Read full description

Nixie Tube Clock is a minimalist digital clock inspired by classic vintage Nixie tubes. This app focuses on atmosphere rather than features, recreating the warm glow, glass texture, and subtle reflections that define the character of Nixie tubes. Choose a glow color to match your space — from classic orange to cool cyan, deep purple, and more — and see the same look on your Home Screen widgets. The bright core of each digit stays true to a real tube, for a calm, immersive clock that blends naturally into your space. Features: • Home Screen widgets that follow your glow color and reflection settings • Multiple glow colors with realistic glass-inspired visuals • Subtle floor reflection for added depth • Landscape mode with seconds and animated high-speed counter • Clean, distraction-free interface • Fully offline — no ads, no data collection Tap the screen to reveal settings, which automatically fade away after a short time. Designed with battery efficiency in mind, making it suitable for extended display. Ideal for desks, nightstands, and ambient displays where design matters as much as time.
