My Typewriter combines the look and feel of working on a vintage typewriter with the convenience of a modern day word processor. With My Typewriter you have a typewriter to-go right in the palm of your hand. From the Underwood-inspired keystrokes and bell to the randomized ink patterns, this app was designed with the authentic experience of the classic writing machine in mind. Anything you create on My Typewriter can be saved, printed, exported, and uploaded to any platform you would like. Furthermore, the page size of My Typewriter has been optimized for social media posting to give your work the highest aesthetic quality on what’s becoming the chosen platform for the modern day poet. Some advantages My Typewriter has over other typewriter apps are the ability to delete mistakes, a longer page to be better-suited for long-form works, a font randomizer, a selection of vintage fonts to choose from, and the ability to move the cursor around manually in order to play with poetic form or to function like a traditional word-processor. We hope the next wave of Kerouacs, Plaths, and Hemingways use My Typewriter to create their masterworks just as we hope anyone with the inkling to write finds true joy from this virtual typewriter. Writers write, so get to it! Developed by Winnona Partners, LLC https://winnonapartners.com
DozClock

The Dozenal Suite is a set of six apps of dozenal utilities. They run on Apple’s mobiles (with iOS 18 or higher). On any timing device, the day is divided by successive powers of 12, providing metric time reckoning based on twelves rather than tens. The leftmost digit changes every 2 hours (1/12 day), the next digit every 10 minutes, the next every 50 seconds. If displayed, the fourth digit changes every 4 1/6 seconds and the fifth digit every 25/72 second. That's much simpler and easier than the current time reckoning, which uses a mixture of bases 10, 12, 2, and 60. In the dozenal number base, because the number 10 is one dozen, numerals ten and eleven must be single digits. They are represented by the symbols invented long ago by Isaac Pitman: rotated 2 for ten, and rotated 3 for eleven. Those are used by the two major dozenal societies, the Dozenal Society of America and the Dozenal Society of Great Britain. In plain text with dozenal numbers, ten is designated by the letter A, and eleven by the letter B. On either or both of the lock screen and home screen, the DozClock widget displays diurnal time. In the app you choose to start the clock at local midnight or at 6 AM, and for the home screen, to display either three or four digits. The calendar displays the date format yyyy-mm-dd. In the app you choose the traditional calendar or the Holocene. If you start the clock at 6 AM, the times between midnight and 5:59:59 AM are a different color, as a reminder that traditional time reckoning has started a new date.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DozClock at Free against My Typewriter's $1.99. DozClock also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). My Typewriter's advantage is chart position (#198 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
