There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't. Binary O'Clock is a glowing binary clock for your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Six columns of LEDs show the time as hours, minutes and seconds, ticking away in ones and zeros. HOW TO READ IT Each column is one digit of the time: HH MM SS. Read each column from the bottom up. The LEDs are worth 1, 2, 4 and 8, so add up the ones that are lit to get the digit. For example, a column with the 2 and 4 LEDs lit shows 6. FEATURES โ€ข Full-screen 24-hour clock with hours, minutes and seconds โ€ข Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy โ€ข An Apple Watch app, and complications for your watch face โ€ข Keeps the screen on while the clock is showing โ€ข No ads, no accounts, no data collected BINARY O'CLOCK PRO Tap the clock to open Settings, and try any of it first: a live preview shows your clock before you buy. A one-time purchase unlocks, on Apple TV, Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch alike: โ€ข Themes: White, Aviation green, and Dust, with dark dots on sand โ€ข Round LEDs โ€ข Learning mode: shows what each LED is worth and the number in each column โ€ข 12-hour time โ€ข A speaking clock: touch and hold the clock to hear "14:32 and 20 seconds", then a beep exactly on the second No subscription. The classic blue clock stays free, widgets and complications included. Also on Apple TV and Mac. Perfect on the nightstand in StandBy, on your wrist, or as a daily brain teaser for anyone learning binary.

yourclock turns any spare screen into a clock worth looking at. Forty-three clock faces, each one a different idea about what a clock can be. A railway platform clock. A flip clock that never rattles. A terminal readout. A Mondrian. Every minute of the day as a single dot, filling up as the day goes on. Pick the one that suits the room, set the phone or iPad down, and let it run. TWENTY-FOUR FACES, FREE Classic and Roman analog, a minimal digital, a flip clock, a word clock that spells the time out, a terminal, a neon dial, an orbit, a horizon that tracks the light, constellations, an hourglass, a pendulum, lava, an aquarium, a screen that floods with colour as the minute passes, and more. No account, no ads โ€” they're simply yours. NINETEEN PREMIUM FACES Railway, Aviator, Retro LCD, Halo, Wheels, Mondrian, Plain, Line, Tide, Hour, Week, Radar, Gauges, Metro, Vinyl, Cassette, Pulse, Mosaic and Iris. Each is a one-time purchase, bought individually, and yours forever on every device signed in to your Apple ID. Nothing is a subscription. SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY Tap any locked face to preview it: it runs full screen, at full size, on your own screen, for as long as you care to look. No card, no sign-up, no clock running down. Previews carry a PREVIEW watermark until you buy the face. If it isn't for you, close it and try another. BUILT TO SIT THERE Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing, so it stays readable on a desk, a nightstand, or a kitchen counter. 12- or 24-hour time. Seconds on or off. Light, dark, or follow the system. Runs full screen on both iPhone and iPad. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your chosen face and your purchases are stored on your device, and there is no server on our end to send anything to.
