Put a beautiful clock on your desk and focus on your work or study. Clock Gallery turns your iPhone and iPad into a focus clock for your desk: a Pomodoro-style timer (25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break), a Flowmodoro-style count-up when you'd rather not set a time, and calm sounds like rain and a campfire. In front of you, one of 130+ beautiful clocks. For working from home and for exam prep. FOCUS & BREAK (POMODORO-STYLE) - 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break, with a longer 15-minute break every 4 rounds. Times and rounds can be changed - It starts as soon as you turn it on. The clock stays in view; a small ring and time in the corner show what's left and whether you're in focus or on a break - Two soft tones mark each change FOCUS COUNT-UP (FLOWMODORO-STYLE) - Start focusing without setting a time, and take a break whenever you want - Your break is based on how long you focused (for example, 10 minutes after 50 minutes of focus) SOUNDS FOR FOCUS - Rain & Thunder, Rain in the Forest, Jungle and Birds (nature recordings) - Waves, Campfire, and white, pink and brown noise - Plays separately from the clock's own sounds, and keeps playing your last sound when you reopen the app - Choose when to stop: 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours TIMER & COUNTDOWN Show a timer, or a countdown to your exam or deadline, over your favorite clock. YOUR FEATURES, ON ONE SCREEN From "Features On/Off" on the clock picker, turn 17 features, including Focus & Break, Focus Count-Up, Sounds, Timer, Dim at Night, Calendar, Weather and more on or off in a tap. DIM AT NIGHT At night (10 PM to 6 AM to start with), the screen dims so it isn't too bright. You can change the hours and brightness. 130+ BEAUTIFUL CLOCKS Analog, digital, flip clock, neon sign, Nixie tubes, wadokei (Edo-period Japanese clock), sundial, a mechanical watch movement, a day-and-night world map, a kids learning clock and more. Every clock tells its story in "About this clock": the history of the clock it is based on and its design details. Seconds, date, weekday and sound are saved per clock, and Favorites can give you a different clock each day. MASTERPIECES, UKIYO-E AND STORYBOOKS Display over 100 public-domain paintings (Hokusai, Hiroshige, Monet, Vermeer, Van Gogh and more) with the time, and storybook illustrations published before 1930, gently animated (Alice in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and more). TODAY'S AGENDA AND WEATHER, RIGHT BESIDE THE CLOCK - Your events for the day and "Next event in 12 min" - Works with Google Calendar and Apple (iCloud) calendars - Weather from Apple Weather - Public holidays for your country NOTHING COVERS THE CLOCK No ads and no rating pop-ups over your clock.
