Fast and fun timer. Swift time setting dial This timer app features a unique swift time setting dial to rapidly set the duration from seconds to hours in just one swipe round. Start offset option A counter is started when you first touch the Swift Timer icon. You can leisurely set the duration required and touch the counter. It is then as if you started the timer when you touched the Swift Time icon. This is great for when every second counts such as timing an egg! There are many great sounds to choose from from gentle, like a Tibetan bell, for meditation to a beeping alarm clock for instant attention.

Send a whole trip, project or client handoff as one bundle โ notes, files, photos and places โ in a single share. Sling is for anyone tired of firing off six separate messages to get one thing across. THE PROBLEM One PDF here, a photo there, an address in a third message, a note in a fourth. The other person has to piece it together, and something always gets lost. WHAT SLING DOES Sling gathers everything about one thing into a single named bundle, then hands the whole bundle to your phone's share sheet โ so it goes out through WhatsApp, Messages, email, Telegram or Drive in one action. HOW IT WORKS Make a bundle and name it. Drop in notes, photos, files and places. Hit share โ the whole bundle goes at once. PERFECT FOR โข Trip itineraries โ flights, hotel and what to pack, in one send โข Client handoffs โ deliverables, links and notes together โข Project briefs โ the spec plus reference photos and files โข Event details โ schedule, venue pin and a photo โข Apartment move โ inventory photos, lease PDF, new address โข Team updates โ status note, screenshots and the relevant docs EXAMPLE BUNDLES โข Trip bundle: flight PDF + hotel address pin + packing note + 4 photos โข Handoff bundle: final export ZIP + design link + a note on what's left โข Move bundle: lease PDF + 10 room photos + the new place dropped on the map WHAT GOES IN โข Notes โ plans, links, anything you'd paste into a chat โข Photos โ straight from your library, several at once โข Files โ PDFs, docs, tickets, spreadsheets, ZIPs โข Places โ drop a pin, name it, send it as a real map link HOW IT ARRIVES Two ways to send. One-file mode packs your note and every attachment into a single ZIP โ best for chat apps that otherwise drop half a share. Or send text and files side by side โ best for email and Telegram. Either way the recipient gets everything together, nothing to chase. START IN SECONDS โข No sign-up wall โ open the app and start building โข Add a Google or Apple account later to back things up and keep the same bundles across phones FREE & PRO โข Free covers everyday bundles with generous storage โข Pro raises the storage ceiling and removes ads PRIVACY Your bundles sync to your own account. Sling only asks for what a share needs โ photos you pick, files you choose, and location only when you add a place. Pack it once. Send it anywhere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sling at weekly against Swift Timer's every 13 months. Swift Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
