Intervallical vs Rossino

Intervallical is a simple to use countdown timer with three distinct modes of operation: Simultaneous, Consecutive, and Intervallic. Simultaneous mode starts the two user-defined timers at the same moment, and then notifies the user when each of the two reached zero. Consecutive mode works similarly to the Simultaneous mode, but the difference is that the second timer fires off after the first one hits zero. This is a take on the classic „Pomodoro” timer, in which a 25-minute study session is followed by a 15-minute break to „recharge the batteries” before another 25-minute session takes place. The third, and the last mode of operation, is the Intervallic mode, which may seem a little peculiar, but adds a different flavour into the mix. The way it works is that the user defines a specific time interval for the second timer to start. Say that the user set the first timer for 4 minutes and the second for 6 minutes, with the interval in-between being set for 1 minute. The second timer, which was initially set for 6 minutes, will fire only when the first timer will reach 3 minutes. That way the countdown for the second timer can be „delayed” by the user-specified interval. The app was built so that it is easy to use, with controls (and UI) that are familiar to iOS users. Simply add a new card, which contains your predefined timers, and you are ready to go. Start the countdown by tapping the middle of the circle, tap once again to pause, and tap twice to reset the timers. That’s all there is to it.

Rossino is a free pomodoro timer for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Everything below is included at no charge unless it is marked (Pro). Rossino Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, purchased in the app, that connects the timer across your devices: start a focus session at your desk, pick up your phone, and the countdown reads the same second on both. THE TIMER • Classic pomodoro flow: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a long break every fourth session. Every duration and the cycle length can be changed. • When a session ends, a chime plays and Rossino asks what comes next: start the break, start another focus session, or stop. It never steals your keyboard. Auto-start is available in Settings if you would rather not be asked. • The cycle row shows your day at a glance: red tomatoes for focus, green for breaks. Solid means finished, hollow means skipped, dimmed means not yet reached. It resets each morning. • A notification with sound at every phase change, with Start, Pause, and Skip actions right on the notification. EVERYWHERE YOU GLANCE • Mac: a countdown in the menu bar, always visible, plus full keyboard and menu control. • iPhone: a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, StandBy, a Control Center toggle, and Home Screen quick actions. • iPhone Duo: folded, the full timer on the outer display; opened in landscape, the timer and your week's chart side by side. • Widgets in every size on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, including Lock Screen accessories and Apple Watch complications. STATISTICS • Today's sessions, focused minutes, breaks taken, and your streak. • A 7-day chart on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. • Statistics sync between your devices for free, so your history follows you to a new device. ROSSINO PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION, PURCHASED IN THE APP) The free app is a complete timer for one device, and your statistics already sync. Pro adds two things, and only these two require a purchase: • Live timer sync (Pro). Start, pause, or skip on one device, and the others follow, to the second. Without Pro, a second device shows what is running elsewhere but cannot join in. • Full history (Pro): charts and trends beyond the last 7 days. Pro is one subscription that covers Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch: $3.99 per month, or $24.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account to create and no tracking of any kind. Rossino contains no ads and no analytics. Your timer and history live on your devices and in your own iCloud database, which we cannot read. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
