What's New in ZenClock

26.3

July 15, 2026

Ten living clock faces. Time rendered as light: Aurora, God Rays, Liquid Glass, Prism, Ink, Starlight, Incense, Zen Garden, Lanterns, and the Color Clock in Metal. Each one breathes while you watch it and settles when you look away — easing off on Low Power, Reduce Motion, and Always-On so a beautiful clock never costs you a battery. Gentle alarms. Wake to one of three synthesized zen chimes. Snooze counts down in a Live Activity and on the Dynamic Island, so the time you have left is always where you can see it. Alarms are free. A Settings studio. Your clock now stays pinned and live while you tune it. Move through faces, themes, palettes, layouts, and type on a single rail and watch each change happen on the real thing — no more scrolling away from what you are changing. Rolling numerals. Minutes roll over instead of blinking. Choose the quiet default or the mechanical odometer. Widgets everywhere. Small, medium, and large on the Home Screen. Circular, rectangular, and inline on the Lock Screen. A Control Center control to open Zen Clock instantly. All of them follow your theme. Thank you for keeping time with us.

User reviews

Simple…

… and it works as in intended. Minimal simplicity in terms of options to tingle with but if you just want a simple clock with no ads, this is it.

Disappears in 5 minutes

I like the look, but the iPhone screen goes dark shortly after the clock starts.
