This fantastic clock app replaces the number-based time display with a minimalist text display: Time transformed into words will revolutionize the way you perceive time and use your clock. The way this clock shows you the current time is stylish and elegant, and the reassuring changing illumination of words helps decelerate your day. This clock will not indicate the time down to the last second, even though it calculates the time exactly – it is the aesthetic symbol for a human who, liberated from the pressure represented by the second hand, decoratively integrates this relaxed attitude in his or her living environment. With time4words, your device becomes a cult design object and attention-getter wherever you go and is the right clock app for all enthusiasts who appreciate aesthetics and refuse to let themselves be hurried by the clock.
