See time at a glance. Time Vis shows how much of the current day, week, month, and year has passed through clean progress bars and percentages. It’s a simple way to pause and see where you are in time. Keep that view close with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Choose which periods appear in your Home Screen widget, and display labels and percentages or keep it minimal with bars alone. Pick a small or medium Home Screen widget, or a compact Lock Screen widget. Open Time Vis whenever you want a clear view of the bigger picture.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time Vis at none against Real Secure SMS's 1. Time Vis also leads on ads (none vs shown). Real Secure SMS's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 21 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
