Progress Clock shows time as progress, not just hours and minutes. Open it and see how much of today has already passed, how much is left, and the same view for this week, this month, and this year. The Arcs face draws each one around the clock. Analog hands stay in the center. Dial is there if you want the classic sweep. Keep a countdown to a date, a timer to a date and time, or time since a day that mattered. One goal is included. Edit and delete from the Goal tab. Set a birthdate and Life draws every week as a dot, childhood through later decades on one calendar. Progressium is free. Other themes, large and Lock Screen widgets, the Goal widget, and extra goals are Progress Clock Premium, an optional monthly subscription. Purchases and cancellation go through your Apple ID. Birthdate, goals, and settings stay on your device. No account. No analytics.
