I bought a nightstand charger just for this app! ❤️

I’ve been using Disappearing Bedside Clock (DBC) nightly for years. I keep my bedroom dark, and when I wake up in the middle of the night I simply tap my nightstand to see the time displayed for a few seconds. Beautifully designed, it’s the unique app I didn’t know I needed until I started using it. Bravo!

Great!

Just what I was looking for. I like a dark room when sleeping but also like to occasionally check the time. This product allows my room to stay dark and when I need to see the time I just tap my iPhone screen and the time is displayed for a second or two (define in settings), then dark again.

Best Clock App Ever!

This is the best Clock app that I have ever tried for my iPhone(s)! Over the years I have tried dozens of clock and clock/alarm apps. Most of them have alarms, which is good for some people and a lot of fluff. I just wanted a simple Clock app that worked. When I found this Disappearing Beside Clock, it was exactly what I was looking for. This is a simple uncomplicated app that worked perfectly all the time. I have been using this Clock app for a lot of years and will keep using it. Also, the customer service is top-notch and they are always there to help. I hope you keep updating this app because in my opinion, there’s nothing out there that even comes close. The iPhone has their standby mode with all the features, but I can only use it if I am charging it all the time. I do not have to do it with this app. Please keep the updates coming cause I wanna keep using this. Thanks for creating a great product!

GOAT!

Best clock app going and I’ve had a few!

Great app!

Has what I need: dimmable for wife.

A simply perfect application

I am using this app in an iPhone 15 with firmware 17,4,1. This version has a very good way to show a dimmed clock, and I even considered leaving this bedside clock.
It no! With this version of iPhone and firmware, the bedside clock become… perfect?
I have it set to dissolve the clock after few se mods an set the color to a warm tone.
And if I touch the iPhone in the dark (or even just kick the bedside desk, it elegantly gissokves the displayed clock and darkens totally the display.
Using it for years, and will keep using it for more years.
Kudos for you!

Indispensable

One of my favorite apps ever

Light stays on

Wish I had not purchased it.
The light/time will go off after a few seconds, but the screen light still stays on. Meaning the screen is black but there is a white hue that creates a constant light. You are better off putting the clock on the main screen of your phone/iPad and just touching it to see the time.

I like it

I like it because it does not bother my wife at night. That’s good for both of us. Been married 56 years.

Favorite app!

1. Yay no subscription needed! One time cost that’s SO worth it!

2. It’s the only clock app that truly goes dim enough that it doesn’t prompt wakefulness. How can anyone sleep with a bright green Lght in their face? This one is SO subtle. Don’t judge it as too dim if you look at it in the day. Your night vision is keen if not polluted by light.

3. The simple analog face is also conducive to sleep. This is the only app I’ve seen that isn’t too “busy” with second hands and some even have ads! , all of which busy the mind. Bella and whistles are not helpful for sleep.

4. TIP: to dim, turn to portrait, not landscape. Put 2 fingers at top of clock and slowly, without stoping, scroll to the bottom. I had to ask developer how to do this. He was SO responsive & helpful!

5. I use this every night instead of a bedside clock. (If I wake, I need to know the time to know if I should go back to sleep or start waking up.)

Great app!

Best spoon my phone!

I know it’s ridiculous for something so trivial, but this bedside clock is by a mile the app that I have most affection for on my phone. It’s just so well thought through. The only thing it doesn’t do is automatically switch off the (very dim) backlight on the display after the time fade, but that’s a limitation in iOS not anything they can fix directly (and even there you just have to wave at the phone to get rid of it completely). Best money I spent on my phone by far!

I love this clock

It has become my bedside clock every night. Being able to just reach over and tap the night stand and the clock lights up. Also good as a quick night light and then fades away for sleeping.

Have been using this for years - perfect👍

Very happy - highly recommended!

Get ready for a great nights sleep

Fantastic little app that removes your annoying bedside clock light but is there when you want it (a small noiseless tap on my bedside table brings my clock back to life). It does everything it says it will with helpful additional info available on the developers website. Even though the app info says it is for IOS 11 and later, earlier versions are available if you want to revive that old iPhone 4 or 5. I received really fast and accurate support from the developer pointing me to how to download the older version. Thanks Dan for a great app and super service.

Simple and well designed

Use it everyday. I like the simplicity and elegance. And I appreciate that it works. Have used for years. Best alarm clock on my phone.

Awesome

I’ve used this app nightly for a couple years now. Works really good. Not bright. Simple. I love it. My only complaint is that the settings change on their own from time to time. I use the thin font and lowest brightness setting and sometimes I’ll open the app and it’ll be a thick font or really bright. Not quite sure why it does this. It’ll also change from always on to disappearing mode. I like it to be always on. So I just change to back. Not too bothersome. Is just weird.

Excellent

Comforting at night

Long search over

I recently purchased this app after searching for a clock that doesn’t keep me up at night blasting light in my face.
I went through a dozen apps, Amazon Echo and Google/Lenovo Clock. Nothing would go dim enough.
The clock app I was using on my iPhone 6 was the dimmest I could find until I came across your app.
I’m unable to turn the screen off completely using the proximity sensor gesture, but this app is the dimmest. Good job!
Thanks.
Would be nice to have outside temp. You can make it optional in the setting screen for those who don’t want it.

Crash

Since 14.2 update, app crashes on open.

Does exactly what one hopes.

Works as promised. I personally would prefer the screen to go completely blank (black) while the clock hss “disappeared”.
Excellent app.
