Toddler Tempo Timer looks like an ordinary countdown. It isn't. Tap Start and it runs like any other timer. But hold the Start button and pull a diagonal — and it launches faster or slower than real time. Five minutes that finish in two and a half. Ten that stretch to fifteen. Nobody watching the screen can tell, because the countdown looks completely normal. It's for the parent who needs five minutes to feel like four, or ten minutes to feel like fifteen. Bedtime, screen time, brushing teeth, and "one more turn" all become a little easier when you're quietly in control of the clock. Features: • Three large wheel pickers for hours, minutes, and seconds — same feel as the iOS Clock app's Timer. • Four customizable speed presets, one per diagonal — fast (NE/SE) shows in green, slow (SW/NW) in red, with intensity scaling proportionally so you can read the speed at a glance. • Hold the Start button and pull. Faint capsule labels appear around the button showing each preset; the one you're pulling toward highlights brightly. Release on a diagonal to start at that speed, or release in the middle for a regular 1× start. • Reset, Pause, and Stop controls sized to Apple Human Interface Guidelines for confident tapping. • Light, Dark, and System appearance. • Customizable alarm tones with built-in previews. • Works on iPhone and iPad. The hidden-speed gesture scales with the button, so the pull feels the same on an iPhone SE as on a 13-inch iPad Pro. • An Apple Watch app runs the same timer, standalone, on your wrist — hidden speeds included. Live mirroring between iPhone and Watch, so start, pause, and finish stay in step across both, is part of Toddler Tempo Pro. Free with a small non-personalized banner ad at the bottom. A one-time $0.99 Toddler Tempo Pro purchase removes the ad permanently and unlocks live timer sync with your Apple Watch. Privacy: see the Support URL for our short plain-English policy. The app makes no network requests of its own; the only outbound traffic is the ad request to Google AdMob and StoreKit calls to the App Store.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plex Dash at none against Toddler Tempo Timer's 1. Plex Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
