Decima
Read full descriptionHide full description
The application you have before you is but a small attempt at working with time. Since it's a precious commodity all we can do is spend it wisely. That's why I've decided to spend a bit of my time and create Decima (named after Roman Parca, the female personification of destiny) so that you don't have to ;) So what you can do with Decima? In the current version 1.1 (Joséphine) you can: • create multiple timers • set multiple alerts per timer to track time expenditure • use it on both: your iPhone and Apple Watch (iPhone application is necessary) • start/stop timers on demand from your iPhone/iPad or Apple Watch • organize your time in sets • see total/partial time spent for a particular timer • automatically synchronise data between your iPhone and your Apple Watch (timer started on your phone can be paused on your Apple Watch and vice-versa) Have fun.

Display .beat time on your iPhone, Apple watch or iPad. Convert your local 24-hour time to .beat time and vice-versa. Set an alarm or a notification for defined .beat times. Swatch Internet Time (.beat time) is a decimal time concept with no timezone introduced in 1998 by the Swatch Group. Instead of hours and minutes, the solar day is divided into 1000 parts called ".beats".

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: @Beat at none against Decima's 1. Decima's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
