Timely vs Blurt

Timely puts countdowns on your Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, and Mac, so the remaining time is always in sight even while your phone is locked.

 When you add a location to a countdown, Timely accounts for traffic, prep time and how early you want to arrive. When it’s time to go, start turn-by-turn navigation with a tap, even for multi-stop trips.

 Adding new countdowns is fast and easy. You can even pick an event right from your calendar.

 Timely can be automated through the Shortcuts app. Add countdowns automatically without opening the app, or even unlocking your phone.

 Every countdown gets an emoji. Private, on-device AI picks one based on your title, while still making it easy to choose your own.

 Built by one independent developer. There are no ads and no accounts. Timely Plus adds extended Shortcuts actions and server-assisted Live Activity starts and dismissals.

 Timely can be particularly useful for people with ADHD or time blindness, as well as anyone who finds abstract clock times difficult to hold in mind.

Ideas come at the worst times. Behind the wheel, in the garden, hands full of bags. By the time you've unlocked your phone and found your notes app, it's gone. Blurt cuts the whole thing down to one step: raise your wrist and say it. HOW IT WORKS • Tap the complication and your Apple Watch starts recording right away — no menus, no extra buttons • Tap to save, turn the Digital Crown to cancel • Your iPhone transcribes the recording on-device, with no internet and no server • The note lands in the right category by itself, and your watch shows you the category color SORTING THAT ISN'T A BLACK BOX • Pick categories based on what you do: ideas, work, shopping, home, sport, family, study, car, farm… • Every note shows why it was filed where it was • Move it somewhere else and Blurt learns from it • Anything the app isn't sure about goes to "Uncategorized" for quick sorting SHOPPING LISTS • "We're out of milk, eggs and two loaves of bread" becomes three items to check off • Items are grouped by aisle, with a shopping mode for the store • Check them off on your iPhone or your watch DATES AND REMINDERS • "Call the garage tomorrow at noon" — Blurt reminds you at noon • Morning summary of what's due today • Export to Reminders, Markdown or the clipboard ON iPHONE AND iPAD • Today — notes by category, check off, edit, play the original recording • Archive — search everything, filter by category and time • Record on your iPhone too, or type a note when you can't talk • Everything stays in sync through your private iCloud ON APPLE WATCH • Record up to 60 seconds, even with the screen off • Categories with counts, swipe to complete or move • Complications for instant recording and the number of pending notes SHARED LISTS AND REPEATS • Share a shopping list with your partner or family — everyone adds and checks off, and everyone sees the changes • "Take out the bins every Monday" or "pay the rent on the 15th of every month": check it off and the date moves to the next one • A short Sunday-evening recap: what came in, what's done and what's still waiting • Smart sorting (Premium): when the rules aren't sure, an on-device language model picks the category • A few accidental seconds never end up as a note PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Transcription runs on your device; your notes live only on your devices and in your private iCloud. The app only sends anonymous aggregate counts (which screens get used), with no identifiers.
