## What is Flip Clock?

Make time a calmer part of your day. Flip Clock turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a beautifully clear digital clock, with realistic flip animations, practical timers and soothing ambient sounds.

Keep it beside your bed, set it on your desk or use it to give your next study session a clear beginning and end. A classic mechanical look meets the everyday tools you need, with no in-app paywall or subscription required to unlock features.

A CLASSIC FLIP CLOCK, REFINED
Watch the hours, minutes and seconds turn with carefully crafted mechanical motion. Large, easy-to-read numbers keep the time in focus. Choose a 12-hour or 24-hour display, show or hide seconds and the date, and hide the controls for a clean clock view.

MAKE IT YOURS
Match your space with Classic, Paper and Night appearances. Choose Rounded, Standard, Mono or Serif numerals for a softer, modern, technical or vintage look. Your preferred style carries across the clock, countdown and stopwatch.

A QUIETER BEDSIDE DISPLAY
Switch on the night preset for a dimmer clock and quieter presentation. Adjust the clock's dimming, automatically hide controls and choose whether to keep the display awake. On iPhone and iPad, use portrait or landscape. On Mac, make the clock part of your desktop setup.

COUNT DOWN OR COUNT UP
Set a countdown for focused work, reading or a well-earned break. Save frequently used durations as presets, or use the stopwatch to see how long a task takes. Both modes use the same distinctive flip display. Switching modes resets the previous timer so you can begin a new task with a clean start.

FIND YOUR BACKGROUND SOUND
Choose white, pink or brown noise, or settle into rain, ocean waves, a forest brook, gentle wind, birds, crickets or a campfire. Adjust the volume and set an automatic stop time for your listening session. Built-in sounds loop, so your session is not limited by the length of an audio track.

SLEEP AND FOCUS, READY TO START
Apply a Sleep or Focus scene to bring your preferred appearance, sound and timer settings together. Customize the presets to fit your evening routine or next work session.

TIME AT A GLANCE
On iPhone and iPad, add widgets to supported Home and Lock Screens. On Mac, add clock widgets to your desktop. Live Activities show an active countdown or stopwatch on supported iPhone and iPad systems. Use Shortcuts to start a scene or countdown, or stop ambient sound. Widget placement and Live Activities depend on your device and system version.

DESIGNED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE
VoiceOver support, Reduce Motion support and increased-contrast styling help make the clock easier to use. A focused interface keeps everyday controls close without crowding the time.

Enjoy a familiar clock experience across iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

Choose your look. Set your pace. Make a little room for calm with Flip Clock.

### 5/5 — Outstanding creative effect

*2022-12-20, version 1.0.3*

Flip Clocker hits me right in the heart, I really, really like it, but the only thing I'd add is that I could change some of the background colors and add some white noise, but still 5 stars 😊

### 5/5 — A new way of clocking

*2022-12-20, version 1.0.3*

"Great, simple, and elegant app with no ads. Used as a desktop digital clock, I love this app, everything is simple and clean, I've been wanting to buy a digital clock since I installed this app with my old phone and I've been putting it off. Thank you so much

### 5/5 — The best clock

*2022-12-19, version 1.0.3*

It's novelty and at least one thing I find interesting is the boldness, 12/24 hours, if you're not comfortable with 24 hours, 12 hours will simply tell you what you want.

### 5/5 — Super Sweetheart Clock

*2022-12-19, version 1.0.3*

"I like this app because it helps me to focus on my studies. I hope it continues to be optimized to introduce more features, such as task scheduling, where you can visually see how much time is spent on each thing.

### 5/5 — Save money on clocks

*2022-12-19, version 1.0.3*

Very nice watch that is easy to read. Everything you want to see is there. I can recommend to some people to install it. I love this app.I like that you don't have to choose between digital or analog clocks.

### 5/5 — Wow，I love this clock

I like that you don't have to choose between digital or analog clocks. Very nice watch that is easy to read. Everything you want to see is there. I can recommend to some people to install it. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Aplicações mais utilizadas

*2022-12-18, version 1.0.3*

I don't usually review apps and games, but this is an exception for a reASŌn. It is the best clock program since. Large time display - No ads at all - User friendly - Simple interface. Therefore, I give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Really like it

*2022-12-17, version 1.0.3*

"Very nice interface. But it needs more customization features like resizing to fit the phone screen, landscape and portrait so they are easy to see from a distance. Would like to add timed reminders with soothing music and multiple looks etc.

### 5/5 — Perfect results

*2022-12-17, version 1.0.3*

"It's just perfect. I have screen burn protection turned on because I use this app almost every night. If I want to use this app as a desktop clock at night, will it consume enough battery to hold my phone overnight?
