A timer you actually want to watch — and something to keep when it ends. Set a duration and an egg starts to warm. As the minutes pass the shell cracks, one crack at a time, so you can see how much time is left without reading a number. Near the end a beak breaks through. At zero the shell gives way and an animal steps out — and that animal is yours to keep. There are 84 of them, from a chick and a duckling to a dragon, a seaserpent, and a phoenix. Longer timers have better odds of something rare, so a 5-minute tea steep and a 2-hour deep work block feel genuinely different. WHY IT WORKS Most timers ask you to interpret a shrinking bar or a running number. Eggleton gives you countable cracks — a glance tells you "three left" instead of "somewhere past halfway." It is the same information, in the form your eye reads fastest. And it gives you a reason to let the timer finish. Cancel at minute 22 of 25 and nothing hatches. That small pull is the whole point. WHAT YOU GET • A hand-drawn hatching scene that escalates as the deadline nears • 84 collectible animals across four rarities, with a collection you fill over time • Sound synthesised in real time — shell taps, a heartbeat, a first cheep — never a sample loop • Haptics tuned to each crack, so you feel the countdown without looking • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Live Activity and Dynamic Island support • Notifications when the egg hatches, and an optional "10 seconds left" warning • Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a Mac menu bar timer • Pause, resume, or add a minute — the timer keeps correct time in the background BUILT FOR Pomodoro sessions and study sprints. Tea, coffee, and eggs. Workout intervals. Screen-time limits and "five more minutes" for kids. Anything where the finish deserves a moment. QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. No network requests of any kind — the app never sends anything anywhere, because it has nothing to send. Your collection lives on your device. Reduce Motion, Reduce Flashing, and VoiceOver labels are built in, not bolted on. FREE, AND OPTIONAL Twelve animals — three of every rarity, legendaries included — are free forever. If you want the whole roster, one purchase opens the other seventy-two, permanently, on every device you own. No subscription, no currency, no timers you can pay to speed up. The odds never change.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eggleton at none against Focustown's shown. Focustown's advantage is iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
