Description

Currently, the timer functionality only allows users to set time in minutes only. This limits the usability of the timer for longer duration tasks such as study sessions, focus work, or exams.

Most standard clock/timer applications allow users to set both hours and minutes, which makes time selection more flexible and practical.

Problem

Timer accepts only minute-based input
No option to set hours
Not suitable for long-duration timers (1 hour+)
Less user-friendly compared to standard clock apps

##Expected Behavior
The timer should allow users to set:
Hours (0–23 or similar range)
Minutes (0–59)
And correctly calculate total countdown time.

Suggested Improvement

Add a dual input system for:
Hours input field
Minutes input field
Then convert total time as:
totalTime = (hours × 60) + minutes

Benefit

Improves usability and flexibility
Makes the timer more realistic like a system clock app
Better for study/productivity use cases
Enhances overall user experience
