Fotouhr

Photographers know them from the crop tool: golden spiral, rule of thirds, phi grid. Fotouhr turns them into clock faces. The clock sits where the subject would sit in a good picture – in the eye of the spiral or on an intersection of the lines. SIX RULES OF COMPOSITION • Golden spiral: the numerals follow the spiral, large on the wide side, small in the eye. • Rule of thirds and phi grid: the clock sits on an intersection. • Golden triangle, diagonal method and symmetry. The focal point can go in any corner. The dial fills the whole frame as an oval – or stays classically round. WITH A RUNNING SECOND HAND Widgets normally redraw only once a minute. Fotouhr's second hand runs anyway – on the spiral and the oval it even grows longer and shorter. DESIGN YOUR DIAL • Arabic or Roman numerals, quarters only or none • Classic serif, modern or rounded typeface • Guide lines clear, subtle or off • Date, time as digits and elapsed minutes on or off • Six colour palettes from "Night" to "Paper" – or your own colours • Finely drawn hands: leaf, lance and a second hand in the accent colour, the minute hand with a fine outline ON IPHONE • Home Screen widgets in three sizes with your designs from the app. Touch and hold to switch the design, tap to edit it. • StandBy: put the iPhone on its charger sideways and Fotouhr sits there as a widget • Bedside clock in the app: starts by itself when the iPhone charges in landscape. Swipe for the next design; the screen stays on. ALARM AND NIGHT VIEW • Alarm time and volume in the "Alarm" tab, with "Snooze" and "Stop" – even with the iPhone on silent, while the bedside clock is showing • The alarm time appears below the date in the widget and on the bedside clock • Night view: the moon symbol turns the bedside clock dimmed red, only at night if you like YOUR DATA No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription. The app collects no data and needs no internet connection. It only asks to send notifications for the alarm. German, English and Spanish. Also for Mac – as a desktop widget.
