Simple Timer App with a couple of quirky features for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. And yes, it’s free. Forever. (Menacing glance at other developers) Settings - Set work intervals from 5 seconds to 25 minutes (10 minutes for watchOS) or infinite work mode to manually advance to the next round. - Set rest intervals from 0 seconds to 25 minutes (10 minutes on watchOS). - Enable or disable the last rest interval. - Independent sound settings — sound on/off doesn’t mess with your system-wide sound. - Supports both horizontal and vertical orientations. - Set a pre-timer countdown for ten, three, or zero seconds. Timer - Large digits. Like, REALLY LARGE digits. - Tmer controls, similar to media navigation. - Color-supported intervals with clock-like animation. - Soft, non-irritating sounds generated with a wave-synth on the device. Shoutout to all the 438 Hz fans. Onscreen Controls - Rewind to the beginning of the round / double tap to return to the previous round. - Add 10 seconds to the current round. - Pause and resume the timer. - Fast forward 10 seconds. - Skip to the next round. IMPORTANT!  Developer notes about watchOS version:  - the watchOS version is completely independent, it doesn't synchronize the timer's progress or settings with the parent iOS device. It was technically possible, but it drains Apple Watch battery while application is limited. - Total session length is limited to one full hour (UI doesn't allow user to set longer than that). And I recommend it for even shorter sessions to save battery. If you need longer sessions with watch sensor data collection, please rely on the Apple Workouts app. It's awesome, too. Count your intervals and stay healthy, mindful, and happy!

Planetary Clock is a precise, beautifully simple planetary-hours clock. Since antiquity, each day and night has been divided into twelve unequal hours, each governed by one of the seven classical planets in the Chaldean order. Planetary Clock computes these hours with astronomical accuracy from the true sunrise and sunset in the city you choose. • Current planetary hour — see which planet rules right now, with a live countdown to the next hour. • Apple Watch — the ruling planet and the minutes left in this hour, right on your watch face and in the Smart Stack. Hours are computed on the watch, so it works even when your iPhone is out of reach. • Widgets — the ruling planet and the minutes left in this hour on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with the hours ahead and the whole day in the larger sizes. • Ruler of the day — the classical planet that governs today. • Upcoming hours — a clear timeline of the planetary hours ahead, from sunrise to sunset and through the night. • Moon phase — the current phase and illumination of the Moon. • Monthly calendar — lunar phases and planetary hours at a glance. • 3D chart — your birth chart rendered in three dimensions, with transits and aspects. • Sync across devices — sign in and your calendar and chart settings follow you. Planetary Clock is a subscription app. A monthly or annual plan unlocks everything, with a free trial when your Apple Account is eligible. No ads, and no tracking. Signing in with Apple or Google keeps your data in step across your devices. You pick your city by searching for it — the app does not use GPS — and every planetary hour is computed from that city's coordinates and time zone, so the same place is used on every device.
