You know exactly when you have to be out the door. Somewhere between the shower and your shoes, you lose track. outtimer only cares about one time: when you have to leave. It tells you how many minutes are left, out loud, while you're holding a toothbrush, a hair dryer, or a cup of coffee. WHAT IT DOES Set the time you need to leave and tap Start. That's the whole setup. Every 1 to 5 minutes (you choose), you'll hear "12 minutes left." For the last 10 minutes, Final spurt steps it up to every minute, so the deadline never sneaks up on you. When time's up, it rings. FOR WHEN YOUR HANDS ARE WET • Keeps announcing with the screen off and the app closed • Turns your music down instead of stopping it, so your podcast keeps playing underneath • Vibration only, with three distinct patterns, for when someone's still asleep • Lock Screen widget, Live Activity, and Dynamic Island: see the countdown without unlocking MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS you just can't feel 20 minutes slipping by, a silent clock won't help. You have to look at it, and looking is exactly what you forget to do. outtimer tells you instead. PRESETS Weekday mornings, gym nights, the school run. Each preset saves its own deadline, interval, and sound or vibration. Repeat it on the days you choose, or use it once and it turns itself off.

Forge your next self, one habit at a time. V2 turns your daily routines into a mythic progression journey. Choose your archetype and creature, build habits that fit your life, and watch your character evolve as you follow through. MAKE YOUR OWN RITUALS Create simple check-offs or measured targets. Schedule habits on chosen days, at intervals, or toward a flexible weekly goal. Start with your own plan or choose a guided Trial with a clearly listed set of habits. PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING Complete a habit to earn XP. Build streaks, gain levels, and advance through eight ranks from Common to Ascendant. Misses can reduce XP and rank. Choose Easy, Normal, Hard, or Hell difficulty. Easy removes miss XP penalties; Hell raises the stakes with a whole-day penalty when any required ritual is missed. Mode changes start today; older days keep their original XP rules. Misses reset streaks in every mode. Ordinary skips preserve a habit streak without adding XP. Your overall day streak increases when every required ritual is done, skipped, on vacation or protected by a Streak Pass. Only all-done days earn perfect-day bonuses. ROOM FOR REAL LIFE Pause a ritual without losing its history and resume when you are ready. Plan vacations and recovery days. Earn a Streak Pass every 20 recorded completions, up to 12 per ritual each year. Bank passes and choose when to use them: each protects your streak and grants +1 XP. Skips, vacations, and pass-protected days do not count toward earning another pass. Correct past entries when you remember a completed ritual and use optional reflections to understand what helped or got in your way. SEE YOUR PATH Review your history, streak calendar, habit totals, and weekly recap. Earn Shards to unlock aura styles and collect milestone relics as your character develops. KEEP TODAY CLOSE Complete rituals directly from interactive widgets. Use reminders, notification actions, and App Shortcuts to stay connected to your habits. Opt into a morning briefing with your last check-in level and a positive message. Choose from alternate app icons to make V2 your own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your habit data is stored on your device and can sync through your private iCloud account when available. V2 has no separate account, advertising, or third-party analytics SDKs. Export a private JSON copy of your data whenever you need it. V2 is free to download. New users can keep five active rituals free; existing V2 users retain unlimited rituals. Core tracking, corrections, streaks, XP, ranks, earned rewards, reminders, vacations, basic Insights, and iCloud sync remain free. OPTIONAL V2 PLUS Unlock unlimited active rituals, deeper Insights with 30/90/365-day comparisons and weekday patterns, 80 exclusive path combinations, six evolving character lines, a personal epithet and oath beneath your curated path, and Celestial Forge cosmetic equipment. All plans provide the same Plus features: monthly or annual auto-renewable subscriptions, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Plus never buys XP, rank, earned badges, or streak repair. Saved rituals stay usable if Plus expires. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store subscriptions. Lifetime does not automatically cancel an existing subscription. Restore purchases from the paywall. Requires iOS 18 or later. iCloud sync depends on your Apple account, device settings, available storage, and connectivity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: V2 at none against outtimer's shown. V2 also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
