Drop Timer vs Hearing Words

Master the clock. Drop Timer is your dedicated tactical HUD for tracking high-stakes rotations in real-time. In the modern meta, timing is the only currency that matters. Whether you are waiting for a server to go live, a legendary item to spawn, or a limited-edition piece of tech to restock, being late by a single second means missing out. Drop Timer is the "Scarcity Terminal" built for those who refuse to be late. From global server deployments and streetwear launches to rotating map conditions and supply drops, stay in sync with the pulse of your interests with a stylish, zero-latency second screen. The Scarcity Protocol: This isn't just a clock—it’s a precision terminal. Track the exact millisecond a console restock hits the market, the moment a streetwear "drop" goes live, or the precise window for an extraction in the world’s most demanding tactical shooters. Key Protocols: Command Line Interface (CLI): Designed for speed. Use the built-in CLI to input timers using natural language. Type "2 days, 4 hours" or "tomorrow at 6 pm" to instantly initialize a countdown. No menus, no friction—just immediate synchronization. Calendar Sync: Bridge the digital and physical. With a single tap, sync any terminal countdown to your default calendar. Ensure your external devices and daily schedule are aligned with the same time stream as the drop. Buffer Notifications: Stay ahead of the crowd. Set custom notification buffers to be alerted minutes or hours before an event actually goes live. Perfect for pre-loading launchers or queuing for streetwear drops. Custom Sync: Set relative or absolute timers for weekly resets, streetwear drops, hardware restocks, and game launches. Multi-Domain Hub: Track diverse event types—from extraction shooter map rotations to the next hype-cycle product launch—all in one unified interface. Network HUD: An ad-free, high-performance interface designed to live on your desk during a raid or act as your primary terminal for planning big-ticket purchases. Live-Service Sync: Monitor the pulse of the industry by tracking the exact second seasons reset or major content patches go live. Extraction Timing: Gain a tactical advantage by monitoring critical map windows and extraction point availability in real-time. Event Tracking: Never miss limited-time challenges, double XP weekends, or daily loot rotations again. Designed for the Wired: With an aesthetic inspired by the gritty, analog-future of the early internet, Drop Timer provides a focused, "distraction-free" environment. No algorithms, no tracking, and no noise—just pure data synchronization.

Hearing Words writes down what people say, as they say it, in big clear words on your phone. Set the phone on the table, or hold it in your hand. When someone speaks, their words appear on the screen a moment later. You read along instead of asking people to repeat themselves. WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU • Words appear as people talk, in type as big as you like. The largest size can be read from across a table. • When someone says their name, it is shown above their words, so you can see who said what. • If it hears a word wrong, it fixes it a few seconds later. It never makes up a word it did not hear. • Every conversation is saved on your phone, so you can read back what you missed. • Turn the phone on its side for wider lines. The buttons get out of the way while you read. Tap anywhere to bring them back. • Dark screen or light screen, plain or serif letters, your choice. PRIVATE Everything happens on your phone. Nothing you say, and nothing anyone says to you, is ever sent anywhere. There is no account, no sign-in, and no internet needed. It works in Airplane Mode. WHAT IT COSTS The first hour of listening is free, so you can try it in your own kitchen and your own café. The clock only runs while the app is listening, and it never cuts you off in the middle of a talk. When the hour is used up, you choose one of two ways to keep going. Both give you unlimited listening: • Hearing Words Forever: $34.99, paid once. It is yours for good. • Hearing Words Yearly: $9.99 a year. It renews each year until you turn it off. Both give you the very same app. There are no ads and no other charges. With Family Sharing, a son or daughter can buy it and share it with you. Prices shown are in US dollars; the App Store shows the price where you live. To buy, or to bring back something you bought, tap the gear, then Unlock Hearing Words. GOOD TO KNOW • English only, for now. • Needs iPhone 15 Pro or newer, with iOS 18 or newer. On an older iPhone the app says so as soon as it opens, before you pay anything. • The app is large (about 1.2 GB) because the speech models live inside it. Download it over Wi-Fi. • It writes down the people in the room with you. It cannot write down phone calls. For calls, use Live Captions, which is built into your iPhone. • It is a reading aid, not a medical device. It does not test or treat hearing. HOW TO START 1. Open Hearing Words and tap Start. 2. Allow the microphone when your phone asks. 3. Put the phone where people are talking. Read. 4. Tap Stop when you are done. The conversation is saved for you. I built Hearing Words for my dad after he suddenly lost much of his hearing. The captioning apps he tried got words wrong, needed the internet, and charged by the hour. This one does not. ABOUT THE YEARLY PLAN Hearing Words Yearly costs $9.99 a year. Payment is taken from your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. The plan renews by itself each year unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the year, and your Apple ID account is charged for the next year in the 24 hours before the year ends. To manage or cancel it, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://hearingwords.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://hearingwords.app/privacy
