Tameno vs ChipSense CNC

Stop counting. Keep doing. Tameno is your versatile, auto-repeating timer that effectively guides you through any repetitive task. Set an interval between 2 seconds and 20 minutes, and Tameno will gently notify you each time it elapses (with a sound, a flash of your screen, or a haptic vibration) – and then automatically restart. = UNIVERSAL PURCHASE = Tameno is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and enjoy it across your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV! = ANYTHING REPETITIVE BENEFITS FROM TAMENO = I originally built Tameno to solve two very specific daily needs: • Watering the garden: Getting tapped every 30 seconds so I can move to the next hedge plant without losing count. • Brushing my teeth: Getting a 10-second nudge to switch to the next side of each quadrant equally. Since its first release, users have found incredibly creative ways to use it: • Fitness & Health: Running/walking intervals, yoga pose holds, stretching routines, and physical therapy. • Mindfulness: Leading guided meditations, box breathing, and following the 20-20-20 “rule” to reduce eye strain (looking 20m away for 20s every 20 mins). • Productivity: Timing keyframes for manual animations, pacing presentations, and time-boxing tasks. = ALWAYS READY, ON EVERY DEVICE = Tameno provides Audio, Visual, and Haptic feedback perfectly tailored to the device you're using: • Apple Watch: Haptic vibrations (even in the background). • iPhone & iPad: Sound (background/foreground), screen flash (foreground), and vibration (iPhone only). • Mac: Sound, screen flash, Dock icon badging, and a convenient Menu Bar timer. • Apple TV: Sound (background/foreground) and screen flashes (foreground). = WIDGETS & SIRI SHORTCUTS = • Home Screen Widgets: (Available on Apple Watch, Mac, iPhone, and iPad) Quickly access your 'Favorite Interval', see your 'Recently Used' timers, or start a custom interval right from your Home Screen with Interactive Widgets. • Siri Shortcuts: Control Tameno with your voice. Set up custom phrases with custom intervals like “Hey Siri, I’m brushing my teeth” for a 10-second timer, or “Hey Siri, I’m watering my plants” for 30 seconds. --- Should you have any feedback, questions, or just want to say hi, please do not hesitate to contact or connect with me at https://eternalstorms.at/contact I look forward to hearing from you! – Matthias

ChipSense turns your iPhone into a real-time cutting coach for your CNC router or mill. It does something no other app does: it fuses AUDIO and VISION. ChipSense listens to the cut through the microphone to detect the acoustic signature of regenerative chatter and rising tool load, and at the same time reads the wood grain through the camera to spot knots and hard, figured areas before your bit reaches them. It combines both into a single, live Cut Risk — and tells you exactly when to ease the feed, and when to stop. WHY IT MATTERS • Chatter and overload are how bits dull, snap, and ruin a workpiece. They almost always announce themselves in the sound of the cut — a few seconds before the damage. • Hard grain and knots are visible before you hit them. ChipSense sees them coming. • Catch either early and you save bits, save stock, and get a cleaner finish. WHAT YOU GET • Live cut-state read-out: Idle, Nominal, Heavy load, Chatter, Critical. • Chatter detection tuned to reject spindle-synchronous tones (it knows the difference between the normal cut and self-excited chatter). • Camera grain map that highlights knots and hard grain as a live heatmap. • A fused Cut Risk that combines what it hears and what it sees. • A clear feed advisory — ease off, hold, or all clear — with a suggested feed-rate override. • Built-in demo scenarios so you can see exactly how it responds to a knot, chatter, or a clean cut, with no machine and no setup. HOW TO USE IT Prop your iPhone near the cutting zone with a view of the workpiece, start monitoring, and cut. ChipSense advises in real time. It is a monitoring and advisory tool — it does not control your machine directly. Patent pending. Built by machinists, for machinists.
