Hourglass vs ICSx⁵
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Hourglass
A simple application that can be used to start a timer from one second to one hour. The app can then be closed or left open, while a status bar notification reminds you that you have a timer in progress. Upon reaching 00:00, an audible bell as well as a short vibration and visual pop-up will indicate that your timer has ended. Great for reminding yourself to do something, or for use while playing games that require timers!
ICSx⁵
ICSx⁵ allows you to add/subscribe and manage external (Webcal) and local (i.e. Dropbox, adb push etc) iCalendar/.ics files on your Android device. Add high days and holidays, your sports teams events, time tables of your school/university or any other event files that come in ics/ical format. The app will import these events for you and displays it in your favorite calendar app on your Android – it integrates seamlessly into your device. * Subscribe to Webcal feeds (= synchronize at regular intervals) e.g. shared calendars from icloud.com * Subscribe to local .ics (iCalendar) calendar files * Allows to open webcal:// and webcals:// URLs, e.g. from your Web browser * Seamless integration to other calendar apps * Set a sync schedule * Intelligent update checker to save bandwidth * Authentication and HTTPS supported
