Big Timer is a countdown timer built around one idea: the time should be huge and easy to read from anywhere in the room. • Full-screen digits, big enough to read from across a kitchen, gym, or classroom • One-tap presets from 1 to 60 minutes, or dial in a custom hours/minutes/seconds duration • Tap the display to pause and resume, or add extra time on the fly • Keeps your screen awake for the entire countdown, so it's always visible • A clear alarm with haptics when time's up — plus background notifications if you step away, even with the silent switch on • Works on iPhone and iPad No accounts, no ads, no data collected. Just a timer.

The clearest difference is ads: Big Timer at none against Keyboard's shown. Keyboard's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
