Spacebar Counter
Read full descriptionHide full description
The iOS Spacebar Counter App (also known as the Counter Clicker App) that you can download from the App Store, was inspired by our popular online Spacebar Counter and molded to perfection with suggestions by our web visitors. Our visitors wanted a standalone application that does not require an Internet connection (unlike the online version), and they wanted to be able to count many things at the same time. We were happy to comply with visitors' requests. This app does not require the Internet after it has been installed on your device, and you can count up to four things at the same time. Its potential uses are endless. For example, use it to keep track of and count sports scores, family card games, board games, accomplishments, knitting progress, crochet tally, and so much more. We hope the Spacebar Counter App will become your go-to app for keeping track of and counting different fun activities in your life.
Stopwatch Journal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stopwatch Journal is a precise stopwatch and countdown timer that remembers every run. Instead of timing something and losing the result the moment you reset, Stopwatch Journal saves each session — elapsed time, mode, and every lap — to a journal you can revisit, review, and analyze. Time your way with two modes. Use count-up to measure how long something takes, or set a target and use count-down for intervals, workouts, cooking, and focus sessions. Record laps while the clock runs to break a session into meaningful splits, then keep them for later. Everything you time is saved automatically: - Capture laps with split and total times as you go - Browse past runs in a clean History tab - Spot trends and patterns in the Analysis tab - Choose from multiple stopwatch faces to suit your style - Import and export your journal to move it between devices Stopwatch Journal is designed for practical, repeatable use — training splits, study intervals, kitchen timers, practice sessions, or any routine worth measuring. The interface stays out of your way so you can start, lap, and save in seconds, then come back later to see your progress. Available in many languages with light and dark themes, Stopwatch Journal gives you a dependable timing companion that keeps a full record of your work — not just the current run.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Stopwatch Journal at Free against Spacebar Counter's $0.99. Stopwatch Journal also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 44 months). Spacebar Counter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
