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.
DigitalSand
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Digital Hourglass app is a timer app that displays and sounds (or even vibrates) the "sense of time passing like sand falling," making it easy to create short periods of focus or relaxation routines. It's less rigid than a timer that simply counts down, and it offers a more calming experience.

The clearest difference is device support: Quieter Timer at 2 against DigitalSand's —. DigitalSand's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
