Add function to set alarm "... from now"

Summary

Imagine:

  • A washing machine that displays the time remaining
  • A microwave or oven that does so
  • You're cooking rice or whatever

In all of these cases, it would be preferable to not set an alarm by calculating the end time yourself, but by filling in the amount of hours and minutes from now (or, more specifically, from the moment you press the "OK" button).

Description

This could be implemented by:

  • Long-pressing "OK" to set the alarm "from now"
  • Adding a "FROM NOW" (or "TIMER") button next to "CANCEL" and "OK"
  • Adding a checkmark/switch above the aforementioned buttons, name "Set the alarm in x:xx from now" (dynamically setting x:xx to the user input)

Rationale and alternatives

Separate timer features are overrated. It would be much quicker to have this fully integrated in the existing workflow of the app.
