier to set in one or two releases as I have a nice little wizard half written which forces you to choose settings for click actions that will work

This should be fixed in the new version with a preview in the settings?
I was planning to release the free version to the market today (version 1.6.3), if anyone has time to check it doesn't break anything by upgrading the the dev version from the current market version it would be much appreciated!

Nice, that fixed the problem!
I've tried the developer version now and I like the preview setting though i still find the whole color/transparency settings a bit confusing (now you can set the transparency inside the color setting?).
I also think I found a bug here - when you change something "error compiling widget" begins popping up at the top but you probably know.
Keep up the great work.

Yep, someone told me about that.
I am going to change the way the preview works so it can also preview scrolling widgets, once I do this I hope it will automagically fix the weird error compiling widget problem.
I've been using this widget for some time and it is the best agenda widget out there!
Thanks!
I would like to have a separate tasks and agenda widget. This is completely possible except that calendars are global whether 'use global settings' is ticked or not.
I updated to the dev plus version and I've encountered no bugs that haven't already been mentioned. The preview is brilliant saved exiting settings for every change

Hey man,
The calendar list is stored in a database (rather than preferences like everything else) so there is a separate preference to handle the calendar list per widget called "widget calendars independent" in the calendars preference branch. There are some instructions on the wiki that should help.
Hi, I am new to the forum and just built my first app, and I wanted to put it here for you guys to use and give me feedback about what you like, what you don't like if you think its useful?
I hope this is the right forum and I am not breaking any rules by posting here.( I read the sticky first)
NEW! Interval Training Mode Added.
Unfortunately, I decided to go ad supported as I spent many weeks on this
donations amounted to less that $4.00
However I am offering the paid / donate version (no ads and can save more exercises in the interval training mode)
free of charge to those who helped me and are continually helping me with the development of this via feedback and suggestions.
Just email me and I will send you a copy.
Let me know what features you would like that this lacks.
Its a free Stopwatch with three modes
1) Stopwatch with Lap Timer
2) Countdown Timer
3) Repeating Countdown Timer (Select repeating Timer when setting countdown time) E.g Alarm beeps every 1 minute, can be used for circuit training etc)
I also added a Lap Stats function which shows your fastest lap, slowest lap and avg speed.
Version 1.0.7 (update)
Elapsed Time and Remaining Time on Notification Bar (Updates every minute) -c00ller
Fixed Menu Settings (User preferences should work now) - lots of reports about this one
Added Lap counter text in landscape mode. - fifarunner
Automatically remove zeros, when user enters time via keypad. - c00ller
Updates
Added User Preferences to enable / disable haptic feedback
Changed the UI/ Layout a bit, you can now select modes by pressing icons at the bottom of the screen
Added a service that should keep the Stopwatch from timing out, I would really appreciate it if you can let me know if the problem still exists.
Added an option to allow the stop button to register as a lap.
Reduced the font size to make landscape mode work on LDPI devices
More features coming soon...hopefully I will be able to roll out updates a bit faster in the future.
Features and Issues requested and pointed out by users...Thanks Everyone for your continuing feedback.
Current Issue
-Need to create service to keep watch running in background [Gusar]
-Landscape on ldpi devices not showing correctly [fiffarunner]
Feature Requests by Members
-Add multiple timers [JVogler]
-Fix Lap layout in landscape [Alouch]
-Lap recorded on Stop and export laptimes [JimmyN]
-Add vibration rather than sound option on alarm [A.Priori]
-Save timers [treesurf]
-Custom Alarm tones [beardedchild]
EDIT: I also forgot to mention I used a Tmobile G2 for my testing which has a hdpi screen, 480x800.. so if you guys with different screen resolutions and tablets can let me know if you have any problems with the way the program layout etc please let me know, I would really appreciate your feedback. I tried using the emulator but it would crash frequently on my pc.

