Remember the old Mac's from the 80's and their monochrome displays and ridiculously slow processing speeds? Oh, how long we had to wait while we stared at that spinning wait cursor... Used as a motif for this watch, this nostalgic wait cursor has been brought back to life in a cool way! The alarm also uses nostalgic alert sounds. It even has an Easter egg. -Caution The alarm and timer are not main functions and are active only while the app is in use. Please understand that the alarm and timer do not function properly. During silent mode, tones for the alarm and timer do not sound.

Service Kits groups the exact spares for recurring jobs. Combine several kits into one pick list, catch shared-stock shortages and work through a temporary packing checklist. HOW TO USE THE UPGRADE 1. Open Today → Service Kits. Create a named job, add instructions and choose spare records with whole-unit quantities. 2. Select one or more kits. Review combined requirements, on-hand stock, missing records and shortages. 3. Tick items as you pack. This checklist does not deduct stock or log a replacement. 4. Export all kits as JSON. Import with a preview and confirmation; when moving devices, restore the matching inventory backup so spare identifiers agree. Keep the parts library, label and barcode comparison, supply-run planning, Bin Cover, replacement history, reminders and inventory backup tools. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 100 kits, 100 lines per kit and 4 MB in the kit file. Shared items are aggregated before stock comparison. Known shortfall costs exclude missing or nonpositive prices, which are counted separately. Kit export contains definitions and notes, not the inventory database; the existing spare backup is separate. Packing checks last for the current visit. iPhone and iPad. No account required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iconclock at Free against HomeSpare's $2.99. iconclock also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). HomeSpare's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
