The workshop timer works as stated, but I would like to see the following "improvements". - Set multiple timers. - Able to save timers. For instance I use the 10 minute timer alot and it would be nice if I could just select that timer from a list of saved timers to use. Quite useful for cooking multiple dishes which all have a different cooking time. - Pre-listen the selected timer sound.

Time Workshop - highly customizable timers.
This is an utility to create custom watches and timers. Only stopwatch and countdown timer realized at this time, but a whole lot of features is on the way. Current features (v0.3.1): * Any sound file supported by the system can be used as timer alarm. * The time display precision can be changed from hours to milliseconds. * Countdown timer can be set up to 24 hours. Stopwatch's limit is much further then the computer's. * Preset buttons: some or all settings can be saved to quick buttons and used by a single click (or tap). * Marks list shows saved stopwatch times and time elapsed from the previous mark with editable comment. * The marks can be saved to a file (CSV, HTML or XML). * Extra layouts can be selected in the settings dialog. * Maemo version pauses Media player on alarm and resumes the playback after it. * In desktop version timer window can be transparent and stay on top of other windows. * For advanced users: timer layout and style can be defined in a special file.

This is a great, full-featured app that does it's job well. My only concern is: Starting a count-down that isn't one of the presets, requires at least 5 taps + the setting of the actual countdown time: It's in the menu(1), under Settings(2), ...(3), done(4), done(5), start(6). It would be helpful to have a "Custom Countdown" button on the main screen for quickly defining a non-preset countdown time. Other than that, it does it's job well. I like the red "count-up" after the count-down is finished, allowing me to see just how much overtime has been used.
