  A NE555 could be sufficient and even more reductionist. =;-) Circuit example https://theorycircuit.com/ic-555-ic-741/adjustable-duty-cycl...

    This does the typical "two short buzzes with a break in between". I think that would be hard with a singe NE555, and of course much more annoying/complicated to fine-tune.

    Also, the random delay between the notifications.

      Ah, right. With two buzzes it gets complicated again.

    A CD40106 could do the same and would even be more reductionist (and uses less current).

  Really needs an update, the No-Tiff-ier, that also doesn't display an image, in addition to the other features.

  For 2026, the No-Tiff-AIer extension is planned to also not bury you in slop.
