StartStopTimer is a simple stopwatch application with 4 tables in which you can store times. The first table stores start and stop times (like a stopwatch) and the other 3 tables store just the start times. The other tables display the delta time from one start time to the next. Times are sorted by day with the number of times per day shown as well.
Ready Freddy Routines

Ready Freddy makes routines easier to start, follow, and finish by planning backward from when you need to be done. Set a target finish time, add the tasks in your routine, and estimate how long each task will take. Ready Freddy automatically calculates when you need to start. If a future day will look different, adjust that scheduled routine ahead of time by adding or removing tasks or changing durations. Your planned start time updates for that day while your reusable routine stays intact. When it’s time to begin, follow your routine one task at a time with a live timer, optional reminders, spoken updates, and Live Activities that keep the current task visible. Use Ready Freddy for morning and evening routines, getting ready for work, chores, self-care, or any repeated part of your day. Ready Freddy helps you: • Build reusable routines from individual tasks • Give each task an estimated duration • Set a target finish time and see when you need to start • Schedule recurring routines by day of the week • Add one-off routines to your calendar • Customize future occurrences without changing the original routine • See today’s scheduled routines in one place • Follow a step-by-step timer while a routine is active • Get optional reminders when the current task is due or overdue • Keep the current task visible with Live Activities • Hear optional spoken timing updates • Compare planned and actual time in routine history Whether time feels slippery, you’re trying to get out the door on time, or you want a clearer picture of how long things actually take, Ready Freddy gives you a plan you can see, adjust, and follow.
