BarClock tells you exactly when the current candle closes, and shouts before it does. It never touches a price feed. Candle boundaries are pure clock maths, so when you ask for a warning ten seconds out, you get it ten seconds out - on the M1 scalp and on the daily close alike. WHAT IT DOES - Live countdowns for M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 and D1, with multiple timeframes visible together. - One or two alerts per candle, at offsets you choose before the close. - A full-screen chronometer ring when one alert is running, and a three-up stack when several are. - H4 and D1 anchored to your broker's GMT offset, not to UTC, so the daily close lands where your charts put it. - Ten built-in alert sounds, plus support for importing your own audio file. - Custom vibration patterns, a haptic tick through the final ten seconds, and a screen flash. - A spoken countdown through the final ten seconds. - London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney session open and close alerts. - Session and weekday filters to silence alerts outside the periods you trade. - Four themes: Trading Desk, Daylight, OLED Black and Terminal. BUILT FOR THE WAY TRADERS ACTUALLY WATCH Alerts arrive as Time Sensitive notifications, so they cut through a Focus mode. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. There is no login or price data, and the countdown itself works offline. BarClock is a timing tool. It gives no trading advice, holds no positions and sees no market data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BarClock at none against Trader Timer's 1. BarClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
