Set the timer. Do the work. BareTimer is a bare-essentials workout timer for any sport. No ads, no account, no sign-up, and no internet required. Just open it and go. Most workout timer apps are buried in ads, logins, subscriptions, and clutter you never use. BareTimer is the opposite: a clean, fast gym timer with big readable numbers, clear audio cues, and only the timer modes you actually need. It is a free interval timer, AMRAP timer, EMOM timer, and Tabata timer in one simple app. FIVE WAYS TO TIME A WORKOUT • Countdown: Set the time, hit go, count down to zero. • For Time: Count up to a target. See how long it took, or race a cap. • AMRAP: As Many Rounds As Possible. Set a cap, hit go, work. • EMOM: Every Minute On the Minute, with an audible cue at every interval. • Intervals: Repeating work and rest, a classic Tabata-style interval timer. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • Big, high-contrast numbers you can read mid-set and across the room. • Distinct beeps for warnings versus transitions, so you never miss a cue. • The screen stays awake while the timer runs. • Choose a timer face you love: Rounded, Heavy, Serif, Digital, Pixel, or Neon. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account needed. Just download and start. • Works fully offline. No connection required. • Your data stays put. Nothing ever leaves your device. EVERYTHING IS CONFIGURABLE Work, rest, rounds, and sounds, all yours to tweak. A workout timer for CrossFit, boxing, lifting, running, climbing, HIIT, and functional training. Whether you are timing a WOD, a round, or a rest, BareTimer keeps it simple.

Path Map Studio is a standalone local utility for visual path map planning, layout prototyping, and structured layout export. It helps users create, check, reproduce, and compare solvable path-based layouts without placing every path manually. The app is designed for creators, designers, educators, prototype makers, developers, and users who need a visual way to explore path-based map layouts. Many layout tasks still depend on manual placement, trial and error, repeated solvability checks, and ongoing adjustments. Path Map Studio makes this process faster and more structured while keeping the work local on the device. With Path Map Studio, users can: - Generate structured path map layouts - Adjust the number of paths before generation - Check whether a layout can be fully cleared - Reproduce the same layout with seed-based generation - Import reference images to create layout variations - Generate multiple candidates in batches for comparison - Export structured layout files - Copy layout reports for checking and documentation All generated files are created locally by the app and can be exported by the user through the standard iOS share sheet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Path Map Studio at none against BareTimer's 1. Path Map Studio also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). BareTimer's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
