How do I create an alert with no buttons, which disappears after a preset time?

Thanks all.

@grant.mccallum, I have came up with a simple timer.  
**Please read the entire post carefully, before replying!**

You can modify the timer’s seconds by going into the “Timer” section in blocks ⬇.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/e/6e8174a3724b4428933a42fdf721646b0373ed6d.png)

You can preview the timer here: [Thunkable - Project](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/65843658827db3f235dbf62b)

You can **copy** the project, and then **save** the screen, to put it in your project and modify it all you want.

Learn how to **save** the screen here: [Save and Reuse Screens - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/screen/save-and-reuse-screens)

I have made it, so the timer starts after **5 seconds** , and then the timer is a 10 second timer, which goes off after **10 seconds** , no buttons. (Look at the Blocks in the project to understand).

The alarm sound will stop within a few seconds after the alarm goes off, so no buttons needed, I did add some, just for testing purposes but you can delete them, and the timer will still work.

\*Note, that this is a very simple timer. A more complicated one, will be a little more challenging.
