HearTime is a spoken timer for workouts and everyday routines. Keep your pace without watching the screen during training, stretching, recovery exercises, cooking, or focused tasks. Key features: - Free stopwatch and countdown timers - Reusable timer presets - Multi-step routines with configurable group rests - Nine pre-generated synthetic voices that play offline after installation - Adjustable announcement intervals, beats, speech rate, and enhanced volume - Quick control with Siri and App Shortcuts - Timer status on the Lock Screen with Live Activities - Background audio, portrait and landscape layouts, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support Version 1.1 adds spoken number meditation. Follow a breathing rhythm by ear, or drop a meditation step into a routine you already use. HearTime remains a spoken timer, not a meditation course. HearTime requires no account and contains no ads. Optional anonymous usage analytics can be turned off in Settings. Your presets, routines, timer history, and settings stay on your device by default. The free version includes the core timer experience. A one-time HearTime Pro purchase permanently unlocks additional presets, routines, and advanced features. It is not a subscription. Share presets, Routines, and meditations as text. Import from the clipboard with a quick preview, or describe a workout to an external AI, bring the result back, and save after you confirm.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HearTime at none against BeLoop's shown. HearTime also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). BeLoop's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
