Read full description

A focus timer worth looking at. Most focus timers look like a spreadsheet with a countdown in it. This one is built the other way round. A single enormous numeral, bleeding off the edge of a field of acid green. Behind it, a mechanism that moves in time with the clock and never drifts. Rings that bounce, breathe, ripple inward, or pass momentum down a Newton's cradle. A square whose perimeter burns like a fuse, four seconds a side, for box breathing. When you start a session the whole field inverts to black and the numbers light up like something switched on behind them. Tap anywhere to start. Swipe to change the color. You never have to open a menu. 25/5, 50/10, 90/20, or count up. The classic pomodoro, longer ultradian blocks, or open-ended flow when you don't want a deadline. Timed properly. Built on timestamps, not ticks. Lock your phone, switch apps, come back: it is exactly where it should be. It tells you when you are done, even with the screen off. No account. No sync. No data leaves your phone. ACID INTERVAL PRO One payment unlocks all eight mechanisms, all ten colorways, and custom interval lengths. The timer itself is free and always will be.

Verdict

The call

BbigTimer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
