A beautiful fullscreen clock, for the way you actually use one. 2 Clocks turns your iPhone or iPad into a calm, oversized clock face — analog or digital, with a smoothly sweeping second hand. Set it on your desk, your nightstand, or your kitchen counter. Rotate to landscape for a wide tabletop look, or keep it upright. The time is always glanceable, always exact. FIFTEEN CAREFULLY CRAFTED CLOCK FACES Swipe between fifteen distinct designs — each one tuned for clarity at a glance and quiet enough to sit in the background. Analog faces include: • Modern Arabic with orange accents on 12, 3, 6, 9 • Classic Roman numerals with a red second hand • Elegant gold-on-black with slim hands • Apple-style minimal with the day of the year on the dial Digital faces include: • Word clock — "IT IS TWELVE THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES AND FIFTY-SIX SECONDS IN THE AFTERNOON" • LCD-style with day-of-week, AM/PM and alarm tags • Matrix terminal in glowing green with date readout • Flip-clock with vertical split panels • Bold seven-segment with HRS / MIN / SEC labels LIGHT & DARK MODE A single tap in the corner switches the whole app between light and dark. Dark mode is true black on OLED iPhones — perfect for a nightstand. TWO-TIMEZONE WIDGETS Pin 2 Clocks to your Home Screen and never miss a call across time zones. • Small widget — one clock, one timezone. Choose any city, set a custom label ("Local", "Home", "Office"), and pick analog or digital. • Medium widget — two clocks side by side, each with its own timezone, label and analog/digital style. Watch "Local" and "New York" at a glance, or any pair you like. Every widget updates with the system and respects light/dark. CUSTOMIZE FROM SETTINGS Tap the gear and configure each widget independently: • Clock 1 (small and medium) — Label, Timezone, Analog or Digital • Clock 2 (medium only) — Label, Timezone, Analog or Digital PORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE 2 Clocks looks great on iPhone in your hand, on iPad on a desk stand, or rotated wide on a kitchen counter. Every face scales fluidly to the screen — there are no awkward letterboxes. REMOVE ADS WITH A SINGLE TAP 2 Clocks is free with ads. Don't feel like an ad right now? Tap "Watch ad — 8 hours ad-free" inside Settings and enjoy a clean clock face for the rest of the day. 2 CLOCKS PRO — $2.99, ONCE One simple upgrade: • Remove all ads forever — no banners, no rewarded ads, ever • Unlock all 15 clock designs — every analog and digital face, including Pro-only styles • One-time purchase — no subscription.
