Unheld vs Quietime

Unheld is a quiet space for focus. Most focus apps make you watch the clock. Unheld does the opposite. Start a session, put your phone down, and focus without thinking about time. There are no ticking countdowns, no pressure, and no productivity scores. Time is held quietly in the background so you can stay present with your work. Unheld is designed for people who want calm focus instead of urgency — students, creatives, professionals, and anyone who finds traditional timers stressful. Features • One-tap focus sessions • No countdown by default • Gentle end reminders (optional) • Session history for reflection, not tracking • Apple Watch support • Local-only storage — your data stays on your device Premium (One-time purchase) Unlock session history, weekly summaries, and optional tags with a single purchase. No subscriptions. Designed for calm Unheld is not a Pomodoro timer and not a productivity system. It’s a quiet container for focus — so you can stop thinking about time and simply work.

Quietime is a simple and beautiful app for keeping track of the events in your life. Not another noisy calendar — just a clean, scrollable timeline that shows what matters. Scroll freely through your days. Quietime shows your events chronologically in a clean, vertical design. Jump back to today instantly, or scroll ahead to plan. Search across titles and notes to find what you're looking for. Create events with a title, time, notes, and color code. Choose from five colors to organize visually. Set up recurring events — daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Mark full days or specific times. Choose from ten different reminder timings — from one week before to the moment it happens. Add multiple reminders per event so you never miss what's important. See upcoming events right on your home screen with a 5-day widget. Display up to three events on your lock screen with Live Activities on iOS. Stay on top of things without opening the app. Follow a special date — a birthday, a deadline, a milestone. Quietime shows you the countdown or time since, right in the widget. Connect your system calendar and see events from all your calendars alongside your own — everything on one timeline. Choose from nine color themes: Dark, Light, Blue, Green, Purple, Morning Calm, Evening Glow, Night Stars, and Meadow. The app automatically adapts to light and dark mode. All data is stored locally. No account, no subscription — just a one-time purchase after a 14-day free trial. Quietime respects your time, even the time you spend outside the app.
