@Timer iPhone OS (4.5 stars with 585 Ratings)
$0.99 →Free
Setting timers can often take just as much time as the allotment you’re looking to set, right? It’s tap after tap after tap, and before you know it, you’re getting frustrating at the time you’re wasting, as opposed to monitoring.
With Timer, you can change that by choosing from a list of preset timers that require just one simple tap in order to start them up. The gorgeously designed timer icons burst from the page in their colorful arrays, beckoning you to pick them while you wait for whatever it is you’re waiting for. This app does one thing, but it does it beautifully and efficiently, which is all you can ask for.

HotKeys iPad Only (2.5 stars with 13 Ratings)
$0.99 → Free
HotKeys is an application that connects to your Mac/PC and allows you to choose from or create any number of shortcuts in an application that you can remember. Instead of having to remember that intricate combination of fifteen keys in order to get your window resized properly, just assign a hotkey in the HotKeys app and it will automatically perform the function on your Mac/PC when you press it. It’s that simple, and it’s quite useful, so power users be aware. You can download the Mac client in the Mac App Store and PC client via the developer website.
