A timer app with two personalities. [Mugen-setsu] - Line up as many countdowns as you want under one parent stopwatch. - Start the parent and every child timer runs at once. - Each child rewinds automatically at zero and keeps counting how many laps it has run. - Tap a row to pause/resume it individually; reset from the editor. - Color, label, and minute/second settings. Sound and vibration on every lap. [Kozeriai] - A quick one-shot timer (10 minutes by default). It stops with sound and vibration when it reaches zero. - Everything stays on your device. No account, no network. - Works on iPhone and iPad. For every moment you want repetition counted properly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: altimer at none against TimeSet's 1. altimer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
