The Standard Timer was specifically and specially designed for use in specialty gyms. With standard options for tabata and EMOM, you can easily adapt the timer to work for any workout. The main goal of The Standard Timer was to create a timer where the current time was the focal point of the app. The current time takes up the entire screen, especially great when projected or cast onto larger screens, so everyone in your gym can see it from wherever they are. FEATURES - 5 different modes : Tabata, EMOM, Interval, Stopwatch, Countdown - The ability to add a countdown/warm-up timer to your workout - Quick and easy time adjustment with manual typing and tap (+1, +5, reset) options - HUGE letters that take up the entire screen so everyone can see the time without effort - Remote mode : use this mode from your phone to control other connected devices - Bluetooth capability : Sync multiple devices, for example, control your Mac Mini display using your phone without ever having to touch a keyboard or mouse - Light/Dark Mode capability - Preround/Preworkout sound notifications
Sit Timer

Sit is a meditation timer for people who just want to sit. Set a duration, choose a bell, begin. A gentle sound marks the start and end of your practice. Nothing else gets in the way. Bells — Eight resonant sounds including singing bowl, temple bell, gong, and crystal. Set different bells for the start, interval, and end of your session. Haptic — Prefer silence? Switch to haptic mode and feel the bell instead of hearing it. Prep — A brief countdown before your session so you can set the phone down before it begins. No accounts. No streaks. No distractions. Sit. That's it.

The Standard Timer's advantage is chart position (#200 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
