About

A nixie tube clock for your iPhone or iPad. The glowing orange digits are not photographs. Every tube outline and every bend of every numeral is drawn from scratch. Each digit is built as a single bent wire, and three layers - bloom, midtone, and glowing core - stack up to make that particular orange light. Digits that are not lit keep their glass envelope and the stack of cathodes behind it. As the time changes, lit and unlit tubes quietly trade places. Turn the device sideways and the tubes fill the screen. It is meant to sit on your nightstand or desk as the clock itself. WHAT IT DOES - Home Screen widgets showing hours and minutes, in a small square or a wide rectangle - they work in StandBy too - Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display - Hourly chime, with a three-second countdown tone and adjustable volume (it respects the silent switch) - Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing - Dim the display for night use - Protect OLED displays by shifting the clock a few points every few minutes ABOUT THE WIDGET It sits on your Home Screen or in StandBy. It shows hours and minutes; seconds do not move. iOS decides when widgets refresh, so the displayed time may lag slightly behind. Lock Screen widgets are not supported - the Lock Screen renders widgets without color, and nixie tubes do not survive that. USING IT Tap the screen to open the settings. There are no other buttons - you get the clock and nothing else. PRIVACY This app collects nothing. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising. It performs no network communication at all. Your settings are stored only on your device. REQUIREMENTS iOS 17.0 or later / iPadOS 17.0 or later Also available for Mac under the same name.

What's New in EVA Clock Nixie

1.1.0

September 11, 2026

Home Screen widgets are here. You can now place the nixie tube clock on your Home Screen. Hours and minutes glow in orange tubes. Choose between a small square and a wide rectangle. It also works in StandBy, the display you get when the device is charging on its side. In a dark room StandBy shifts to its quiet red treatment. That happens to suit nixie tubes well, so the clock stays readable as a night clock. The app itself has been tidied up as well. - The app name used to sit under the clock at all times. It now appears for five seconds when the app opens or returns to the front, then quietly fades away. The rest of the time you see only the tubes. - The tubes and the margins have been adjusted so the face sits better top to bottom. The widget shows hours and minutes. Seconds do not move. iOS decides when widgets refresh, so the displayed time may lag slightly behind. As always, this app collects nothing.
