About

One Tap Timer

Features
Read full description

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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: One Tap Timer at none against ElevationCheck's 1. One Tap Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). ElevationCheck's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
