Wickly is the cozy way to track how long your candles burn. Light a candle, snap a photo, and Wickly remembers the moment. Watch a live, flickering flame count the minutes, then mark it finished to capture the total burn time — for as many candles as you like. HOW IT WORKS • Light a candle — name it, add a photo, and the timer starts. • Watch it burn — a live elapsed timer with an animated flame and melting wax. • Burn across many evenings — pause and resume, and Wickly adds up every session for an accurate total. • Finish — record the final burn time with a tap (or a finishing photo). INSIGHTS THAT SURPRISE YOU • A weekly burn-activity heatmap — see when you're a true evening burner. • Cost-per-hour and burn rate, so you know which candles are really worth it. • A "time to replace" estimate that learns from your own candles. • Totals, averages, records, and a shareable "Wickly Wrapped" summary. A JOURNAL FOR EVERY FLAME • Capture how a candle makes a moment feel — a note, a haiku, a poem, or a quiet vibe. • Attach each reflection to a candle and tag it with a mood and a scent. • Gentle prompts help you find the words; browse it all as a calm, unhurried journal. SCENTS YOU LOVE • Give each candle a scent, and Wickly surfaces the fragrances you reach for most. ON YOUR WRIST & LOCK SCREEN • A Live Activity and Dynamic Island show a burning candle's time at a glance. • Home and Lock Screen widgets for what's burning now, plus a Control to light one fast. • An Apple Watch app to light, pause, finish, and jot a quick reflection from your wrist. STAY ORGANIZED • Tag candles, note the brand, scent, type, room, and price. • Rate your favorites and flag the ones you'd buy again. • Keep a Wishlist of candles to try and an Inventory of what you own. • Scan a barcode to auto-fill details from a candle you've logged before. GENTLE REMINDERS • An optional "still burning?" nudge and firmer safety reminders so a candle is never forgotten. • A heads-up when a candle is running low — time to reorder. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No feed. Your candles, reflections, and photos are yours — kept on your device and, if you turn on iCloud, synced privately across your devices through your own iCloud account (which we can't see). Back up to Files whenever you like. LITTLE DELIGHTS A hand-drawn animated flame, earn-as-you-burn achievements, Siri shortcuts ("light a candle"), candle-care tips, and CSV / PDF exports of your collection. Whether you're a casual candle lover or a devoted collector, Wickly turns burning a candle into something you can look back on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BISSELL Connect at Free against Wickly's $2.99. BISSELL Connect also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Wickly's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
