KitchenAlert for Maemo
|
|
KitchenAlert is a timer application for maemo5 (in practise Nokia's N900 device), designed to suite especially cooking and baking purposes. An early version (0.1) is available. Playing music overrides the alert, and the alert sound is not played. KitchenAlert obeys the volume setting of the device. It is highly recommended to test whether you can hear the alert from where you will be keeping your phone before actually using it to alert you of something. Even more so if using the default sound, which is not really as loud or clear as it should be. |
Features and bugs
The
alert will not be played if the device is playing another sound thatr
overrides it, e.g. when playing music with mediaplayer. |
DownloadYou can install KitchenAlert on your N900 from the extras-devel repository. However, as usual for this repositories, it's not necessarily safe: keep in mind the above cautions on volume settings, losing alert sound and battery drain. Remember to close the repository after installing to avoid unwanted updating of your applications to development versions.Bug reports and feature requests are welcome on the application's garage project page. |
