Sniper Timer vs Akaru

A timer you can watch tick. Sniper Timer shows time passing with animation. A sniper leaves a bullet hole every second, an elephant and a cat walk across the screen leaving footprints, and fireworks and cherry blossoms fill the view. You can see time moving without reading a single number. 11 animations with sound effects Sniper / Elephant March / Cat Walk / Hearts / Colorful Stars / Snow / Bubbles / Rocket / Confetti / Fireworks / Sakura Each has its own sound effect. Turn sounds on or off and choose how often they play (every 1-30 seconds). One-tap scenes 20 scenes including tea, soft-boiled egg, cup noodles, toothbrushing, nap, Pomodoro, meditation, plank, Tabata HIIT and shogi. Each one sets the time, mode and animation at once. You can create your own scenes too. Four modes - Countdown: start from a preset, and nudge it from -30s to +1m while it runs - Count-up: a stopwatch with laps - Interval: repeat work and rest for workouts - Shogi clock: a two-player game clock Handy details - Get a notification when time is up, even with the app closed - Record your own voice as the alarm (up to 30 seconds, save several) - The screen stays on while a timer runs - Shows the end time; the clock changes color at 10 and 3 seconds left - Dark mode For toothbrushing, tidying up, cooking, studying, workouts and shogi games. Waiting gets a little more fun.

No more setting alarms every night. Set your rules for days of the week and holidays once. Akaru wakes you at the right time each morning. For important mornings, use Serious Alarm. You have to walk to stop it: the alarm rings at intervals until you reach your step goal. --- Does this sound familiar? --- Checking tomorrow's shift before bed and resetting your alarm. Changing the time depending on whether you work at the office or at home. Occasionally forgetting, and oversleeping. If you wake at different times each day, ordinary alarm apps only offer weekly repeats. You still have to check every night or keep lots of alarms and switch them on and off. It's a hassle. Forget, and you're late. --- Set your rules once. Akaru takes care of the rest --- “Monday–Friday at 6:30, weekends at 8:00, holidays off.” Set that once, and each day's alarm is chosen automatically. Then just open the calendar. See exactly which days have alarms this month and at what time, displayed as numbers. Instead of colored dots or badges, you see the actual time: “6:30,” “8:00,” or “OFF.” Check at a glance, and rest easy. --- Key features --- [ Monthly alarm calendar ] • See each day's alarm time right on the calendar • Swipe to check the previous or next month • Holidays are automatically color-coded for easy recognition [ Set alarms with rules ] • Set different times for each day of the week in one place • Automatically turn alarms off on holidays or use a different time • Rule changes appear in the calendar immediately [ Walk to wake up with Serious Alarm ] • Set Serious Alarm for important days by date or day-of-week rule • Reach your step goal to complete your wake-up mission.
