They say time is is the most valuable resources. Right now, time feels quicker for me these days and I often lose track of it.

Because of that the app should have the same purposes as an old clock, it plays a little "ding" or a notification every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour, or as long as I like.

Preferably installable with f-droid, can I have an app recommendation.

Set an alarm in your clock app, repeat forever

You could try a ship’s bell app, there are a bunch out there. They chime every half hour

OpenHIIT is a workout timer I've used before. It can handle a simple auto repeating timer.

If the others suggested aren’t quite right for you, you might try looking for an interval timer app. These are generally used for fitness, but it seems to me that type of setup might do exactly what you want if you just set up a “workout” that has a single 30 min interval and repeats.

You can setup a countdown timer for 30 mins and restart it every time.

Clock app set many alarms

People using the Pomodoro technique use apps like that. That's usually 25 minutes, 5 minute break, repeated 4 times, then a 30 minute break. This is apparently a popular Android one but there are others for Windows, Chrome, MacOs, I assume Linux and more for Android as well.

This sounds like the Pomodoro technique.... There are a lot of apps for that.

It sorta is a pomodoro, I've been using Pomofocus.io for a while for desktop so I don't lose track of time. Though majority of my time I didn't spend on a desktop so, a mobile app that also less resourceful could be more useful.

Can't recall an app like that but I'm willing to bet you can get a digital watch to do that

Yeah. When I was trying to cultivate this kind of mindfulness, I used my wristwatch.

It seems Tasks.org let's you set reminders on tasks that can repeat every minute (if you go to the custom option). Maybe have a play with that? It's on F-droid.

I'll check it out
