Get out, take a walk, and (most importantly) Enjoy the Sunset! Get a quick and easy daily reminder before the sunset each day. As a programmer that spends a lot of my working day inside at a desk I make sure and take a couple of walks throughout the day. Living in Huntington Beach, I make sure and try to time one of those walks before dark with the side benefit of being able to Enjoy the Sunset. I hope you enjoy this little reminder everyday as much as I do. Thanks for checking this app out, Matt Automatic daily reminder requires that the app has background refresh enabled.

Widget Timer puts beautiful, customizable timers right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Pick the timer type that fits the moment, style it to match your setup, and keep it only a glance away. Every timer type, in one app: - Countdown: count down the days to a birthday, holiday, wedding, or trip, and let it roll over automatically every year. - Count Up: track the time since an anniversary, a milestone, or the day you started something new. - Progress: see how far through the week, month, quarter, or year you are. - Stopwatch: count elapsed time up from zero, starting and stopping as you go. - Standard: a simple one-shot timer that counts down (or up) to a set duration. - Repeat: a timer that repeats a set number of times, or infinitely, for periodic reminders like stretching or drinking water. Widgets, done right: - add timer widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen - interactive widgets, so you can start and stop your timers without opening the app - customize the theme of each widget, or pick one from a gallery of over 50 themes More to love: - run as many timers as you like, all at once - name every timer (emoji supported) - lots of alert sounds to choose from - multiple finished modes - local notifications alert you when the app is in the background (no network required) - long press to re-order the timers on the main screen - works with Siri and Shortcuts Some features require a purchase of either a Premium Subscription or a Premium Lifetime Unlock.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enjoy the Sunset at none against Widget Timer's 3. Enjoy the Sunset also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Widget Timer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Enjoy the Sunset asks for nothing beyond the download.
Widget Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Timer has 181 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Enjoy the Sunset's written reviews are positive against 45% of Widget Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Enjoy the Sunset ships an update every 8 months, Widget Timer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
