Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Quieter Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a simple timer app that will either vibrate-only or play the gentle sound of a Tibetan-bowl when the timer ends. The built-in iPhone Clock app has a timer that's great–but every sound option it offers for when the timer ends is loud and jarring. Quieter Timer is an alternative that can be useful for meditation, or any time you want to set a timer without alerting the whole room around you when the timer goes off.
