## What is Brutal Time?

Brutal Time is a typographic clock for people bored with clock apps.
It tells time without decoration, distraction, or gimmicks.

Brutal Time is shaped by brutalist design principles: visible structure, a restrained palette, and the removal of unnecessary ornament. Time is shown as type, grid, and rhythm — clear, functional, and deliberate.

The app features four distinct movements, each available in multiple modes:
- Typographic and Numeric
- Light and Dark
- Portrait and Landscape

KINETIC MOTION
Each movement can come alive. Continuous, ambient motion runs through the type — letters that breathe, sway, and resolve on their own unhurried rhythm, with multiple motion types per movement. Calm and deliberate, never a screensaver. A one-time Full Edition unlock — buy it once, keep it forever.

Additional features include:
- Three selectable typefaces
- Custom accent colors
- Home Screen widgets
- Always-On display support
- No subscription. No ads. Ever.
