## What is Desamber?

Desamber is a time format invented by Devine lu linvega.

Each year has 26 months of 14 days each. Each month is denoted by a letter of the alphabet: A - Z. 

Each day is divided into 1,000,000 pulses. For example, noon is 500:000, 6AM is 250:000 and 6PM is 750:000.

"In the decimal format, the shortest pulse equals 86.4 milliseconds, the second shortest 864ms and so on. 1 beat, or 1000 pulses, is equivalent to 86.4 seconds, or about 1m26s. A second is equivalent to 11.57 short pulses." - Devine

### 5/5 — Bonkers and beautiful

*2023-02-01*

There are many other methods you can use if you actually want to know the time. This app is probably how hyper-intelligent inter-galactic aliens do it. Sublime!

### 5/5 — For fans of 100r

*2022-12-04*

Thanks for porting this :)
Really Like the Apple Watch version

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2022-09-28*

Honestly, this is more of a suggestion than it is a review. I noticed that when the line comes to an end it “magically” appears where it began. So I was wondering it the 2D model would work as a 3D model as a sphere or cube just to see/ gave a full rotation effect

### 5/5 — Interesting geometric clock

*2022-04-17*

This is an interesting geometric/decimal clock.
With a kind of Mondrian (the abstract artist), look to it.
No adds.

It would be cool, to have an in app purchase, for adding user selectable (and/or random) color fill, to the rectangles.
Also would be fun to have ability to show the calendar part, in this format as well.

### 5/5 — Mesmerizing to say the least

*2020-09-23*

The app is absolutely amazing! I love this new concept and wish it were more widely used. I am writing this review to request a widget for the app. This way we wouldn’t have to go into the app to see the time, which hasalways been an issue. Having it on the Home Screen would be the cherry on top!

### 5/5 — this is great

*2020-09-22*

wonderful app, another way to perceive time
Edit: YOU NEED TO MAKE A WIDGET FOR THIS APP! :}

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2020-06-21*

This is a really cool concept that I was very happy to discover, I love this time format, I just wish there was a way to set it for your lock screen on your phone or something similar. Even so, a very interesting and good app 👍

### 5/5 — Honestly I love it.

*2020-01-26*

It’s quite a satisfying app to watch tick by, and the design is amazing. I’d love a built in description of the time format itself (most likely via a small question mark button in the corner) so I can explain it to friends who don’t understand. Great app, what else can I say?

### 3/5 — Nun ja,

*2019-12-22*

wenn man jetzt noch wüsste was das Ganze soll...

### 5/5 — fun way to pass the time

*2018-12-29*

fun new way to perceive time and is very relaxing to sit and look at. i’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept and it’s fun to try to measure time in a different format. would love if there was a way to make this a watch face ☺️👍🏽
