Select a randomly selected range of concentration time. (Example: 10 to 30 minutes) 2. Reward settings.

(Example: "Push-ups 20 times", "Smartphone 2 hours prohibited", "Today's sweets prohibited", etc. It is possible not to set a punishment game.) 4. Notify you of the end of the timer. 5.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RandomTimer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Notification has 71 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Random Notification's written reviews are positive against 0% of RandomTimer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Random Notification ships an update every 2 months, RandomTimer every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
