I admittedly have not used too many yet, but one thing that I have not seen with any existing timer apps, and which is sortof what I envision the app to be, is basically a stack of progress bars that are colored differently depending on the spell. As the timer approaches zero, the progress bar would get increasingly smaller, and perhaps give off a one-minute warning or text to speech of some sort for that particular spell. I think having the progress bars always visible would be a nice benefit and allow you at a quick glance to determine what needs refreshing the soonest and in what order. Maybe the app could also auto-sort the spells by time remaining so you can just check the top of the list to get the most important information.

So for instance if I have excess mana available I could check whichever progress bars are the lowest and refresh those, and continue doing that to be proactive in keeping things topped up. This type of visual could also be helpful in setting up a proper buff stagger, which I rarely seem to be able to get setup consistently.
