SIMTA vs Roundi

SIMTA is a timer you read at a glance. Set a time and the whole screen fills with color. As the seconds run out the color drains away, so you can tell how much is left from across the room without reading a number. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Spin the dial, press start. That is the whole setup. • No accounts and no subscriptions. • Red and Teal are free. SIMTA Pro adds thirteen more colors, and My Colors lets you pick any color yourself. SIMTA PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION • Thirteen more colors, plus My Colors for picking your own, with the home screen icon to match. • Lock the apps that distract you while a timer runs. • Every time you have run, kept in Recent. • No ads. MADE TO BE GLANCED AT • Horizon Lock keeps the color level with the room as you tip the phone or prop it in a stand. • The controls fade away once the timer is running, so nothing sits on top of the color. • Hide the digits entirely if you only want the color. • Keep the screen awake while a timer runs. • The countdown carries on to the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, with pause, resume and stop right there. RELIABLE • The countdown stays accurate after you switch apps or lock the phone. • A running timer survives the app being closed. • The alarm is audible even with the silent switch on. Good for cooking, focus sprints, workouts, study blocks, and anything where you would rather feel time pass than watch a number.

One round, one thing. Roundi holds you to a single task and shows the time as color: focus you can see. Turn the dial, press start, and a disc of color begins to disappear — like a kitchen timer for your attention. No numbers counting down, no notifications pulling you back. Just time, visibly running out. THE ONE RULE Leave the app — or lock the screen — before the round ends, and the round is lost, instantly. That's the whole trick: Roundi doesn't block anything, it just makes leaving cost something. (Too strict? There's a Lenient mode.) MADE FOR YOUR RITUALS • Meditate — 15 quiet minutes, watching the color fade • Study — a 50-minute block with no pings • Work — deep work sessions up to 2 hours • Train — planks, dead hangs, rest between sets Save each ritual as a tag and it becomes a one-tap start button with its own duration. SAY IT, DON'T TAP IT "Start Plank in Roundi." Between rounds, Siri sets the length, starts a tag, adds another round, or tells you your streak. Hands free — and once a round starts, nothing interrupts you. ON YOUR WRIST Roundi runs on Apple Watch too. Turn the Digital Crown, tap START, and the color sweeps away on your wrist; a tap and a chime mark the end. Watch rounds land in your iPhone's calendar, Siri works on the watch, and one rule carries over: unlock your iPhone during a watch round and the round ends. A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT Choose how time drains: a clockwise disc, a color that falls or rises across the whole screen, or a spiral coil that unwinds from the outside in. Six soft colors. A chime and a soft blink of color when the round completes. EVERY ROUND, KEPT Finished rounds land as dots on your calendar, with your daily total and streak. Time becomes habit; habit becomes you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your rounds stay on your device. Set a time. Stay focused. One round at a time.
