Tempo Work
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make your workday easier to understand. Tempo keeps recorded work, your daily target and remaining time in one place. Set up a workplace for location-assisted tracking, or stay fully manual. Monday to Friday is the starting routine; your working days are always editable. YOUR TIME, YOUR CONTROL Start and stop sessions manually, or correct completed records in History. Manage and export all your records without Pro. Widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Control Center provide convenient access to your workday. Every workplace, including home, starts and stops automatically. Tempo waits a couple of minutes so GPS jitter cannot open or close a session, then records the real arrival and departure times. A return within 15 minutes continues the same session; coming back to work later the same day starts a new one, while coming home later the same day does not. Manual start, stop and History edits remain available whenever you need them. FOCUS TIMER The Focus tab is a timer for short, protected sprints: 25-minute focus sessions by default, with a length you can change. It keeps counting when your phone locks, and a notification tells you when a phase ends. Focus never touches your work records. With Tempo Pro: automatic focus cycles with short and long breaks, focus stats and a choice of focus sounds. A MORE PERSONAL WORKDAY WITH TEMPO PRO - Dayline: see recorded work and your target on a clear daily timeline. - Cards: bring useful daily and weekly insights into focus. - Focus cycles, stats and sounds: automatic short breaks, and a long break after each set, your focus blocks and minutes, and your own end-of-phase sound, silence included. - Insights and recaps: explore recorded patterns and revisit eligible months and years as animated stories, with pause, replay and speed controls. - Shareable recap cards: choose a layout, preview what you reveal, then share, copy or save an image. Workplace names and precise coordinates are not included. - Flexible routines: configure multiple workplaces, per-day targets, intensive schedules, a custom home start time and optional finish-at-target behavior. - Useful alerts: personalize reminders and overtime notifications. Recaps use your recorded history. Available chapters and comparisons depend on having sufficient eligible records; Tempo does not invent missing work or measure productivity from hours alone. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN No Tempo account, advertising or developer-operated location backend. Work records are stored locally. Apple services support maps, location and purchases; sharing sends the image only to the destination you choose. Automatic background tracking depends on iOS permissions, device settings, signal conditions and whether the app has been force-quit. Exact background start or stop delivery is not guaranteed. Review records before using them for payroll or compliance. Pro is available through in-app purchase. Prices, billing periods and any eligible offers are displayed before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through your Apple account. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://seizeapps.com/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tempo Work at none against GScholar App's shown. GScholar App's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
