nGeneTime

nGeneTime combines three complementary experiences: a kinetic desk clock, a longitude-corrected perpetual calendar, and time-based line casting for The Book of Change (周易). On iPhone, the interface adapts to orientation: • Landscape: A kinetic desk clock with magnetic motion and hourglass-style disappearance effects that visualize the flow of time. • Portrait: A perpetual calendar with lunar dates, day pillars, current Four Pillars (四柱), and date-selectable hour-pillar tables. The Book of Change (周易) From the portrait calendar, open a full-screen line-casting interface and cast one line at a time. Each cast uses the hundredth-second value of the running timer: an odd value creates a whole line, and an even value creates a broken line. Six lines form a set, and multiple sets can be reviewed. This feature focuses on line casting and visual review rather than reproducing a complete digital edition, translation, commentary, or interpretation of the Zhouyi. Longitude-corrected pillar time Standard clock time is based on a time-zone reference meridian. nGeneTime can apply a longitude-based correction relative to that meridian, offering a location-specific basis for determining hour-pillar boundaries. Calendar and pillar features • Lunar date information • Day pillars for calendar dates • Current hour, day, month, and year pillars • Selectable date-based hour-pillar tables • Time-zone and longitude-corrected calculation modes • Full-screen line casting for The Book of Change (周易) • On-device calculations Apple Watch The companion Apple Watch app provides: • Current time and Four Pillars • Optional longitude-corrected pillar time when location is available • Monthly calendar with pillar information • Selected-date hour pillars • Circular complication showing the current day and hour pillars Privacy Location access is optional and is used only to calculate longitude-corrected pillar time. Calculations are performed on-device. No account is required, and location data is not transmitted or used for tracking. nGeneTime presents traditional temporal frameworks through a clear, modern interface.
