Time works in sixties. SixtySum does the base-60 math for you, so 50 minutes plus 20 minutes is 1 hour 10 minutes — not 70. Tap H, M, or S, type the numbers, and go. No colon to fumble with. No menus to dig through. No internet to wait for. WHO IT'S FOR Video editors, streamers, audio and stage crews, and anyone who works by the clock and needs the total now — not after another web search. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Add and subtract HH:MM:SS values - Switch instantly between H / M / S input - Drop in 15m / 30m / 45m with a single tap - Chain calculations without stopping - See negative results for time differences - Review your last 20 calculations at a glance QUIET BY DESIGN - One-time purchase — buy it once, keep it - No ads - No subscription - No login or account - No tracking - Works fully offline SixtySum stays out of your way and just gives you the number.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SixtySum at Free against Back's $0.99. SixtySum also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). Back's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
