Timeless tells the time in words instead of numbers. No second hand. No ticking. No rush. Every few minutes the words fade gently from one moment to the next – a break from the constant rush of time. Timeless is accurate to within a couple of minutes, and that's exactly the point: a clock that asks you to slow down rather than count every second. Set it on your desk, your nightstand, or a device by the window. Or send it to the big screen with AirPlay. Either way, it becomes a small piece of living design. Make it your own – Read the time in many languages and dialects, from British English to Bavarian – Pick from handpicked color themes, or create your own – Add soft light filters for a glow that's entirely yours – Keep the screen awake so the clock is always there No account. No ads. No tracking. Just time, beautifully told. It began in 2011 as time2words and was downloaded over 200,000 times. Now it's back – rebuilt from the ground up, and calmer than ever. Once it was time for words. Now it's Timeless. ## Key features - Time displayed in words - Nine language options - Adjustable display brightness - Deactivatable auto-lock - Day/night distinction - AirPlay compatibility ## Recent user reviews (6 of 6) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/timeless-the-word-clock/id431269615/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Not to sure *2016-04-04* Well it would be nice if it can be on my home screen all the time and if we could change the colors that we want but other than that I like it .. If these 2 things was fixed... IT WOULD BE AMAZING... I love it and I will definitely share this with my mom and all my auntie who need this ... Thanks so much ### 3/5 — I actually love this *2015-02-24* Although I wish we were able to make it the background or visible without the app actually being open. That's the downside to it ### 5/5 — soni *2015-01-08* Love It. Elegance , also a simple way to learn the time in a foreign language. ### 5/5 — A Nice Clock *2013-10-20* This is such a very nice clock. Really. I can remember asking my grandmother and hearing the response "almost ten to four". That was before the wide availability of digital clocks (electronic or mechanical; I've had both), and involved a better, internalized understanding of how to tell time. The response she gave is exactly the sort of information you receive from this Clock, Time To Words. I thoroughly enjoy this app. Only two things would make it even better for me. First and foremost, an alarm that I could set for different days of the week; that is, I get up at 7 AM on four different days, but at 5:15 on Sunday; and have no alarm on Wednesday and Thursday. If I could set alarms this way, I would use this as my Alarm Clock as well. Secondly, and of much less importance, would be the ability to choose various color combinations for foreground and background. But, overall, I already give this delightful Clock app 5 STARS! ### 5/5 — Nifty little ap *2013-10-19* If you like time & clocks this is fun Very simple It tells you the time in words ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2013-01-22* I know its just a waste of .99 cents but that couldve bought you another app! Anyways, its not as cool as I thought it would be, sorry app. ## Frequently asked questions about Timeless ### What is the short name for time2words - Clock?
