Widget Timer puts beautiful, customizable timers right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Pick the timer type that fits the moment, style it to match your setup, and keep it only a glance away. Every timer type, in one app: - Countdown: count down the days to a birthday, holiday, wedding, or trip, and let it roll over automatically every year. - Count Up: track the time since an anniversary, a milestone, or the day you started something new. - Progress: see how far through the week, month, quarter, or year you are. - Stopwatch: count elapsed time up from zero, starting and stopping as you go. - Standard: a simple one-shot timer that counts down (or up) to a set duration. - Repeat: a timer that repeats a set number of times, or infinitely, for periodic reminders like stretching or drinking water. Widgets, done right: - add timer widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen - interactive widgets, so you can start and stop your timers without opening the app - customize the theme of each widget, or pick one from a gallery of over 50 themes More to love: - run as many timers as you like, all at once - name every timer (emoji supported) - lots of alert sounds to choose from - multiple finished modes - local notifications alert you when the app is in the background (no network required) - long press to re-order the timers on the main screen - works with Siri and Shortcuts Some features require a purchase of either a Premium Subscription or a Premium Lifetime Unlock.

Clickeaste el link falso. No pasó nada. 24Defend bloquea los sitios maliciosos en el momento exacto en el que hacés click sin dejarlos cargar — desde SMS, WhatsApp, correo o el navegador. Vos no tenés que hacer nada. Gratis para siempre. Sin cuenta. Sin configurar. CÓMO FUNCIONA Cada vez que abrís un link, 24Defend revisa ese sitio. Si es una imitación hecha para robarte datos, corta la conexión antes de que la página aparezca y te avisa. Funciona igual en todas las apps: no importa si el mensaje llegó por SMS, WhatsApp, correo, navegador o si copiaste el link a mano. EL ANÁLISIS PASA EN TU TELÉFONO Cerca del 99,8% de las verificaciones se resuelven en tu dispositivo, con listas de bloqueo y un modelo de inteligencia artificial que corren localmente. Tu tráfico no se enruta por servidores externos y el contenido nunca se lee. Solo cuando aparece un dominio sospechoso que nunca vimos se envía el nombre de ese dominio a nuestros servidores, para investigarlo. Nada más: ni el contenido de las páginas, ni tus mensajes, ni los sitios que visitás normalmente. QUÉ VAS A VER • Un aviso en el momento del bloqueo, con el dominio que se intentó abrir y a quién estaba imitando • Un registro de todo lo que se bloqueó, se alertó o se verificó como legítimo • Reportes semanales de lo que pasó en tu teléfono • Un botón para activar la protección SIN CUENTA Y SIN DATOS PERSONALES No pedimos email, teléfono ni registro. No hay perfil de usuario. No vendemos datos y no usamos SDKs de publicidad ni de analítica de terceros. SOBRE LA CONFIGURACIÓN DE VPN Para protegerte todo el tiempo, 24Defend crea una configuración de VPN local en tu iPhone. Es local: la revisión se hace acá adentro, en tu teléfono. No es de las VPN que desvían tu navegación a otro servidor — tu navegación no se desvía a ningún lado. Podés desactivarla desde la app cuando quieras. HECHO EN URUGUAY 24Defend está desarrollado por TONLER S.A.S. en Montevideo, con foco en las campañas de fraude que circulan en Uruguay y la región: falsas devoluciones de impuestos, encomiendas retenidas, avisos de organismos públicos y suplantación de bancos y billeteras digitales. Gratis para todas las personas físicas. Política de privacidad: https://www.24defend.com/privacy-es.html
