eve - countdown to what matters eve is a beautifully minimal countdown app that keeps your most-anticipated moments always in view - on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and in Siri. Add a moment in seconds. Give it a name, pick a date and time, choose an accent color, and you're done. eve handles everything else. A widget for every spot. Choose from three widget sizes - Small, Medium, and Large for your Home Screen, plus Lock Screen and StandBy widgets that show a live countdown at a glance. Tap the cycle button on larger widgets to flip through all your upcoming moments without ever opening the app. Live Activity & Dynamic Island. Pin your most important event and eve puts a live countdown on your Lock Screen and in your Dynamic Island, counting down the hours and minutes as the moment approaches. Set how early it activates - anywhere from 24 hours down to 1 hour before. Ask Siri. Tell Siri "Add an event in eve" and it creates a countdown by voice. Ask "What's next in eve" to hear your nearest upcoming event read back to you - no screen required. Always accurate, always live. Day view counts down in days. When your event is less than a day away, eve switches to hours and minutes. In the final hour, a live timer ticks in real time across both the app and your widget.

Focus Timer

Every session from now on is a step toward a more mindful life. Focus Timer is a simple way to see where your time actually goes. Make a handful of categories for anything you want to measure, good or bad: Work, Reading, Studying, Meditation⦠or Gaming and Scrolling, if you're up for it. Then start a timer with a default track and break time whenever you start one of them. That's the whole habit. After a few days the numbers start talking, and most people are surprised by what they hear. HOW IT WORKS ⒠Pick a category, tap Start. ⒠Pause when life gets in the way. Pauses are saved too, so your history stays honest. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES ⒠Your day as a timeline, in each category's colour. Pinch to zoom in, all the way down to the minute. ⒠Every past day and week is there too. ⒠Filter by category to see just your Work, or just your Gaming. ON YOUR WRIST ⒠The Apple Watch app runs sessions on its own. Turn off your iPhone, leave it in another room, and keep tracking from your wrist. ⒠Start on your iPhone, pause on your Watch. They stay in sync. JUST TELL SIRI ⒠"Start Work in Focus Timer." Any category works, no setup needed. ⒠Pause, resume, stop, take a break, or ask for today's summary without touching a thing. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY ⒠Everything syncs between your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch through your own iCloud. ⒠Export your whole history to CSV or SQL anytime, with a README that explains every column. Hand it to your spreadsheet, your analytics app or your AI and ask things like "Which hour of the day do I get the most tracked time, and is it different on weekends?" ⒠Import it back whenever you like. ⒠No accounts, no ads, no tracking. We never see your data. OUR PROMISE Create a handful of categories and keep tracking your sessions through the week. This one simple change will save you hours of your life, every week. We know from our testing that this works for most people, but certainly not everyone. If the experiment doesn't save you real time after a few days, please feel free to delete the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eve at none against Focus Timer's 2. Eve also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.4). Focus Timer's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
