Announcement Useful Timer vs ACCESS

Voice Timer! Spoken updates every minute. Even when you are not looking at the screen, this app tells you how much time is left. Announcement Useful Timer is available on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. You can choose the free version or the paid, ad-free PRO version. Announcement Useful Timer can count down preset items and times, as well as your own custom items and times. It announces the remaining item and time every minute, gives a 10-second countdown before completion, and plays your selected music or sound when time is up. Use it as a cup noodle timer, kitchen timer, nap timer, and more. You can run multiple timers at the same time and quickly set them from the always-visible number input at the bottom of the screen. Shortcut buttons are available on the right (long-press to assign different items). Items are shown in a list, frequently used timers are ranked to the top, and you can start timers from history or favorites. Swipe left on a list item to delete it. You can cancel an active countdown from the top of the list. When end music is playing, you can stop it by swiping, tapping the stop button, or shaking your device. Each list item has a settings button on the left where you can configure timer values, labels, voice/music settings, and notification behavior. If you prefer, you can disable the every-minute voice announcements in settings. Pause, resume, and clear buttons are also available for all timers. You can use two timer types: - Countdown timer (set a duration) - Time-of-day timer (notify at the next specified time) *Voice announcements are available only while the app is in the foreground.* To prevent accidental taps in the foreground, a lock button is provided at the top-left of the right shortcut area. In the background, only the end notification is available. Note: Due to iOS API behavior, sounds may play even when Silent Mode is on (voice speech will not play). --- App Features --- ・Quick and easy timer setup using the buttons at the bottom of the main screen. ・Set timers simply by selecting from a list. ・Run multiple timers in parallel. ・Set labels and receive voice notifications. (Every minute, plus 30/15/10 seconds before completion. These can be toggled in settings.) ・Use your own music from iPhone/iPod/iPad for alerts and end sounds. (Foreground only) ・Set music to start from a specific point (for example, the chorus). ・Use two timer types: countdown and specific end time. ・Assign frequently used timers to the shortcut buttons on the right. ・Adjust voice pitch and speech rate. --- Free Version vs PRO Version --- This app is available in both Free and PRO (paid) versions. The PRO version is ad-free. The area used for ads in the Free version is replaced with more list and button space, providing a more comfortable experience. There is no difference in timer functionality.

ACCESS — the scroll has a bottom. Set clearer screen-time boundaries on one iPhone, for yourself or with a parent. Choose your apps, decide when they should pause, and keep the rules together in one place. THREE WAYS TO SET A BOUNDARY • Quiet hours: close your selected apps at scheduled times, such as bedtime, even when use allowance remains. • Regular Lock: iOS counts actual use across your selected apps. When their shared allowance runs out, they lock for the duration you chose. There is no session to start. • Daily limit: set one combined daily allowance for the selected apps, not a separate allowance per app. It resets at 4 AM. Use the features separately or together. A Lock ending does not override Quiet hours or a reached Daily limit. Home keeps the clock and current restriction visible, with quick links to the same controls in Settings. A PASSCODE WHEN YOU NEED ONE Parents can add a six-digit ACCESS passcode during setup or later in Settings. It protects changes to the app's settings and early-release actions on this phone. During a restriction, tap Unlock now and enter the passcode to open the selected apps for 15 minutes, when Temporary unlock is enabled. A running Lock pauses and resumes with its remaining time. End Lock early is a separate passcode-protected action; Quiet hours and the Daily limit still apply. The passcode is optional for personal use. Without one, settings are not parent-protected; an early release requires creating a passcode first. Normal scheduled endings remain automatic. You can also start a voluntary Lock now without entering the passcode when no restriction is already active. ACCESS uses individual Screen Time permission. Its local passcode cannot prevent deleting ACCESS or revoking that permission. No child account is required for local setup. Remote monitoring and remote unlock are not included. BASIC, PRO AND PRO FAMILY Basic is free and covers one selected app with the core Lock, Quiet hours and Daily limit controls. Individual Pro covers up to 50 individually selected apps on your Apple Account, with their use counted together. It also adds extended event history and widgets. Pro Family includes the same Pro features, shared with up to five other members of your Apple Family Sharing group. Only the subscription is shared: apps, rules, passcodes, Screen Time permission and usage remain separate on each device. To share Pro Family, enable Share with Family for ACCESS in iPhone Settings → Family → Subscriptions → Manage Subscriptions. Each member installs ACCESS with their own Apple Account and sets up Screen Time locally. If Pro has not appeared, use Restore Purchases in ACCESS. Purchase Sharing is not required for subscription sharing. Individual Pro is not shareable. Subscriptions are available monthly or yearly and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Apple shows the local price and renewal terms before confirmation. Manage or cancel in Apple's subscription settings. A three-day trial is shown only when Apple confirms eligibility; introductory eligibility is shared across the ACCESS Pro subscription group. PRIVATE, LOCAL AND STRAIGHTFORWARD Stats shows iOS Screen Time information and events ACCESS recorded, not invented "time saved." Settings → Advanced → Activity log lists protection events. Protection Health helps check permission and counting status. No ACCESS account, advertising, analytics or ACCESS server. ACCESS does not upload selected-app tokens, passcodes or usage history. Local passcode credentials use the device-only Keychain. Terms of Use: https://shaikhjamir.github.io/access-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://shaikhjamir.github.io/access-legal/privacy.html
