A simple Bedtime Clock - No Fuss - no adverts - no social media - no location - no personal data - no complicated menus - no complicated settings - just a big clock for night time 4 Simple Interactions - swipe down to darken the clock at night time - swipe sideways to change the colour - double tap to change font - pinch to switch to day mode (and back again) The clock is designed to show the current time (from your device) in the upper 2/3 of the screen. The time is big, so that you can see it from its charging location, and the app prevents the display from going to sleep so you don't have to wake it up in the night. Swiping down slowly means that you can reduce the brightness of the time so that its not too bright for you to sleep, and there's no bright ads keeping you awake. It doesn't need any internet access, it doesn't have any unnecessary features, it doesn't need you to log in, it doesn't need information about your location, access to your pictures, or any kind of personal data. And we expect that you already have a preferred alarm app - or an entirely different alarm device. It is simply: a large night time clock, for the bed side, that you can make as dark as you like. You can cycle through six different fonts - from an olde style, to the 60s, 70s, 80s digital clock, modern, to futuristic. Just double tap to cycle through them. And change the colour by moving your finger slowly from side to side. Want a bright clock to see during the day? Just pinch (or zoom) to switch the background to white, for a colourful and bright display during.
