Hidden Timer vs Loopa

A timer app that allows user to hide the time while the timer is running.

Loopa is an interval timer that lets you build any repeating routine. Use it for workouts and running, or for meditation and Pomodoro-style study and focus sessions — anywhere you repeat timed steps. ■ Build your plan, your way - Arrange blocks like "Warm-up → Main set → Cool-down" - Set a repeat count for each block - Loop the entire plan as many times as you like (e.g. run the whole menu 3 times) ■ By time or by distance - Each step can be set by duration or by distance - Distance steps are measured automatically with GPS — build running menus like "run 400m, walk 200m" - See your distance and pace in real time - Plans that don't use GPS never access your location ■ Follow along without looking at the screen - Voice announcements for step changes and countdowns - Hear what's coming up before each step ends - Keeps running in the background — leave your phone in your pocket - Live Activity support: see your progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and pause or resume right there ■ Sound the way you want it - Announce out loud, mark the steps with tones, both, or neither — set per plan - Five tones to pick from (Beep, Music box, Marimba, Chime, Wood block), with a preview in Settings - Pick a separate sound for reaching the end of a plan - Add a tempo (BPM) click to any step when you want a steady rhythm - Play a playlist from your own music library on any block — keep the warm-up quiet and save the music for the main set - Voice and tones stay audible over the music - Pick the announcement voice from the ones on your iPhone, and turn cue volume down in five steps - For songs where the vocals drown it out, the music can pause just while an announcement is spoken ■ Your sessions add up - Every plan you run is recorded automatically on the Stats tab - Sessions and total time for the month, plus which days you showed up - Log meditation to the Health app as Mindful Minutes - Export the history as a CSV file ■ Quick to start, yours to color - Start from a template: HIIT, a distance run, a run/walk interval, meditation, Pomodoro - Line up the plans you use often in a Home Screen widget and open one with a tap - "Start my run in Loopa" — begin a plan with Siri or from the Shortcuts app - Combine a base and an accent to recolor the app — every pairing tuned for light and dark - Card-based layout, with a large, clear display of the current step while you work out - The screen stays awake during a session ■ Privacy first - No account required - Your plans are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud — no one else, including us, can access them - Your location is never sent anywhere - We only write to the Health app, and never read from it - Your music library is read only to list and play your playlists — nothing about your music leaves your device - Anonymous usage data tells us which features get used. No advertising identifier, no tracking across other apps or websites — and you can turn it off in Settings ■ Free and Premium The free tier lets you keep up to 2 active plans.
