Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Calendar. Recurring event every 30 minutes with a notification at start.

the shortest google calendar could reoccur an event is 1 day

That’s why you schedule 96 of them. (Please don’t do that - there has to be a better way.)

The lads at Google looking at the data gathered on someone with 48 appointments every day:

Hmm. That is disappointing.

Edit: what if you had a daily event with reminders every 30 minutes. You'd have to manually add the reminders, but you would only have to do that once and it'd still be one event.

That's what I'd do, but I'd make sure:

I could hide the events in my calendar so I could still see the real events I want to keep track of, or
to use a different calendar for this particular thing, or
to assign them their own colour which I can easily ignore.
