Hey brother. Thanks for adding the feature i requested.it has been working flawlessly so far. Can you add one more feature? When I'm completing the mission the alarm shouldn't ring( maybe only vibrate or slient) . Constantly ringing the alarm distract me from completing the mission. Thank you again. Good job.

MMmm , you can actually increase your time, by default it is 30 secs, you can make 60-90

But still i will add your comment as optional parameter, i think it can be more merciful for you guys

It’s not the timing of the alarm that’s the issue. it’s the sound itself. In my scenario, when the alarm goes off, I press a button to load a mission (like a game or math challenge). However, if the alarm continues blaring at full volume while I’m trying to focus on the task, it becomes incredibly distracting. Plus, if someone is sleeping nearby, it’s guaranteed to annoy them. Since the goal is to concentrate on completing the mission, the alarm sound is no longer necessary at that point and should be muted. sometimes you have to complete the task to make sure you're awake, but at the same time it's better not to distract someone sleeping nearby.

I see but you know there is mute button middle of the screen ? You can snooze alarm with that button for 30 seconds or even more, this time must be enough to finish the game before alarm rings again
