Escapement vs Sablio

Escapement is a reference clock for setting a mechanical watch precisely. A full seconds hand sweeps a clean dial. Hack your watch, wait for the minute, push the crown back in. A SIGNAL ON THE MINUTE Watching the screen while you hold a crown is awkward. Turn on the minute signal and Escapement ticks through the last five seconds, then marks the exact minute with a distinct cue, as a haptic pulse or a soft tone. You can look at the watch instead of the phone. THE SCREEN STAYS AWAKE No dimming halfway through a sync. While the clock is open the display stays on. MOONPHASE A photoreal moon rendered from NASA elevation and albedo maps, showing tonight's phase with real terminator shadows. It gives you an accurate disc to set a moonphase complication against, and tells you when not to touch the corrector. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND IN STANDBY A widget for the Lock Screen and StandBy with the time, the date and the current phase. HOW TO SYNC Step-by-step guidance for setting the moonphase disc, hacking the seconds, choosing the moment and verifying the result afterwards. PRIVACY There is no account and no analytics, and the app makes no network requests. Escapement reads your device clock, which iOS already keeps synchronised, and computes the moonphase locally. Free, with no ads and nothing to unlock. FROM THE MAKERS OF MAINPLATE If you keep more than one watch, Mainplate catalogues your collection, tracks flips from purchase to sale with timegrapher readings, and measures how well each piece keeps time.

Sablio is an hourglass timer you set in the middle of the table. Everyone can see the sand. A turn that runs long, a fight that drags on, a timed round: one tap to pause, another to start again. Set 30 seconds, 1 minute, or any duration you want. For board-game nights and role-playing sessions. Also a kitchen timer, a focus timer, or just a pleasure to watch. The hourglass is alive: slow it down, speed it up, or reverse the flow (0.1× to 10×). Styles, materials, and your name on the base. 20 languages. No ads. Run up to 4 timers side by side, each with its own time and speed. More ways to show time: analog clock, flip counter, nixie tubes, candle, sundial, ice cube, marble run, and more. Free: the full hourglass with every style and content, and up to 4 timers at once. Each other counter type is $2.99 with all its styles and contents included, and can be tried for 1 minute. Or $9.99 to unlock everything for life (updates included).
