Timer integration
It’s really important for competitive exams where you have time limits to solve a set number of questions, for this you have to time your problem solving time, the default clock has this feature as a stop watch but it has milliseconds which flash on you well every milliseconds so it’s very distracting to look at.For this I never found anything so I took it upon myself to make an app for myself and my friends a minimal ios clock style timer where the background is oled black so it doesn’t waste any battery, app close timer still running protection, lap history and your average time, I also added an exam mode where it’s a countdown timer instead of a stopwatch, please consider adding it. If you need any help I can share my source code with you guys, the only thing is I have to reinstall my app every 7 days because I don’t have a paid apple developer id, so I made it as a website and an android app for my friends
Reviewing
Thanks for taking the time to describe this. The use case you describe around timed problem solving and competitive exams makes a lot of sense, especially the point about milliseconds being visually distracting. We can see why a cleaner, calmer timer would be more effective in that context. It's something we definitely could see as a useful widget to add. Thanks again for sharing both the idea and the story behind it. We really appreciate people taking the time to think this deeply about how they study and how Amphi could fit into that.
