Multiple overlapping named timers, fired off without having to touch anything? Get in! Once I start the mixes, everything runs from paper though. Maybe somewhere a long way down the line I’ll make an Alexa skill, but it’s not a priority.

Yeah, named timers are A+ and also having basic math functions at hand is great. We have a couple different tasks that need to be started at a certain time each day, so we also have reminders that go off at said time.

Yeah, the calculation stuff is so handy.
