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 โ 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.

The dog photo in the background of the clock changes every minute. Over 400 breeds appear. Each photo comes with the breed name, the country of origin, and a short description. Every hour on the hour, there's a three-choice breed quiz. You can save photos you like to your Encounter Book, on this device, up to 500. You can also post photos of your dog. Our team checks each one before it's published, and you're notified when its time slot is set. Photos posted that day are ranked by the number of paws (likes) they receive. Signing in with Apple, Google, or LINE is needed only to post photos and send paws. There's also a weather display and reminders for meals and walks. The weather uses your location only when you tap it, and doesn't store it.
