Free, no ads and an EUPL-1.2 licence
Foto Timer costs nothing and shows no ads. There are no in-app purchases and no paid version to upgrade to.
The code is published under the EUPL-1.2 licence, and the source is hosted on Codeberg. Developer Jan Exner also maintains a project page on his own website.
Processes and chaining for gym sets and film developing
Foto Timer works with processes. Each process defines how the app counts and how often it beeps. Processes can be chained, so one can start another automatically, which suits multi-step routines.
The developer names gym intervals as a typical use, along with developing analogue film and meditation. A manual and a how-to guide for Tabata exercises are linked from the developer's site. The listing carries 8 screenshots.
