## What is StandBy Hub?

StandBy Hub turns your iPhone's StandBy mode into a real nightstand display. Clocks, calendar, weather, countdowns and more — on their own or combined into a custom dashboard.

For StandBy (iPhone on its side while charging), the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. In small, medium and large.

ELEVEN WIDGETS
• Clock — digital, analog, pixel art, flip clock, binary
• Calendar — your next events, in five views
• Weather — temperature with the daily high and low
• Battery — charge level as percent, ring, glyph or segments
• Moon Phase — the current phase, in real time
• Countdown — the days until, or the days since
• Water — tap the glasses right in the widget
• Mood — one tap a day, with history and streak
• Year Progress — bar, ring, dots, months or percent
• Photo — your own images
• Dashboard — several of the above in a single widget

CLOCKS
Pick the style that fits you:
• Digital — Clean, modern, easy to read
• Analog — Timeless round clock face
• Pixel Art — 5 playful scenes, free
• Flip Clock — Retro split-flap charm (Pro)
• Binary — For the geeks among us (Pro)

CALENDAR — FIVE VIEWS
• Date Block — tear-off date on the left, agenda on the right (free)
• Agenda — time column and titles, grouped by day (free)
• Timeline — vertical time axis with a colored dot per event (Pro)
• Up Next — the next event up front, plus relative time (Pro)
• Cards — each event as a card in its calendar color (Pro)

COUNTDOWN
Count down the days to the big moment — or count up the days since.
• Events with date and time
• "Days since" mode for anniversaries
• Yearly repeat for birthdays & holidays
• Live timer on the final day, down to the second
• Styles: number and units (d/h/min) free — ring, tally, dots (Pro)
• Multiple events with their own background and color (Pro)

SMART DASHBOARD
Why settle for one widget? Combine clock, calendar, weather, battery, moon phase, photo, countdown, year progress, water and mood into a single one — up to 6 tiles, up to 8 on iPad.
• Live builder with drag-and-drop reordering
• Save your favorite layouts
• Custom design per slot (Pro)
• Water and mood stay tappable as tiles (Pro)

EIGHT FONTS
System and Space Grotesk are free. Pro adds Orbitron, Cinzel, Fraunces, Silkscreen, DotGothic16 and Monoton — from travel-clock dot matrix to neon tube. The font is set per widget, not app-wide.

STANDBY PREVIEW
Try any widget right inside the app in a landscape nightstand preview — including night mode.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Eleven backgrounds: Aurora, Lava and Ocean are free — Sunset, Forest, Nebula and five animated effects (Champagne Rise, Bokeh Orbs, Lava Bubbles, Particle Dots, Frosted Bokeh) come with Pro, plus a custom color and your own image
• Per-widget accent colors
• Colors that shift with the time of day (Pro)
• Light & dark theme
• English, German & Spanish
• Celsius or Fahrenheit
