MIDI has been used to control synthesizers and sequencers for years. It's easy to use, and there are hundreds of inexpensive controllers. With MIDI Camera, Secret Base Design brings MIDI to iOS photography. Use a MIDI controller, foot pedal, or an app, to take photographs or record video. MIDI signals can be sent wirelessly, using either WiFi or Bluetooth, or using adapters with a camera connection kit. The precise timing available with MIDI makes it easy to synchronize multiple cameras, or to take carefully spaced photos for time lapse photography. Triggering camera photos and videos electronically can make stop-motion animation easier!
DigitalSand

The Digital Hourglass app is a timer app that displays and sounds (or even vibrates) the "sense of time passing like sand falling," making it easy to create short periods of focus or relaxation routines. It's less rigid than a timer that simply counts down, and it offers a more calming experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DigitalSand at Free against MIDI Camera's $0.99. MIDI Camera's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
