🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A software patch that restores the 'last used' timer duration as the default setting.
  2. A settings menu feature allowing users to save multiple preset timer durations for quick selection.
  3. A user-configurable 'default timer' setting in the app profile.
