What it is

Both time tools in Quick Settings, in one patch — for less than buying the two singles. Swipe down and you get a Stopwatch tile (tap to run/pause, long-press to reset) and a countdown Timer tile (duration picker, floating pill, pause/resume, and a "Timer ended" alert over your document). The first screenshot shows the tiles in the toggle row; the second shows the timer's expiry alert over a notebook.

Features

  • Stopwatch tile — tap = run / pause, long-press = reset; live mm:ss overlay and a floating ⏱ mm:ss pill while running. Auto-resets after >30s of device sleep.
  • Timer tile — tap opens a duration picker (presets 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 45 60 minutes plus min/sec steppers); tap again to cancel; long-press to start-saved, pause, or resume. Live mm:ss overlay.
  • Countdown pill/⏸ mm:ss; tap to stop, long-press to pause/resume; it nudges down when the stopwatch pill is showing too, so both fit.
  • "Timer ended" alert over the document / navigator view — tap to dismiss.
  • Survives restarts — state is written to small files on the device, so counts persist across Quick Settings re-opens and xochitl restarts.
  • Self-contained + private — a plaintext qmldiff patch, no network, no telemetry. You can read every line before installing.
  • Co-tenant safe — every QML id is namespaced (swx* / tmr*) so it won't collide with other installed qmd tweaks.

Requirements

  • reMarkable Paper Pro, firmware 3.26.0.68. Built for firmware 3.26.0.68 exactly — qmldiff patches key off the firmware's QML, so other versions are untested.
  • xovi + the qt-resource-rebuilder extension (free; links in the README).
  • No other paid item required.

Install

Copy one file to the device, restart xochitl the xovi-safe way (exact commands in the README), and both tiles appear in Quick Settings. Uninstall = delete the file, restart, remove the state files. No system files are modified on disk.

Honest caveats

  • This product modifies the on-device user interface at runtime. It contains no reMarkable software; changes are applied to files already present on your device and are fully removed by uninstalling.
  • This combo replaces the standalone Stopwatch and Timer. It is the union of both and reuses their exact element ids, so do not install it alongside the single stopwatch.qmd or timer.qmd — a co-resident single would duplicate ids and clash. Pick the combo or the singles, never both.
  • No alarm sound. reMarkable has no speaker, so timer expiry is visual only. The alert draws over the document and navigator views; if the timer finishes while you're on a bare homescreen with neither open, the alert is silent until you re-open Quick Settings.
  • This patches the system UI via qmldiff (that's what makes QS tiles possible) — unlike our AppLoad apps. The README includes the one-line SSH recovery should any qmd on your device ever misbehave: delete the file, restart. Nothing persistent is touched.
  • qmldiff patches are firmware-sensitive; tested on 3.26.0.68, updates best-effort after firmware releases.

Also available separately

  • Stopwatch (AUD 12) and Timer (AUD 12) as standalone tiles. Buying both singles? This combo is cheaper — and it's one file to install instead of two.
