You know looking at a clock and realizing an hour passed and its done is free, and easy to accomplish with the features already built into your phone and most houses.

I have a front loader that takes anything from 1.5 - 3 hours depending on water temperature, load size etc.

It may tell me 2 hours when I start it, and still be going 2 hours 20 minutes later.

The dryer next to it is even worse when it comes to guessing duration, so having a notification pop up next to me is helpful.
