Fridge2Cal is a calendar scanner that turns photos of paper calendars into editable events for your iPhone. Read handwritten schedules, review the details, and sync approved events to iOS Calendar. Snap a photo of any month grid: the family calendar from school, your wall planner, the magnetic one stuck above the kitchen counter. Fridge2Cal reads the dates, times, locations, and event titles, then drops them into a clean review workspace where you can fix anything before they touch your real calendar. When the drafts look right, one tap pushes them straight into the iOS Calendar. Synced something by mistake? Hit undo and it’s gone — from Fridge2Cal and from your calendar. WHY FRIDGE2CAL The best paper calendar in the world is still a paper calendar. School schedules, sports brackets, work shift sheets, recital dates, fridge magnets — they all show up on paper, and they all need to live on your phone. Manually retyping a month’s worth of events is tedious, error-prone, and the reason half of those dates never make it onto your calendar at all. Fridge2Cal closes that gap. Take a photo, get back a sortable, editable list of events, and ship the ones you want to your iPhone in one tap. WHAT IT DOES • SNAP — Camera or photo library. Crop to the month grid so we focus on what matters. • EXTRACT — Every event we can read becomes an editable draft: title, start, end, location, notes. All-day events and timed events are both supported. • REVIEW — Switch between Calendar and List views. Tap any draft to fix the title, change the time, add a location, or expand notes. Each one shows the original handwritten source so you can double-check. • FLAG — Anything ambiguous (smudged times, mystery initials, dates without a year) gets a Needs Review callout instead of being silently guessed. • DUPLICATE CHECK — We scan your existing calendar inside the date range and warn you when a draft might already be there. No more “doctor’s appointment” showing up twice. • SYNC — One tap pushes every approved draft to your iOS Calendar. Per-event sync is supported too. • UNDO — Every synced event can be removed from your calendar with a single tap, even days later. We track the event identifier so we know exactly what to pull back out. • HISTORY — Past scans live in My Scans with the original photo and event counts. Reopen any scan to keep editing or syncing later. GREAT FOR • Parents juggling school, sports, and music schedules • Students copying syllabus dates and exam weeks • Shift workers translating printed rosters • Anyone with a wall planner, fridge magnet calendar, or bullet journal page • Conference programs, tournament brackets, recital schedules PAPER GOES IN. CALENDAR COMES OUT. If you’ve ever stood in front of your fridge taking notes on your phone, you’ll get it. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Stopwatch
Read full descriptionHide full description
A stopwatch that records every lap and split to 1/100 of a second — and keeps the whole run after you stop. Most stopwatches throw the run away the moment you reset. This one anchors timing to the system wall clock so it never drifts, flags your fastest and slowest lap the instant you record them, saves the run to History, and scores how even your pacing was on a 0-100 consistency scale. Laps, splits, charts and totals — not just a number that disappears. WHAT YOU GET - Lap time and split time read to the hundredth, newest lap always on top - Your fastest and slowest lap flagged automatically while you are still timing - A 0-100 consistency score that tells you whether your pace held or drifted - Saved runs with lap charts, pace-variation graphs and best / average / worst breakdowns - Two saved runs placed side by side, lap by lap, with the gap shown on every row - Lifetime totals: runs timed, laps recorded, time tracked, best lap ever PERFECT FOR - Runners timing track laps, tempo runs and interval reps - Lifters and HIIT athletes marking rounds and keeping rest honest - Coaches timing repeats and comparing one athlete's runs week to week - Anyone timing brews, bakes, lab reactions or focused study blocks WHY NOT JUST USE THE BUILT-IN CLOCK APP? Because it forgets. The stock stopwatch shows a lap list that vanishes the second you reset — no saved runs, no chart, no side-by-side comparison, no export. Here every run is kept, labelled with a preset (Sports, Cooking, Study), grouped by day, and ready to reopen months later. Tap Lap and the clock keeps running; the screen stays lit so you never lose your read mid-run. PRIVACY Every run is stored on your device only. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no third-party tracking. Works fully offline, in airplane mode, anywhere. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks unlimited saved runs, per-run lap charts, the best / average / worst breakdown, run-vs-run comparison, and CSV export of any session you have timed. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime unlock — the lifetime option is a single payment with nothing to renew. Tap Start, tap Lap at every checkpoint, then save the run and watch your consistency score climb.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Fridge2Cal at every 3 days against Stopwatch's every 4 weeks. Stopwatch's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
