## What is Spot o'clock?

Overview:
Spot o’clock is a unique clock designed to be read out of focus.
A fantastic innovation for people with poor vision and struggle to read traditional clocks without their corrective lenses.
The clock face features a unique design where colored spots are arranged around the analog clock face, allowing users to read the time by position rather than clarity.

Description:
- Similar to reading a pair of six-sided dice, where the patterns are recognized rather than counting.
- The current hour is interpreted by the position of the white spot among the visible red cornerstone spots.  
- Just ahead of the current hour white spot is the place holder open circle that over rides the red cornerstones at 2,5,8,11 o'clock.
   - The open circle is critical to the clock function.
- The minute is interpreted by the traditional position of analog clock hands.
- Individuals can read Spot o’clock at a distance typical of a bedside nightstand or greater. Results may vary per individual.
- Spot o’clock can also be easily read by active users who are physically on the go when small numbers are difficult to read in motion.

iOS features:
- Optimized for iOS18 + features
- Spot o’clock on iPhone overrides screen sleep function to remain on for extended periods such as all night bedside clock or desk clock.
    - Please keep your device connected to power supply when doing so.
- Auto orientation in either landscape or portrait modes.
- Red underline below the clock face allows the user to identify which end is down to assist with auto orientation.

Free version:
- Ad banner 
- Utilizing only the base face for those who prefer a simple, less distracting display.
-  Apple Watch companion is a practical solution for users who need a reliable time-telling app without the fuss of reading small numbers.
