Project Jar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Too many ideas. No idea where to start. Project Jar is for people whose problem was never coming up with things to make - it's picking one. Drop every idea into the jar, and when you finally have a free evening, let the jar decide. CAPTURE IT BEFORE IT'S GONE • Add an idea in seconds - type it, or hold the mic and just talk • Tag it: music, app, video, writing, or categories you invent • Attach photos and reference shots • Search everything you've ever thrown in LET FATE PICK • Tap spin and watch your Spark pull a slip out of the jar • Seven animated draw scenes to pick from • Exclude the categories you're not in the mood for today • The decision is made. Go make something. ONE IDEA, ONE PAGE • Every idea opens as a document - notes, headings, bullets, photos and to-dos in one flow • Check things off as you go • Turn an idea into a real project the moment it's ready A COMPANION THAT NEVER GUILT-TRIPS YOU • Your Spark lives in a little room and reacts to what you make • Disappear for a week? It gets more encouraging, not less. This is the opposite of a guilt app. • Unlock new looks, posters and postcards the more you create • After 30 quiet days it moves out - and you can always bring it home TRACK SHOWING UP, NOT OUTPUT • A GitHub-style activity grid across every project you touch • Tap any day to see exactly what you did • Streaks that celebrate and never scold YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking • Everything lives on your iPhone • Optional daily reminder, entirely local OPTIONAL AI Voice capture works the moment you install it, using Apple's built-in speech recognition - free, no setup, nothing to configure. If you want Whisper-grade transcription plus automatic parsing of a rambling voice note into a clean, tagged idea, there are two ways to get it: 1. Bring your own keys — paste your OpenAI and Anthropic API keys in Settings. Free in the app; you pay your provider directly. 2. Subscribe to ProjectJar AI — no keys, no setup.

Timix turns timers into routines. Run multiple timers at once, chain them into complete sequences, and automatically trigger actions as your timers progress. Whether you're studying, cooking, working out, focusing, or building your own routine, create it once and let Timix keep it moving. From a simple countdown to a fully automated routine, Timix gives you control over what happens before, during, and after every timer. BUILD YOUR ROUTINE Run multiple timers side by side or chain them together into reusable sequences. Create everything from study and focus sessions to workouts, cooking routines, morning routines, and more. AUTOMATE EVERY STEP Choose from 15 triggers, combine as many as you like, at the start or end of any timer (see below). Timix can also run Apple Shortcuts when a timer starts or ends, allowing your timers to become part of larger automations. LOG WORKOUTS TO HEALTH Turn any timer into a workout. Timix can start a workout when a timer begins and end it when the timer finishes, then save it to the Health app with its activity type and duration. Choose from more than 80 activity types, including running, yoga, strength training, and mind and body sessions. Recording happens right on your iPhone or iPad. No Apple Watch required. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See completed and cancelled timers on a visual timeline. Search, filter, and compare routines, then track total time, runs, and triggers over time. START FROM ANYWHERE Use Timix on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Start your timers with Siri, Shortcuts, Home Screen widgets, and quick actions, or control them directly from your Apple Watch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Timix at 4 against Project Jar's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
