Q: App for auto-shutting alarms

I need an apple watch app that would set alarms with vibration, auto-shutting after 5-10 seconds, so that it doesn't keep vibrating forever.

 

It is for work, I need to be aware of time passing, and I cannot look at or interact with my watch at all during that time.

 

I found a few training apps with repeat timers, but they usually vibrate for too short a time for me to even notice.

 

It seems so simple a feature, I can't believe how long it's taking me to find the right app.

 

Actually, I need either a repeat timer app that allows a longer, more intense vibrating pattern, or an alarm app that auto stops after a set amount of time. And it should be apple watch compatible.

 

I'm sure such a thing exists!

Thanks for your help!

    Would the Timer app on your iPhone work for you instead of using your watch? The Circuit ringtone vibrates seven times.

    Hi

     

    If you find apps that do not fully meet your requirements, but that come close, you may wish to contact the developers and suggest that they consider adding the additional features that you would like to see included.

     

    Besides considering training / fitness-related apps, you may also find it helpful to search for apps that focus on offering timers for productivity and study purposes (such as Be Focused).

    To filter your search efforts most efficiently, you may find it helpful to search for apps via the Watch app on your iPhone.

     

    Searching for apps via the Watch app (using the "Search" tab) automatically restricts the results to iPhone apps that include an Apple Watch app.
