OCD Countdown vs Tempora

Stop doing time math. When you need a countdown to end at a specific time, simply enter that time and let OCD Countdown calculate the duration automatically. Set a time, not a duration. Create multiple countdowns for cooking, meetings, workouts, breaks, departures, and everything else happening in your day. Each countdown stays easy to identify and track, so you always know what’s next. Choose an hour from 1–12, enter the minutes, and start your countdown. AM or PM is suggested for the next occurrence of your chosen time, and you can change it whenever needed. Keep track with Live Activities on supported iPhones, system alarms, optional spoken updates, and customizable sounds. Mute spoken alerts without moving your target time, or clear your countdowns when you are finished. An Apple Watch app lets you create and track countdowns on your wrist. Optional OCD Plus subscription: eligible new subscribers receive one month free, then the subscription renews annually at the price shown by the App Store. Manage or cancel in your Apple account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Tempora is a sequence timer. An interval workout, focused work cycles, several dishes cooking at once, a meditation carried by time: anything that unfolds in phases can be described, saved and started in two taps. SAY IT. IT'S COMPOSED Write one sentence — "8 loops of 45 seconds on and 15 seconds off" — and the Composer turns it into a complete sequence, ready to start. Refine it phase by phase in the editor whenever you like. The Composer is a shortcut, never a requirement: everything can also be built by hand. A SESSION YOU CAN READ FROM AFAR During a session the screen takes the colour of the phase — coral for work, turquoise for rest — and the liquid rises with time. The countdown reads from across the room, the next phase announces itself, transitions chime and can be spoken aloud. Phone locked? Phase endings still notify you: the timer does not depend on the screen. MULTI-SEQUENCE Several independent timers on one screen: the eggs, the pasta, the sauce. Each one starts, pauses, gets an extra minute — and says "Ready" when it is. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR PROGRESS Your tempos are saved to your account and synced across devices, readable offline. Every session feeds your progress: time per week, work/rest balance, breakdown by category, current streak, records. On-device reminders help you keep the rhythm. WHAT TEMPORA DOES NOT DO No ads, no selling of data, no follower counts. Your data is hosted in Switzerland and you can erase it — history or entire account — right from the app. Tempora is built in Geneva by Pixelab.
