## What is TI?

This clock App is meant for all those users who like to get the time in unusual or challenging ways. This App can display the time in many different ways, like for example as decimal time (which was introduced in the French Revolution), as hexedecimal time  (the idea goes back to the 19th century), as "Swatch Internet time" and many others. The most challenging clocks are the trigonometry clock and the PT clock, which requires some mathematical or chemical knowledge to interpret the time correctly.        

This clock is for "Geeks" ;-)

The App shows the time in big letters which are easy to read even from the distance. So you can use an (old) iOS device put it on  a shelf so it just shows the time.

Feel free to make suggestions for other "geeky" clocks I can add in the future...

## Key features

- Decimal time display
- Hexadecimal time display
- Swatch Internet time

### 4/5 — Decimal time with widget / Десятичное время с виджетом

*2024-10-09*

Widget works well and you can choose its shows. But you need to specify widget from work table only, not in the app.
/
Виджет работает исправно можно выбрать его систему счёта времени, часовой пояс и цвет. Но нужно настраивать его отдельно с рабочего стола, не из приложения.

### 2/5 — Widget doesn’t work

*2023-08-11*

Widget does not work properly.

### 3/5 — App works good, widget doesn’t

*2022-10-02*

I use the USPS clock… the time in the app actually for the most part matches the actual time but for whatever reason, the widget is delayed by about 2 clicks or 1 minute. Once my normal time hit 12:01, the Usps time widget turned to 1200.

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2022-04-15*

Die App ist perfekt für den Dienst.
Wenn man eben ne DTG auf die Schnelle benötigt, mit dem Screen Widget.
Ich kann die App nur weiterempfehlen.

### 2/5 — Layout is broken on iOS 15 iPhone 8+, numerous clocks don't work.

*2022-02-09*

Some clocks still work - some don't. Like the USPS, Trigonometry clock, swatch clock and others are all aligned to the far right side of the screen, and everything except the first number is cut off (on portrait mode). Using landscape mode makes it a little better, but the Trig clock is still useless (nothing shows up) and the seconds/decimals are still cut off on the USPS/Swatch clocks. Not sure why, but honestly I think the numbers are too big or something was done incorrectly in the layout that forces all the numbers to the extreme right hand side of the screen. Even the clocks which do have all their numbers displayed are still aligned way over on the right side, not the center.
Unfortunately this app is now useless to me since i can't use Swatch or USPS time. Oh well.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2022-01-07*

Kleiner Fehler in der PSE Uhr: das Symbol von Iod ist I, nicht J.

### 5/5 — One thing missing...

*2020-06-25*

This is a great app for fun... a Watch app would make this genuinely useful (with the ability to add a complication)

### 5/5 — Love the USPS Clock, but it seems to be a click or two behind.

*2020-05-17*

Other than that, it’s great! Love the widget!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-04-22, version 1.6.1*

Great app… got all the clocks I need… oh— except the worker’s clock.

I found this clock system on oscilloclock.com… It has:

20 hours per day
60 minutes per hour
60 or 72 seconds per minute

Yep that’s right it has two different variations. Thank you!

Also the trigonometry clock does not show seconds…

And also for some reason this app does not work on Apple Watch (⌚️). Thank you thank you

### 5/5 — USPS CLOCK!

*2020-01-04*

Thank you so much for this app. Makes it so much easier on a daily basis.
