PenTimer vs Stedo

PenTimer is a simple focus timer built around the classic 25-minute work and 5-minute break rhythm. Start a session, focus on your task, and stop whenever you’re done. Each session is saved using its real start and end time and stored as an event in Apple Calendar. These sessions are also shown as clear time blocks on a daily timeline, similar to how events appear in the Calendar app. There are no complex settings, no accounts, and no distractions. PenTimer is designed to stay out of your way and help you see how you actually spend your focused time throughout the day. Features Fixed 25-minute work sessions and 5-minute breaks Stop early or let the timer finish naturally Sessions saved as events in Apple Calendar Real start and end times recorded Daily timeline view with clear time blocks No accounts, no tracking, no ads PenTimer works entirely on your device and respects your privacy. Focus, one session at a time.

Stedo is the calm daily planner that turns a busy head into a clear plan – organize your day, build routines you can reuse, and let AI do the heavy thinking. KEY FEATURES Today's plan – Every morning AI picks the 2–3 things that matter today, with a short reason for each, so you know where to start. I'm stuck – When it's hard to get going, Stedo gives you one tiny first step and a short timer. Take the next small step or call it good – both count. Plan your day your way – Organize the day into your own groups and view it as a simple list or a timeline. A week strip and month view keep navigation easy, while “Now” and “Up next” always show what to do. Reusable routines – Build a routine once and reuse it across groups; edit it in one place and it updates everywhere. Give any routine a timer, a checklist or a reward. AI co-planner – Speak or type a brain-dump and let Stedo build routines for you. Hand it a big, vague task and it breaks it into small, doable steps. Capture now, sort later – Drop any thought into your inbox, then turn it into a routine, checklist or to-do when you're ready. Focus mode – Take one routine at a time: run its timer, tick the checklist, and unlock the reward at the end. Points & rewards – Earn points for what you finish, create your own rewards, and spend points to unlock them – with little celebrations along the way. Gentle support – Smart follow-ups nudge you once if a routine hasn't happened yet (never between 10 pm and 7 am). Insights show how your mood connects to your routines, and a private helper link lets a partner, parent or coach follow your day. STEDO PLUS Stedo is free to use: tasks, routines, checklists, the inbox, the focus timer, mood check-ins, points and rewards. Stedo Plus is an optional subscription with a free trial.
