- Optimised for iOS 26.
- Launch Screen improved.
- Minor fixes.

- Changed gesture used to switch Timer Output Mode: now it's swipe instead of a tap.
- REMOVED DAYS from the interval picker. Instead we have 99 hours!
- Fixed rare crash with zero interval.
- In Settings added link that leads to app Notification Settings.

Many of my dear users looked for help, since they didn't know how to add a custom sound. Now, I believe, their problem is solved once and forever - I added "+" button to Sounds tab, making this process much more obvious and straightforward. Also, other ways of file import was tested and fixed.

Other fixes and improves include:
- Fix bug when start button on watchOS was cut.
- Fix timer cancellation in Smart Stack on watchOS.
- Fix banners layout issues.
- Now you'll hear timer sound even in Settings tab.
- Fix bug when sound in iOS notification wasn't playing.
- Added more languages!

Dear customers and users, I return to work on this project!
Thanks for all the feedback! It was summarized and I'm fixing the most popular problems first.

iOS:

- Added new settings:
-- Prevent Lock Screen. If ON, the screen will be up while the timer is running.
-- Shake to Start (former Kitchen Mode) - now it's OFF by default.
- Google Analytics removed. No more tracking! It wasn't very useful, anyway.

Watch:

- Vibration selection menu is now a second page, instead of the deprecated Force Touch menu.
- Fixed notification UI.

Fix a bug when the Cancel button in a notification wasn't working.

Update!!!

Finally, I find a time to fix most of the accumulated bugs and make several improvements. Most important are:
- watchOS: Heart rate sensor isn't used anymore
- iOS: Files support
- iOS: Dark color scheme

Thank you for your reviews and patience!

- Change the workout type to "walking" to minimise impact on Move and Exercise rings in Activity app.
- Remove SocialKarama banner from the bottom. (Nobody uses that app anyway).

Dear users! I apologise for missing for quite a long time. I was working on another project. Now I finally returned to Periodic Timer.

I received many reports from you about the problem when the timer writes data to Health and Activity apps as if you were exercising. I spend a lot of time trying to find a way to fix it, but it seems to be impossible. We need the Workout Mode to allow Periodic Timer to run in the background, Health records all this data automatically when and the Workout Mode is on. And the data can't be deleted because apps can only write to Health.

- Fixed crashes.
- Improved iPhone X UI.
- Fixed "Write a review" link.
- Improved description.
- Added ring sound "30 Sec Alert" (+ version only).

Please, support the app with stars!
