Are you aware of the ability to configure start-up settings for each timer by long pressing the start button and that just doesn't fit your needs? If so, those dialogs could be extended with another button, like "Save state" or "Remember settings".

Right, I've noticed this as well. Recent updates were mainly done by me, but uploads were done by Ade. He was feeling like counting the last digits up a bit, and since I've been a maintainer for cooktimer there hasn't been an update that I thought was justifying counting up the version number. What could be new features to release v1.0? Save and load backup of dishes and notes, darken timers a bit in stopwatch mode and import recipes into a dish's notes from an external textfile?
