Chromeo

Chromeo is a visual Pomodoro timer built for creative work. Instead of only watching numbers count down, you see time unfold visually. A spiral closes. A ring fills. A maze resolves. A cube shifts. You observe time passing. Time is set through touch. Haptic feedback makes adjustments feel physical and precise. You can edit the timer even while it is running. Sessions are meant to adapt to your workflow, not lock you into it. Chromeo is fast to use. Open, set, start. No setup screens, no friction. It works well for: • Deep creative work • Writing, design, development • Study sessions • Time blocking • ADHD and neurodivergent users • Anyone who prefers to feel time instead of reading it Different tasks can have different visual styles. Focus can look different depending on what you are doing. Designed for the Senses • Beautiful 3D parallax visuals • Minimal, clean UI • Fast and reliable performance • Haptic precision control By using this app, you agree to Apple's standard Terms of Use.

Rundle

The next thing is already decided. Rundle runs your routine one step at a time, so you are not standing in the kitchen at 7am deciding what happens next. A calm ring counts down. When it ends, the next step is already on screen. Built for how ADHD actually works: • One step at a time. Not the whole list. • A visual countdown you can read from across the room, and on your lock screen. • Park a thought the moment it interrupts you, and come back to it when you are done. • See the week you actually had. No streaks to protect, no guilt for the days you missed. Every routine is free. All of them. There is no cap and no upsell in the middle of your morning. The one time upgrade adds routine reminders and every theme. No subscription. No account. No ads. No AI. Your data stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. There is no server, so there is nothing for us to see. Accessibility is not an afterthought: • Full VoiceOver in the routine runner • Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility sizes • Reduce Motion honored • Haptics can be switched off

Verdict
Chromeo and Rundle are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
