Turnio is an app for the gamers who don't just want to pick who goes first but also want to have some fun while doing it. We felt most turn selectors are a little sterile so we made one with random fun pictures for your enjoyment. How to use: (simple!) - Everyone rests their finger on and waits - The app will randomly select who goes first - In case of a disagreement, tap on RESET to go again (remember: games are more fun when you don't argue)

Feel the time. Not the noise. Haptic Pulse Timer is a countdown timer that replaces loud alarms with silent vibration alerts. Set your duration, pick a haptic pattern, and let your phone do the rest — quietly. Why haptic? In meetings, libraries, shared offices, or late at night — there are moments when sound is not an option. Haptic Pulse Timer was designed for those moments. No beeps. No rings. Just a pulse. 4 vibration patterns - Steady — a consistent, rhythmic pulse - Heartbeat — a natural double-tap beat - Rapid — fast bursts that demand attention - Gentle — soft waves for a calm alert Tap any pattern to preview how it feels before starting your timer. Always visible Your countdown appears in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity. Glance at your phone, see the time left — no need to unlock or open the app. Simple by design One screen. No accounts. No subscriptions. Set your time with + and − controls, hold to adjust faster, hit Start, and go. Haptic Pulse Timer stays out of your way until it's time to alert you. Customizable alert duration Choose how long the vibration plays when your timer ends — from 10 seconds up to continuous — so you never miss it. Home screen widgets Small and medium widgets let you see your timer status at a glance without opening the app. Perfect for meditation, cooking, power naps, focus sessions, workouts, or any moment where silence matters.
