Audible Countdown Timer

The Focus mode live activities countdown timer seems useful. It would be great to have an intermittent audible announcement of how much time is left as well (either connected to focus mode or on its own).

Routinery is one example you can look toward, that does this. They give options for a 10, 5, and 1 minute time-left announcement.

1Timer is another app I’ve used for this feature. This one allows even greater customization.

Like Routinery, it would also be great to have an option other than turn the sound off/on for each individual event. There may be certain situations where we don’t the time left announced aloud, for example in a meeting. But in the gym, on a run, doing work, schoolwork, a countdown timer may be more useful.

I use 1Timer sometimes if I’m in the gym to keep me on track (Parking is only free there for 90 minutes), or during my morning routine before work- taking away the need to keep looking at my phone or the time.
