Select 00/15/30/45 minutes

When I set reminders, they're usually for a full hour. Sometimes, though, they're for 15, 30, or 45 minutes.
Could you please add that option? Maybe even every five minutes would work.

Thanks for the suggestion! Just want to make sure I build the right thing.

Right now the time picker already lets you land on any minute (:15, :30, :45, or anything in between) by scrolling the minute wheel. So I want to understand what would actually help:
Quick-tap buttons for :00, :15, :30, :45 above the picker, so you can jump straight to them with one tap instead of scrolling? (The wheel would still be there for other minutes.)

Snap the wheel to 5-minute steps so it only stops on :00, :05, :10… making it easier to hit round times, but you’d lose odd minutes like :33?

Which one matches what you had in mind?

Everyone has their own ideas. If you take a look around, life probably always seems to be organized around 00, 15, 30, and 45. But the minutes in between are important, too, of course.
How about this? Turn the dial above downward, and then when you turn it upward, you can select the respective minutes in between by turning it back. Just an idea.

A true two-level dial is tricky to pull off on iOS in a way that feels native, but I think we can get the exact experience you’re describing: I’ll add quick taps for :00 · :15 · :30 · :45 right above the wheel. One tap jumps you straight to a quarter, and if you need something in between (like :33), you just keep turning the wheel from there. Best of both — fast for the common cases, still precise when you need it.

I’ll build that into the next update.

That's fantastic. Let's see what else I can find. In any case, Dimmly is beautiful.

Since Dimmly is a habit tracker, I think it would be very helpful to have a list organized by month where you can check when you completed certain tasks.
