What's the difference between the two BlueSky timer apps?

You may have noticed that BlueSky offers two different timer apps! The functionality is similar, but there are differences in how the App joins a meeting, how it displays in Zoom, and how it's controlled. If you're getting started, we recommend using the integrated Timer App. This offers robust features and works directly from your Zoom Application, making it easier to use.

Both apps offer countdown timers, count up stopwatches, agendas, and clocks. Both apps also include multiple design options for color palettes, fonts, and custom branding. While we support both apps, we recommend the new Timer for a smoother experience, unless your use case requires that the Timer join your meeting as a separate Zoom participant.

Let's compare our new Timer app with our Meeting Timer Classic:
