The stock timer app gives you one timer. Dinner needs four. Trivet runs as many timers as the meal does, side by side, each with its own name, color and alarm. Start one with a tap from the preset row — soft egg, pasta, rice, steak rest, French press — or dial in your own. EVERY TIMER ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Each running timer gets its own Live Activity. Glance at the Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island and see exactly what's about to finish, with +1 minute, pause and stop right there. You never have to open the app to add another minute to the pasta. BUILT TO SURVIVE THE KITCHEN Timers run off the clock, not off the app. Close Trivet, get a call, let your phone sleep — the countdown is still right when you come back, and the alarm still fires. PRESETS THAT MATCH HOW YOU COOK Sixteen to start with, covering eggs, pasta, rice, roasting, tea, pour-over and proofing. Save your own and they live in the row at the bottom, one tap from running. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. No server. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Trivet doesn't ask for a single permission except the one it needs to ring. FREE / PRO Trivet runs two timers at once for free, forever. Trivet Pro is one payment — no subscription — and adds: • Unlimited timers running at the same time • Your own saved presets • Five alarm sounds instead of two • An alert that repeats until you deal with it Good for cooking, but people use it for laundry, parking meters, brewing, workouts, and anything else where two things finish at different times.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MikroTik at none against Trivet's 1. MikroTik also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
