About Break.Down.Timer

This is a handy timer that lets you set notifications ("breaks") during the timer's duration. Imagine this scenario: You have 45 minutes for a walk and should return halfway through. So, set the timer duration to 45 minutes, define a break at the halfway point, and start the timer. You will now receive a notification (audio, vibration, device notification) once the halfway point is reached, AND, of course, when the entire time has elapsed. Other scenarios include notifications every 15 minutes to keep track of the elapsed and remaining time. Or to receive notifications shortly before the timer expires.
