Giant Stopwatch vs PlugBrain
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Giant Stopwatch
Sports stopwatch with: giant digits and adjustable theme (color, font, size, spacing, format) control with both on-screen buttons and volume buttons lap-timer delayed-start (with audio 3...2...1... countdown). Free, small, no ads, open source (github.com/arpruss/simplestopwatch). As a bonus, includes a giant number clock (swipe to switch between clock and stopwatch). I made this so I could easily see the time while rock climbing at the gym 50 feet up. It's also useful poolside for swimming, and for other sports where you need to see the time from a distance (or close up, if you want).
PlugBrain
PlugBrain is an app that encourages regular breaks from distracting apps by blocking access at scheduled intervals. To regain access, you’ll need to solve a math challenge that adjusts in difficulty: the more frequently you use the apps, the harder the challenges become, but the longer you stay away, the easier they get. **Features** - No ads - No internet required - Blocks distracting apps - Unblock apps by solving math challenges - Difficulty increases with frequent use, decreases with focus **How to use** - Grant all required permissions - Select distracting apps - Choose your focus interval - Stay focused ;)
