It is called a lux minute minder.
Amazon.com: Lux CP2428-59 Mechanical Classic Timer, White: Kitchen & Dining
If you think it is too loud jsut put it in a drawer to make it quiter. It ticks but if its in a drawer you wont hear the ticker. It goes off after an hour and turns itself off after 3 seconds.
What's so special about it? My phone can do alarms at infinite times of night with auto-dismissal, auto-snooze, custom ringtone, with lights or without lights, etc.
...and the app was infinitely less than $10.. it was free.
AFAIK that thing just does one alarm, and just like any another timer.
^ To be fair, I have seen a lot of people looking for an alarm that will shut off automatically after a short enough time...what phone/app anyway?
The auto-shutoff on this would be good I guess, but yeah, it's not too hard to find/make your own for free, and only having an hour before it goes off doesn't seem very convenient.
I use Lucid Dreamcatcher for Android. It does all that, and more.
And it's free.
The reason it is great, was the thing your speaking was NEVER mentioned in any threads. So your method was something the members on this site did not know anything about. What exactly is an APP? Where do I get an APP? I have never heard of that. And my phone has no alarm that turns itself off either. It seems good if you don't know what the hell an APP is or where to get one. Not everyones phone comes with an alarm that shuts itself off.Quote:

How do I know which model/type of Nokia has an alarm that shuts itself off? Nokia is a brand, not a model, do all Nokias have an app with an alarm thats shuts itselff off?Quote:

You can set it to auto-shutoff after so many seconds or minutes.
@nakedalbino
Smartphones, (usually touch-screen phones, the newer ones) usually have "app markets" or "application stores."
Apps are just like computer programs, except for your phone. iPhone and Android are the two biggest ones, so I'm not sure if this application is available on your Nokia.
Android phones are many different brands, from HTC, Samsung, LG, etc. etc.
Cheers guys when my galaxy S2 arrives ill be sure to check out theses apps.
You know, I've been looking for an alarm clock since I don't have a phone or a pc with speakers in my room. I never once thought about a kitchen timer though, so thanks for this!
I am still glad I made this thread. Do you think that a newb who has never DEILD before wants to go out and buy a $200 dollar phone? No. The phone thing is very expensive. First they DEILD with a kitchen timer. Then when they are ready they buy the phone. I agree though, its a good idea to move onto the phone eventually.
Its only free if you have an android phone. Not everyone has one of those. And they cost like 150 dollars. Its not free.Quote:

Don't forget that you can wake yourself up naturally with enough practice. It's a good skill to have :P
I also use lucid dream catcher on my android phone.
Thanks for this thread. A lot of people without a smart phone would love this.
FYI most people do have an android or iPhone. So using the app would be smarter. But like I said some people do not have these phones.
This isn't a discussion to talk about phones or apps. If you don't want to use the kitchen timer then move on to the next thread unless you have something PRODUCTIVE. To say against it.
I am making a Dream Journaling / LD Statistic Monitoring / Technique Recommendation program called reLuDr. reLuDr will be ABSOLUTELY FREE SOFTWARE under the GNU General Public License. Of course it will contain an advanced alarm system to use with CAN-WILD or anything that supports custom WAV sounds.
Release date: late August to early November (not sure) and will get updates every one or two weeks, probably more frequently towards the beginning.
I can also recommend Alarm Clock Plus for Androids. Works like a charm, you can pick the sounds or just vibrate if you prefer that. Just use the auto-snooze/auto-dismiss function..
