## What is TIX?

TIX turns time into a calm, playful pattern of light.

Instead of ordinary digits, TIX displays HH as four groups of blocks. Count the illuminated blocks in each group to reveal the time, or enable Learning Mode to show the numbers while you become familiar with the pattern.

Make TIX your own:

• Choose from distinctive dark, light, retro, and modern themes.• Create custom themes using solid colors or angled gradients.• Use a favorite photo as your background.• Save color themes, sync them through iCloud, and share them as TIX theme files.• Choose solid, tinted glass, or clear glass blocks.• Shuffle the light pattern every 1, 10, or 30 seconds—or every minute.• Keep the screen awake while using TIX as a desk or bedside display.• Enjoy a responsive layout in portrait or landscape.• Choose 12- or 24-hour time with an optional AM/PM indicator.

TIX is a functional clock, a small visual puzzle, and a customizable display for your desk, nightstand, or room.

Accessibility includes VoiceOver support that announces the current time.
