Create reusable alarm sets for daily routines or schedule a one-time Quick Alarm in seconds. Stay aware of time during focused work, breaks, classes, presentations, workouts, and everyday routines. ChimeSet can play a system sound, your own audio, or an installed voice while keeping the next alert visible in the app and around the system. QUICK ALARMS - Schedule a one-time alarm after a preset number of minutes or at a chosen time. - Customize two duration presets, two time-of-day presets, and the alarm sound. - Add a title to a Quick Alarm and have it spoken after the selected sound. - Start Quick Alarms from the app, Mac menu bar, iPhone or iPad widgets, App Shortcuts, or Command-1 through Command-6 on Mac. - Quick Alarms appear in Up Next and remove themselves after their scheduled time. REUSABLE ALARM SETS - Specific Time: create one or more alarms at exact times. - Every Hour: choose minute marks within a time range for hourly reminders and chimes. - From Now: build a repeating interval timer or a custom sequence of alarms. - Repeat every day, on weekdays, on weekends, or on selected days. - Exclude holidays and other all-day events using a selected calendar. - Start or stop an entire routine with one switch, or use the Space key on Mac.

The next thing is already decided. Rundle runs your routine one step at a time, so you are not standing in the kitchen at 7am deciding what happens next. A calm ring counts down. When it ends, the next step is already on screen. Built for how ADHD actually works: • One step at a time. Not the whole list. • A visual countdown you can read from across the room, and on your lock screen. • Park a thought the moment it interrupts you, and come back to it when you are done. • See the week you actually had. No streaks to protect, no guilt for the days you missed. Every routine is free. All of them. There is no cap and no upsell in the middle of your morning. The one time upgrade adds routine reminders and every theme. No subscription. No account. No ads. No AI. Your data stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. There is no server, so there is nothing for us to see. Accessibility is not an afterthought: • Full VoiceOver in the routine runner • Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility sizes • Reduce Motion honored • Haptics can be switched off

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: ChimeSet at 3 against Rundle's 1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
