About

Glitch Clock

Features
Read full description

Hamon turns your screen into a calm pool of water. Tap to drop a ripple and watch it spread, interfere with others, and reflect off the edges — a real fluid simulation, not a looping animation. Switch to ink and stir colors together with your finger: indigo, vermilion and viridian blend the way real ink does in water, then slowly sink and fade. WATCH A living water surface you can touch. Leave it be and ripples appear on their own. CLOCK The time floats on the water, gently distorted by every ripple. Choose a calm water surface or flowing ink behind it. CREATE Adjust the flow — distance, waves, ink density, swirl — and save your own patterns. Designed to be quiet. The interface fades away so only the water remains. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device.
