Quill Timer vs Let Me Read

Quill is a simple focus timer for studying, reading, and writing. ▪ Build your own sessions Set session lengths that fit what you're doing — 50/10 for exam prep, 30/10 for reading, 90/15 for writing. Repeating cycles or one-off timers, both work. ▪ A dial you can read at a glance A round dial fills up as time goes by, so you can tell how much is left without staring at a number. ▪ Lock screen + Dynamic Island While a session is running, the time left stays on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. No need to reopen the app. ▪ Apple Watch support Start and pause timers from your watch — they sync with your iPhone automatically. ▪ Weekly stats A simple chart shows how many sessions you finished and what you spent your time on each week. No ads, no purchases, no sign-in. Everything stays on your device.

Let Me Read is a quiet timer built around a single daily reading goal. Set how many minutes you want to read each day. The app draws that goal as an ensō, a Japanese brushed circle, and the circle closes as you read toward it. There is no list to check, no streak to protect, just one shape telling you how much of today is left. How it works Open the app and it shows you today: the ensō as far round as you've already read, and the minutes still needed to close it. Start a session, read, and when time is up a bell sounds to let you know, even with the ringer off. The timer only runs while the app is open: leave it and the session pauses, come back and it picks up where you left off. You can also set an ideal reading time, and the app will send a gentle reminder half an hour before, so you don't have to remember to open it. Every session you finish or end early is added to your day's total. Look back on it through a calendar (year, month, week and day), with a mark on any day that met your goal. What it doesn't do There's no account, no sign-in, and no syncing. Nothing you do in the app is shared with anyone, because the app never connects to the internet at all: your goal, your history and your sessions live only on your phone.
