Hi,
I’ve found the setting to give me an audio alert when the timer expires, but it also enables a ticking sound as the timer runs! How do I enable the alert without the tick?
Thanks.

Hi Paul! Which app (and version) are you using this on?

Hi,
I’m using the Windows Desktop app, v10.8.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.
I did notice there is an option to change the sound to something other than ticking, but no option to turn it off (unless all sound is turned off.)
Thank you.

I had the same question. I solved it by following these steps:)