Hope you enjoy and feedback and suggestions would be really appreciated.
Sweeeet! Simple, but does the job. And looks good while doing it too.
One problem: Exit the app while the countdown is running and when the timer reaches zero, I'm greeted by the alarm and a force close message.
And a suggestion: An icon in the statusbar if there's a countdown running in the background.
Thanks a million Gusar321. I will definitly look into that bug and thanks also for the suggestion, I really appreciate the feedback.
Hey Gusar321, just wanted to let you know I updated the app and added the notification feature in the status bar. Also credited you on the update in the market. (Whats new section) Thanks again
I'm so disgusted with SPB Time (a not cheap paid app) missing alarms and draining battery with no support from developers...I uninstalled. I miss the repeating countdown timer for my heavy-bag work though. Going to give this a try and report back.
Will be running on Atrix BTW
EDIT: Just tried, would be great to have multiple timers at once. One to sound every minute, and then a different sound every 3 minutes. A way to achieve that would make it possible to do a whole workout without ever having to reset timer.
It looks great so far though!
Thanks for the feedback JVogler, I am glad that you mentioned that, because that is on my list a timer that can be set at different intervals. Right now I am working on keeping the timer running in the background as a Service, (thanks Gusar for reporting the issue).
very nice, gave it 5 stars.
Wow, thanks A.Priori , you guys are really giving me the ecouragment to keep improving and developing this app more. I really appreciate it.
By sometime next week, I will release a list of the features that I plan on putting in this app.
Hi spawn782
thanks for the app, nice and sleek.
I was missing this since I go Cyanogen.
Just something with the landscape mode, I think it should be redesigned a little.
As you can see on screenshot, the bottom is half cut when taking lap, and when taking new lap, it stays on the first (when it can maybe autoscroll ?).
Maybe you can just remove the grey at the top ?
Otherwise, very nice app, and keep your effort updating it
It's a 5 star for me.
Screenshot :
very nice indeed! thanks
One question, why does it need internet access, as you don't have any advertisements?
Ok, did some testing on my HTC Wildfire(240x320), works well in portrait.
But...Landscape doesn't:
This is in timer and in stopwatch mode, so landscape needs some more time. If you'd like me to test some stuff, pm me or send me an email
Thanks Alouch47, I will work on the landscape mode. I see fifarunnerr also has a problem with the landscape mode so I will definitly have to do some more work on that (thanks fifarunnerr for the offer to help, I may send you an apk after I am finished with the updates).
I do have a question about the landscape mode though, I was thinking that maybe its a mode that you would use in a scenario when you are exercising and you put the phone down a distance away from you. This is the reason why I made the numbers much bigger in this mode, so you can it from a further distance. In such a mode do you think the laptimer will be useful? I was thinking t maybe just cut off that part in landscape mode? You would still be able to record laps, but they will be visible when you return to portrait.
What do you think about that idea? Is the laptimer critical to users in landscape mode?
With regards to the Internet Access that Odyon asked about, its because I run analytics in the program. The reason being is that the anroid market analytics is really delayed for me. Today is the 11th of August and latest android market data (statistics) is is still on the 8th of August
Have to say that this shows promise, I would like to make an observation, let's say I'm using the stopwatch to time a 3 lap race, I click lap at the end of lap 1 and the time for lap 1 is shown, the same at the end of lap 2 the lap time is shown (lap 2) however I click stop at the end of the 3rd lap ( end of the race) and I would expect to see the lap time for lap 3 however this doesn't appear can this be implemented?
Also a useful function would be the ability to export your lap times as a text file.
looking forward to further updates.
I just installed it.
Very useful and simple to use.
thanks
yes that can be implemented, (lap on stop) and will be added to feature requests. I will update the first post
Very well designed, simplicity is the way to beauty.
I´m also missed the timer on my cyanogen rom so, thanks so much for your work.
Best regards.
thanks mhut
This is a very nice looking timer, however in terms of functionality and quick use, I can't find anything better than UltraChron Stopwatch
Notice how on the bottom there is a very easy and intuitive way to switch between stopwatch and countdown modes. Your app requires pressing Menu, Set Timer, adjusting the time, Set Timer button, then start. With UltraChron you click Timer, adjust time, then start. I just think your app's current method of using the same screen for two functions is a bit less elegant than it could be. Another feature it has that I don't think I can live without is it shows time left in the notification bar when you have a timer on, and updates every minute with the number of minutes left. I am not trying to tell you to copy this app, I am just saying this app has been around for a long time and you can learn from its ideas.
Also, your app only allows the numbers to be changed with the arrows. I think it would also be nice to be able to press the number itself to change it directly via on screen keyboard (just like changing alarm clock times, which give both up and down buttons as well as direct input).
I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of this app, and I hope my suggestions have helped.
BTW this is my post number 1337
Thanks c00ller, I appreciate your feedback and opinions and I agree with your comments (great points about the usability) and they are on my list to be implemented, but I figured it would be best for me to get it out first and then start rolling out the updates as I get them completed. Thanks for your feedback and I will implement these changes over the next couple of updates.
Hi Guys, I just wanted to let you know that I updated the app a bit. Sorry I have not been able to add all of the features suggested so far, but I spent most of the time trying to fix bugs that caused force closes. I hope that I have fixed most of the bugs so that I can now roll out feature updates quicker that before.
Again, thank you very much for your feedback and support.
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.

Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates. Please buy the Key - that would help us a lot

Hmm... i just tried on three devices (hc, ics, cm9) and the keyboard pops up fine when clicking the login field.
Can you please try another site? Or maybe a reboot? We use the webkit browser and its not flawless so the keyboard hiding we do at first run may be screwing with it.
Lets see if we can fix this for you.
1.0.2.1
Fixed keyboard issue present on some phones

Do you mean the list separators?
This is awesome. Tried to make some widgets, but i don't have so much ideas. Anyway the keyboard sometimes don't work, i must exit and start again, and sometimes back button doesn't go to previous page but exit the widget config. A possible overall preview would be nice(maybe full screen preview) since i make some changes and don't know how the widget will look. Another thing that i noticed is that when i select an element, in selection section it shows on center and nice aligned on every row, but when i put it on homescreen it's just one row after another. Here it's an e.g:
Selection:
---------
###
---------
**
Homescreen:
-------###------**
Also would be possible to take whole div, not only an element from that? I tried to take a div that contains some text and an image, but only the text was selected. This is a nice piece of work, keep up the good work.

Hi. Thanks. If you like it, please leave a comment on the play store - at this early junction good reviews will help us spend more time making things better
Regarding the preview - its in the works, though it is pretty complex to do. We will use our Prepaid Widget as a template, so you can have a look at that if you want a a preview of how thew preview will look...
Re many elements. ATM its only possible to select one at a time. We are working on an internal launcher which will allow you to move all the elements around. Its slated for release this month.

Review added on market. This would be huge, if you can implement multiple elements. Select one, two ore w/e elements and move them around, awesome!
Just something that i forgot to ask, sometimes it takes up to 150MB RAM, usually 50~60MB isn't a bit much?
Pretty awesome app. I can't for the kufe of me figure out how to set the widget on my desktop. I assume I need the paid app. Most likely user error I'm just dumb lol.

It's a widget. Long press on homescreen, search for MetaWidget and start configure it:
- Enter a website, select an element(click on it then use the arrows from bottom to select between multiple elements)
!!! make sure you have the checkbox from bottom-left ticked !!!
- Click on the plus sign near the ticked box to select that element and go to widget preference screen.
- Configure the text alignment, size, background color, w/e...
- Click OK , select widget size then select OK again, and you'r done.

We will implement multiple elements soon when our widget constructor comes out. Within two weeks the beta will be up.
Re ram - this is because of images. And of course the cache of the webkit browser, which once closed is shunted out of ram.
On modern devices this isnt a problem though...

I saw your review in Google Play, thanks!
If you do not mind, could you tell me what feature are you looking forward?
this is what in my to-do list now (shared with my own app, it is what should be done in next release) ,
Dev: To-Do
Remake the widget preview, it is too green
Speed up sync
Popup clear completed
Drag drop in day view
Map in calendar
Yes, more rrule
Notes: use a chart like the json and SQL site
When selected some small displacement is happened for the text
Notes: 4.2 only????

Just some personal options, I would like to see control on font sizes on the views (Month, Day etc...), I just think the day numbers could be a little larger and bolder or at least give the user the option. I would also like to see a method of switching from Month, Week, Day and Agenda other than having to reach to the top left of the screen, if anything maybe because of my laziness . I just found that I had to use two hands to switch from Month to Agenda as opposed to one handed as if I was walking and had to check it or was carrying something in my other hand. That is the only thing I would say felt awkward to me. Again these are just things that jumped out to me for my personal preferences. I think it seems solid and I know it is a first release, as as I said in the review it is worth keeping an eye on. Thanks.

I use GTasks before, but one thing ever annoyed me is how complicated when you want to indent a task (I love indenting tasks...). In my app almost all operation can be performed more efficiently (maybe the most efficient way is put a lot of buttons, but I really cannot stand the ugliness of this). I know there are a lot to be done such as touth to move tasks (instead long press to move), and a sub-menu for task item to delete. I will certainly do this in future releases.

