Most timers count to zero. FulwaveTimer runs your whole routine ā built from stages, each with its own length, color, and most important sound. Intervals, Pomodoro focus blocks, breathing exercises, a speech you're rehearsing, a sleep wind-down: set the structure once, press play, and follow along by sound, on your Lock Screen, or from your wrist. BUILD IT YOUR WAY ⢠Multistage timers ā add as many stages as you like, each with its own duration and color. ⢠Per-stage sound ā play an audio track you own, or have the app read text aloud with a voice and speed you choose. ⢠Independent transitions ā set how each stage's audio starts and ends on its own: Cut, Fade, or Crossfade into the next stage. ⢠Per-stage haptics and alert tones, plus a spoken 10-second warning or 3-2-1 countdown. ⢠Repeat a single stage, or loop the whole playlist ā perfect for HIIT rounds, Pomodoro cycles, and breathing sets. ⢠Start fast from built-in templates: Pomodoro, HIIT, Box Breathing, Meditation, and more. ON-SCREEN TEXT FOR SPEECHES ⢠Show a stage's text on the Player and scroll it in time with the reading ā a simple teleprompter for practicing a talk. VOICE-OVERS, IN YOUR VOICE ⢠A session can carry its spoken words as text rather than baked-in audio, so your device reads them over the stage's music in any voice you have installed ā including another language. ⢠Set the voice and the speed, or turn speaking off and read along on screen. Yours to adjust even in a locked session. STAY IN CONTROL, EVERYWHERE ⢠Live Activity and Dynamic Island show your session on the Lock Screen with a glanceable countdown. ⢠A Quick Start Home Screen widget launches a playlist with one tap. ⢠On-time stage notifications announce each new stage by name. ⢠Lock Screen and headphone controls to play, pause, and skip. APPLE WATCH + APPLE HEALTH ⢠A live timer on your wrist with stage, countdown, and controls. ⢠Record your session as a workout in Apple Health ā with heart rate, active energy, and the workout type you set on the playlist. ⢠Wrist haptics fire at every stage change, even with the screen off. YOUR LIBRARY, SAFE AND IN SYNC ⢠iCloud keeps your playlists in sync across your devices, privately. ⢠Color-tag playlists to organize your library. ⢠Export and import playlists. ⢠Automatic backups with one-tap restore ā the newest also kept in your own iCloud account, so it survives a reinstall. ⢠A shared session puts its own audio back on your other devices, or after a reinstall. MADE TO FIT YOU ⢠Custom accent, background, and text colors; Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout. ⢠A simplified Playback-Only view when you just want to press play. ⢠Works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. FULWAVE PRO FulwaveTimer is free to use, and keeps a small library at no cost. Fulwave Pro unlocks an unlimited playlist library and session export. Pro is available as a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. SHARE COMPLETE SESSIONS Bundle a playlist together with its audio into a single .fws session file and share it. Anyone can open and play a session they receive; Fulwave Pro keeps imported sessions in your library permanently. FULWAVE DESIGNER FOR MAC Fulwave Designer is a free companion app on the Mac App Store. Build a session on a big screen: layer several audio tracks and spoken-text cues on a single stage, set each layer's start delay, gain, and pan, choose haptics and stage colors, add session artwork, and audition it all on a transport. Export a .fws session ā optionally locked, so it plays exactly as you built it ā to play or share here. Sessions you receive open and play for free; Fulwave Pro keeps them in your library. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FulwaveTimer at every 2 days against Time2Heat's weekly. Time2Heat's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
