Tilt to choose. Tap to begin. TURN removes every step between you and focus. No lists to scroll. No sliders to drag. Tilt your phone toward one of four directions, each mapped to a preset time, and tap the compass to start. Once you start, there's nothing to look at. The timer keeps running no matter how you set the phone down. When it reaches zero, it doesn't end on its own — it keeps going until you say done. Not "stop at 25 minutes," but "stop when I'm finished." Breaks work the same way. Start one and step away. A notification brings you back. Designed in Seoul by Pukaki. Features - Tilt-based time selection, four customizable presets - Focus, Break, and Long Break — all set in minutes - Sessions end when you decide, not when the clock does - Automatic logging with optional tags - Records filtered by date or tag - Matt white and Matt black themes - No accounts. No tracking. No ads.

Pebble catches your thought before it slips away. No folders, no setup — just write. **Keep One Note Always Visible** Pin a memo to the Dynamic Island, widgets, and the top of your list. No need to dig through notes. Your most important thought stays right where you can see it. **Think It, Save It** Ideas don't wait. Neither does Pebble. Save from the app, widgets, Siri, or Shortcuts — in under 3 seconds. **Dynamic Island Quick Capture** Your pinned memo lives in the Dynamic Island. Tap to create a new memo instantly — no hunting for the app. **Widgets & Lock Screen** Place Pebble on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Your memos are always one glance away. **Siri & Shortcuts** "Hey Siri, memo with Pebble" — hands-free memo creation. Works with Shortcuts and the Action Button too. **Quick Delete** Pebble is for fleeting thoughts. Turn on Quick Delete to clear memos with one tap. **Pastel Design** Soft pastel colors. A calm, minimal design. Memos should feel light. **Pebble Pro** One-time purchase to remove all ads. Pebble: Don't pile up notes — let them float.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pebble at Free against TURN's $1.99. TURN's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
