Fav Timer โ your fav, in the frame. Most timers sit on top of your wallpaper. Fav Timer puts the timer inside the picture โ your image, GIF, or video and the analog dial become one scene. Spin to start, watch the time drain away, and focus with your fav right there. Make it a scene Any photo or GIF as your background โ or video, with Premium. Crop it, position it, make it fit โ your original file is never touched. Your favorite character. Your bias. Your fighter jet. That one photo that calms you down. If you love it, it goes on the dial. Spin, don't type A 48-tick analog dial. Spin to start, tap to pause, hold to end. Time drains as a gradient, so you feel it instead of reading it. Pomodoro for deep work, or any length you want. One tap, a whole new mood (Premium) Give each tag its own theme โ #study, #workout, #reading. Then tap that tag on the main screen and the whole scene swaps before you start. A different fav for every part of your day. Nothing but the scene Double-tap the background and the interface disappears โ just your fav and the time left. Nothing else to look at. That it makes a good screenshot is a side effect. Focus, rewarded Titles, tags, and notes on every session โ tagging is free. A daily goal ring, weekly charts, and a Lock Screen Live Activity so you can start your break without opening the app. Yours, and only yours No account. No server. No ads. No analytics. Photos you set as a background are copied into the app's private storage on your device and never leave it. Free includes the full timer, image and GIF scenes, one custom theme, and your recent history. Premium is a one-time purchase โ not a subscription โ unlocking unlimited themes, tag auto-swap, video backgrounds with loop trimming, and full history search.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Leveling at none against Fav Timer's 1. Leveling also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Fav Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
