24 Hour Visual Day Clock

Read full description

24 Hour Visual Day Clock helps with orientation in time. You see in one simple visualization where you are in your day. With a 24-hour clock and colored time blocks, you get calm, overview and a sense of control. The app is intended for children and adults who have difficulty with daily structure, planning or reading a regular clock. This may include people with autism, FASD, ADHD, an intellectual disability, dementia or other support needs around time and daily rhythm. You can create time blocks for school, work, meals, free time, sleep or care moments, give each block its own color, adapt the day to your routine, view sunrise and sunset, and use the iOS widget on your Home Screen. The visual clock makes time more concrete. Instead of only numbers or hands, you see the whole day as one circle. This makes it clearer what has already passed, what is happening now and what will come later. This can support more independence, fewer questions about how long things will take, calmer transitions and more confidence throughout the day. The app works locally on your device and is easy to adapt.
