Loop vs One Tap Timer

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.

A timer that is already running when you open it. Your preset (1:30 by default) starts the moment the app opens. Put it on your watch face as a complication and it is truly one tap. At the end it taps your wrist once, and that is it. No endless buzzing, nothing to dismiss. • Starts instantly. No setup screen in the way • The whole screen drains like water, so you can read the remaining time without reading numbers • Remaining time shown large in plain seconds, with a small 1:33 below • It stays put while running instead of dropping back to the watch face, so the haptic lands exactly at zero • Press the Digital Crown to stop. Nothing keeps running in the background • A stray touch while running does nothing. Tap the finished screen to run it again • Pause from the top-left button. The water turns gray so you can tell at a glance • 10 seconds to 60 minutes, set with −10s / +10s, −60s / +60s, or the Digital Crown • Design the watch-face complication: 5 symbols, 4 rings, how the number shows, size, typeface, 10 colors • The complication shows your preset in seconds (e.g. 90) • Works on Apple Watch alone. The iPhone app is where you pick the look, and it goes to the watch right away • No network, no account, no ads Made for people who time the same thing again and again: rests, steeping, waiting, drills.
