Internet Beat time, or as some know it, Swatch Beats, is a clock which displays time in 'Beats'. A beat is 1/1000 of a day with no time zones. Everyone on the planet sees the same time and as such can be used to coordinate events, chat sessions, or just look cool. This application supports side viewing which displays decimal beats. Feel free to suggest changes and improvements.

The application you have before you is but a small attempt at working with time. Since it's a precious commodity all we can do is spend it wisely. That's why I've decided to spend a bit of my time and create Decima (named after Roman Parca, the female personification of destiny) so that you don't have to ;) So what you can do with Decima? In the current version 1.1 (Joséphine) you can: • create multiple timers • set multiple alerts per timer to track time expenditure • use it on both: your iPhone and Apple Watch (iPhone application is necessary) • start/stop timers on demand from your iPhone/iPad or Apple Watch • organize your time in sets • see total/partial time spent for a particular timer • automatically synchronise data between your iPhone and your Apple Watch (timer started on your phone can be paused on your Apple Watch and vice-versa) Have fun.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Internet Beat at none against Decima's 1. Internet Beat also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Decima's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 48 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
