## What is Nightglow?

Night Clock gives your old iPhone a beautiful second life.

Set that spare or retired iPhone on your nightstand or desk, turn it
sideways, and it becomes a gorgeous always-on clock — inspired by iOS
StandBy mode, but delightfully simple.

No accounts. No setup. No clutter. Just open it and it works.

THREE CLEAN MODES
• Analog — a classic clock face with local weather and battery status
• Digital 12h — a full-screen 7-segment LED display of hours and minutes
• Digital 24h — a 7-segment display with hours, minutes, and seconds

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
• Swipe left or right to switch modes
• Swipe up or down anywhere to set the perfect nighttime brightness
• Remembers your last mode, so it's ready the moment you open it
• Screen stays on, so the time is always there when you glance over
• Battery indicator appears automatically when charge drops below 30%

MADE FOR OLD DEVICES
Don't retire your lovely old iPhone in a drawer. Night Clock runs
beautifully on older models and turns them into the perfect bedside or
desk clock — useful, elegant, and effortless.

That's it. A clock that does one thing wonderfully.

COMPATIBILITY & FEATURES BY DEVICE
Some features depend on how new your iPhone is. The clock itself works
on every supported device — the extras switch on for newer models:

• iPhone 8 and newer — full experience, including local weather and
  optional HomeKit control (turn a smart plug on/off). iPhone 8 is the
  oldest model that supports weather and HomeKit.
• iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE
  (1st gen) — the clock, brightness, and battery features work great,
  but weather and HomeKit are not available on these models, so those
  features are automatically hidden.

Either way, your old iPhone makes a wonderful bedside clock.