I'll add a font setting in future. About the button at top left, I once considered to put them all in the side panel, but I find that there are to much in it: the different views, the mini-month calendar, and visible calendar selector. I'll think about this method again or try to find another idea.

It is just a tool to record what you have done in you 24 hours, and I do not think most people need it, so it is disabled by default.
i noticed that when you are creating new task from widget, it displayed a wrong "create time", this is a bug right?

i'd like to have a postpone function and repeating tasks (repeats every 5 days), and a preference for your tasks as to when they are due without you having to manually set it....
anyway, enjoying this app. well done
Thank you for this great app, i was looking for so long.
I think we do need no second Calengoo, so please keep it simple and clean.

Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Version 3.3.5
What's new:
In this update we are releasing an in-app purchase for the Premium version of the app. The Premium version has no alarm limits and allows you to add as many alarms as you need.
We would like to thank all the existing users for choosing this alarm clock and are offering the Premium upgrade completely free until 26th May. To get the Premium version free, simply enter the promo code below when completing the purchase in the app.
17J1GF3XWZAAAVNU619WXYR PLEASE SEE THE UPDATE BELOW
Download:
- XDA Labs: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.alarmstudio.alarmbow
- Google Play: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.alarmstudio.alarmbow
There appears to be a problem with the way we set up the promo code posted above. Or rather we misunderstood the way Google Play promo codes work.
Sincere apologies to everyone who tried to use it. Chances are it failed with an error message stating “already used by someone else”.
We still want to offer the Premium upgrade for free to all the existing users. And if you would like to get it, simply drop us a line at [email protected] and we’ll email you your personal promo code.
Sorry for the mess up
Version 3.3.9
What's new:
- Small improvement: You can now name/label alarms.
Hey mate! Thanks again for the promo code.
Gonna give you some feedback in return (Sorry I am little bit late on this, forgot I even have the app). Let's go:
1) Allow "weekdays" to be configurable. Lots of places in the world use Sunday as start of the week day and not Monday.
2) Make it so I can disable the wake up message.
3) Will be cool if instead of saying "Alarm will go off today" you will mention how much time is left till the alarm.
4) Shake to snooze/dismiss doesn't work outside of app screen.
5) Does each alarm has to be so big? I can only fit 3 without the need to scroll down.
6) Allow some basic theming options. Black and yellow is not everyones cup of tea.
7) Adding a label will make the text for alarm days dissappear. See attached pic.
8) label text color should have a different color in order to recognize it more easily.
That's it buddy, any more feedback and I will have to start charging you
Thanks a lot mate! More than enough for starters
Just few questions to help me understand it better:
2) You mean not to show the confirmation screen at all? Or to show the screen without the message?
5) What's the phone you have? I'll check its screen size and make sure bigger screens (like yours) fit more alarms.

Happy to help, mate.
Regarding 2 - I am talking about the option of removing the message screen completely. It is an unwanted second click (For me at least). When turning off the alarm I must face that message screen even though I did not write there anything - So I get an empty message that cannot be removed.
Regarding 5 - I have xiaomi mi mix. But it has nothing to do with my phone's screen. Even on the pictures on Google play, you only show 3 alarms. Try adding the 4th one and you will notice that the text for it cannot be seen unless we scroll down.
Have a nice day.
Regarding 2 - Got you. I know what I'll do. Won't show the screen if the message is set to blank/empty.
Regarding 5 - A bit confused. Attached is the original screenshot used to make the picture on Google Play. It fits 4 alarms nicely. The free version fits 4 alarms without any scrollbars, the premium version adds a bit of padding at the bottom to accommodate the add/plus button which forces the scrollbar to appear. I used the Google Clock app as a reference (also attached). Are you saying it would be better to have 5 alarms on the screen?
Many thanks once again!

Hey, looks like I was mistaken about 5 and I think I know why.
It looks like I got confused a little bit because I can still scroll down while not having anything there. It lead me to assume that in order to read the days of week or label for the last alarm clock I will need to scroll to bot.
I crossed checked with one of the screenshots I took back then and I did not had anything specific set for that alarm (Attaching pic for reference).
IMO, you should get rid of that scroll if it does nothing until the 5th alarm comes into play.
About the 5 clocks on a single screen - I think it will look better and feel better but my phone is big so you better test it on smaller phones as well to see if it still holds up even after changing to 5.
It also it might hurt your business plan, so it too, needs to be taken into consideration.
Good night buddy.
Aw man, I missed the premium version
Got you. Let me look into it along with other things you mentioned.
