Meditation Timer vs Petals
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Meditation Timer
Meditation Timer for Android is a free, open source app that can count and beep. It helps with repeating tasks, such as meditation. In essence, it is a simpler version of Foto Timer, and a rewrite of the original Meditation Timer for PalmOS from 20 years ago. Meditation Timer is working with "processes", which define how Meditation Timer counts, and how often it beeps. Processes can also be "chained" together, meaning that a process can automatically lauch another. Meditation Timer contains absolutely no AI whatsoever.
Petals
The Open Source app Petals aims to help its users to either quit weed, reduce usage or simply know how much they're using. Features - Track consumption - Time-gate your consumption - Track usage - See statistics to understand your consumption - Damage reduction instructions - Export and Import as simple CSV files - Extra privacy with a personal PIN
