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!
Stash

Stash is the fastest way to save a link or a bit of text on one device and pick it up on another. Built like all my apps: private by design, no accounts, no tracking. Save it, find it later, get on with your day. Like everything I make, Stash starts from a simple foundation: your data is yours. There's no account to create, no server of mine holding your stuff, and no tracking of any kind. Everything syncs through your own iCloud and stays there. I built Stash because I kept finding links on my phone that I wanted to view later on my Mac, and vice versa. Like many people, I would message them to myself. That was not an elegant or user-friendly solution. I just wanted a box to toss things into that would sync everywhere. Everything else I tried wanted to be a read-it-later service, had a different goal in mind, wanted me to create an account, had unnecessary "social" features, or had questionable privacy. FEATURES: * No account, no tracking, no subscription * Save links and text from the share sheet on iPhone, iPad, and Mac * Quick capture and inbox right from the Mac menu bar * Links get titles, icons, and previews automatically, all generated on your device * Tag things to keep them organized, with colors that sync * Favorite the really important things * Set up patterns to tidy long website titles, making it easier to read on smaller screens * Inbox plus archive keeps new stuff separate from old * Add to Stash from Shortcuts * Syncs through your iCloud account, nothing stored anywhere else * Privacy switch to turn off link previews entirely if you want zero network requests * Widgets for quickly capturing thoughts or links, and seeing your reading lists from your Home Screen or desktop * Shortcuts support

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timple at none against Stash's 1. Timple also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Stash's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
