Timix vs Radical Timer

Timix turns timers into routines. Run multiple timers at once, chain them into complete sequences, and automatically trigger actions as your timers progress. Whether you're studying, cooking, working out, focusing, or building your own routine, create it once and let Timix keep it moving. From a simple countdown to a fully automated routine, Timix gives you control over what happens before, during, and after every timer. BUILD YOUR ROUTINE Run multiple timers side by side or chain them together into reusable sequences. Create everything from study and focus sessions to workouts, cooking routines, morning routines, and more. AUTOMATE EVERY STEP Choose from 15 triggers, combine as many as you like, at the start or end of any timer (see below). Timix can also run Apple Shortcuts when a timer starts or ends, allowing your timers to become part of larger automations. LOG WORKOUTS TO HEALTH Turn any timer into a workout. Timix can start a workout when a timer begins and end it when the timer finishes, then save it to the Health app with its activity type and duration. Choose from more than 80 activity types, including running, yoga, strength training, and mind and body sessions. Recording happens right on your iPhone or iPad. No Apple Watch required. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See completed and cancelled timers on a visual timeline. Search, filter, and compare routines, then track total time, runs, and triggers over time. START FROM ANYWHERE Use Timix on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Start your timers with Siri, Shortcuts, Home Screen widgets, and quick actions, or control them directly from your Apple Watch.

Radical Timer is a focus timer that actually holds you to it. Set a session from 5 minutes to 8 hours. You get a short grace period to lock your phone and put it down. After that the rule is simple: pick up the unlocked phone or leave the app, and the timer fails. No honour system. No "are you sure?" dialog. The phone has to stay put. HOW IT WORKS • Set your session — 5 minutes to 8 hours • Use the grace period to lock your phone and set it aside • Motion detection watches for the phone being picked up • Quit the app while a timer runs and the session fails • Finish it and your phone tells you KARMA Every session you abandon costs a karma point. Lose all ten and your timer options are limited until you earn one back by completing a full hour. It is a small price that turns quitting into an actual decision instead of a reflex. LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen, so you can see the time left without unlocking anything. FOR PARENTS Turn on Parental Control and each session shows a random emoji pair. Ask your child which emojis appeared — if they changed, the timer was restarted. CALLS STILL WORK This is not a lockdown app. Your phone stays a phone. Nothing is blocked, nothing is taken away. You simply have a reason not to reach for it. PRIVACY No account. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing leaves your device. Settings and karma sync through your own iCloud, and that is all. PRICING Seven days free, then a one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
