Loop makes setting timers easier, faster and more beautiful. Start multiple (interval, Tabata, and cooking) timers, create presets, import your own sounds and so much more! - Easy Start: The start screen shows the most recently started timers and your favorites. One tap is enough to start a timer. You can also create a new quick timer with natural-language input: Simply type something like "1h Work, 30m Break" to create a timer with two intervals. Any number of timers can be started in parallel. The first timers will be displayed as nested rings. - Automatic Reset: After a timer expires, the app plays a sound and the timer automatically resets, so you can start it again immediately. Alternatively, you can configure a timer to play the sound like an alarm until you disable it. Loop supports AlarmKit so the alarm is also shown on your Apple Watch (requires at least iOS or iPadOS 26). - Presets: You can save your favorite timers as presets, which can be started with a tap. You can use text or an icon for your presets, and also change the color as you like. You can create multiple categories for your presets, with each category able to customize the app’s default settings. - Interval Timers: You can create interval timers and save them as Presets. The app plays a sound for each elapsed interval and displays it as a small dash on the ring. Additionally, you can name each of them, select repetitions for the intervals, or make the timer repeat automatically. - Choose Sounds: In addition to many included sounds, you can also import your own sound files from the Files app. Start, pause, finish, reset, interval, and background sounds can be selected separately. - Meditation Sounds: You can activate a background sound such as ocean waves or white noise in the settings, which will then be played when a timer is running. It is also possible to switch off the screen in order to concentrate fully on your meditation. - iCloud Sync: Your timers, settings, and sounds sync with your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. - Push Notifications & Live Activities: Loop will send you a push notification when the app is closed if a timer or interval has expired. The sounds selected in the app will also be used for the notification. In addition, a live activity is displayed when timers are running. - And More: Custom app icons, Apple Watch integration, HealthKit support, configure when the screen should stay awake, and countless further options.

Make room for more memories, one photo at a time. Siftello turns a crowded photo library into small, manageable sorting sessions. Choose the photos you want to keep, set aside the ones you might delete, and come back to the maybes when you are ready. Sort 5 photos a day for free. Siftello Premium removes the daily limit. Available plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase. THREE SIMPLE CHOICES Swipe right to keep a photo. Swipe left to add it to Review. Swipe up to decide later. Prefer buttons? Use Keep, Delete, and Later instead. A left swipe does not delete a photo from your library. START WITH A SMALL SESSION Choose 10, 25, or 50 photos, or work through the whole collection. Browse recent photos, months, All Photos, and accessible albums to find a place to start. REVIEW BEFORE YOU DELETE Open the review grid, preview photos at full size, and adjust your selection. Only the photos you select are included in the final deletion request. Siftello asks you to confirm before requesting removal from your photo library. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your collection progress and review queue are saved on your device. Take a break and return to the same cleanup later. Undo a recent sorting choice while you are in a session. YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU Siftello processes your library on your device and does not upload your photos. There is no Siftello account to create. Optional usage analytics and crash and performance reports are off by default; you can change these choices in Settings. Store and purchase services process the information needed to provide paid access. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOUR APP Choose light, dark, or system appearance, pick an accent palette, and adjust haptics, photo details, and swipe hints. ON iPHONE AND iPAD Confirmed deletions use the system photo-library flow. Deleted photos go to Photos' Recently Deleted album; storage may not be reclaimed immediately. Siftello respects the photo access you grant, including limited access.
