You can't concentrate just by setting the timer normally. I'm used to it. I want more gameplay. It is an application that can be recommended for those who have such troubles. With this app, the time to concentrate on work is randomly determined, and if you can concentrate, you will be rewarded, and if you cannot concentrate, the punishment game will be randomly determined, so you will be thrilled and thrilled. --App functions --- 1. Select a randomly selected range of concentration time. (Example: 10 to 30 minutes) 2. Reward settings. (Example: "Watch a movie", "Read a manga", "Play a game for an hour", etc. It is possible not to set a reward.) 3. Punishment game settings. (Example: "Push-ups 20 times", "Smartphone 2 hours prohibited", "Today's sweets prohibited", etc. It is possible not to set a punishment game.) 4. Notify you of the end of the timer. 5.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RandomTimer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Reminders has 56 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of RandomTimer's written reviews are positive against 58% of Random Reminders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RandomTimer ships an update every 5 days, Random Reminders monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
