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.

My comment won't be anything helpful, there are some propositions already.
I just want to give my thought and maybe rant a little, because my Linux nerd mind is screaming to me how this could be done on Linux:

In crontab:

*/30 7-16 * * 1-5 notify-send "Text"

Sending a notification every 30 minutes from monday to sunday from 7am to 4pm with one line of code not needing to create new app.
