江戸の刻は、江戸時代に使われていた「不定時法」をリアルタイムで表示する時計アプリです。 不定時法とは、日の出から日没までを昼の六刻、日没から日の出までを夜の六刻に等分する、太陽の動きに基づいた時刻制度です。季節によって一刻の長さが変わり、夏は昼が長く、冬は夜が長くなります。 ■ 主な機能 ・GPS対応:現在地の日の出・日没から正確な不定時法を計算 ・十二支表示:卯・辰・巳・午・未・申・酉・戌・亥・子・丑・寅 ・鐘の数:江戸時代の鐘の回数(九つ〜四つ)を表示 ・昼夜自動切替:太陽と月の軌道アニメーション ・鐘の通知:刻の変わり目に鐘の音でお知らせ ・時刻プレビュー:スライダーで一日の刻の変化を確認 太陽が昇ったら起き、日が沈んで暗くなったら寝る。 現代人の狂ったサーカディアンリズムをリセットしましょう。
