A pure, full-screen clock display for bedside, desk, nightstand, and any moment that deserves a stylish piece of time on screen. — 54 CLOCK FACES, 9 FAMILIES — A curated library, not a clutter of variants. Every face is its own design study. • FLIP (6) — Solari, Railway, Mono, Dual, Minimal, Scroll. Mechanical card flips that read clean from across the room. • WORD (5) — Qlock, Sentence, Haiku, Minimal, Braille.

Shape, pattern, and rotation tell time. • ORBITAL (4) — Moon, Rings, Sector, Solar. Celestial motion as a clock. • LIVING (6) — Breath, Dust, Fog, Pulse, Tide, Wave. Slow ambient motion, never twitchy. • RETRO (3) — VFD, Amber, Neon. Vintage glow with modern fidelity. — DESIGNED FOR THE NIGHTSTAND — Built first for the moment you set your phone face up beside the bed. • Auto-hiding controls — chrome fades after a few seconds, only the clock remains • Tap-to-reveal back and dim — never accidental, always there • Deep blacks for OLED — won't light up the room • Precise typography that reads at a glance, even half asleep — FULL-SCREEN, NO CLUTTER — No alarms, no widgets, no ads in the way. Just one clock, taking the whole screen. • Portrait and landscape — phone stand-ready • Smooth 60 fps motion across every animated face • Optimized for OLED iPhones — true blacks, deep contrast • Works completely offline — PERFECT FOR — • Bedside / nightstand display • Desk and home-office screens • Reading-room or studio backdrop • Sleeping-baby room with a soft Living face • Lock-screen-style fullscreen during focus time • Stylish secondary clock on an old iPhone — PREMIUM — A small set of faces is free forever — bring up the gallery, pick one, set your phone down. Premium unlocks the full library and every future design. • Weekly $4.99 • Yearly $29.99 with a 3-day free trial • Lifetime $49.99 — one-time, no subscription Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled in Settings; lifetime is a one-time purchase. — BUILT FOR iOS — • Pure SwiftUI, no third-party tracking SDKs • iPhone 13 and newer recommended • All iPhone screen sizes supported, including landscape • Tiny install footprint, fast launch — WHY THIS APP — Most clock apps lean on alarms or timers and treat the face itself as an afterthought. This one starts the other way around: every face is a design first, the rest is just controls that get out of the way. If you've been hunting for a clock that looks good at 11 pm and at noon, you're in the right place. — LEGAL — Terms: https://leanstudio.asia/terms-of-use Privacy: https://leanstudio.asia/privacy-policy Support: support@leanstudio.asia
