Count Down Timer Extension

It is a very simple count down timer. I made this so that user who like less distraction can use it. It contain slider so that user can easily interact and set the time.

It play audio and show notification for ~5 sec once the timer completes. The audio sound doesn't continue for long time so that user don't get too much distracted by that.

Ana K (ID: 0000004ea5c1ca4f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/10/2016 I like this app very useful when cooking but would like the counter to start at 0 hours and 0 minutes. When I open this app it automatically shows 14 hours and 30 min. How can this be changed. Thank you.
