[feature suggestion] stopwatch step #111
Description
This app is very, very good! Well done!
In my current workout there are exercises that require to repeat a specified lap (group of tasks) for as many times as possible within a certain amount of time. For example, a lap may be composed of task A, B, and C and the exercise is to repeat as many laps as possible in 10 minutes.
With the current version of the app (7.5.0 from f-droid running on Android 10) I found no way of both running a timer and counting laps. The work around is to use another app (standard stopwatch) to time the execution and count the laps.
If such feature is within the scope of TimeR Machine, you might consider creating a new type of step (in addition to those already available: normal, notification, and group) that behaves like a stopwatch.

Thanks for using the app!
To convert a countdown step to a stopwatch, you can add a "Halt" reminder. But your situation requires a stopwatch-like group, which can be a new feature.

Indeed, the "Halt" function is helpful. Considering the example I was proposing:
This transforms the group into a simple stopwatch with no memory of past laps and manual setting of the number of laps (which might be unknown).
It would be nice if TimeR Machine had:

@DeweyReed is there any chance of just getting a plain stopwatch? It would really be cool and helpful to be able to use stopwatch in the app (besides that I have no complain with this app)

@Jansherami Hi, adding a Halt reminder to a step converts it to a stopwatch.
