BUILT ON A DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Timedash Widgets was born from our love of 70s Ana Digi watches. Half analog, half digital, these cult classics laid the groundwork for every digital watch that followed. With bold graphics, deliberate typography, and a retro-futurist character Timedash channels that same spirit of analog-digital fusion into widgets for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SNAP TOGETHER YOUR PERFECT WIDGET Think of Timedash like LEGO for your Home Screen. The power is in its design flexibility. Every widget is built from components, such as clocks, weather, steps, date, calendar, countdown timers, world clocks, photos, and more. Mix and match them in any combination, swap data points without redesigning from scratch and change colors instantly. → Pick your components (time, date, weather, activity & health, photos, and more). → Set your favorite colors.

Read full description

tone is a photo app that gives your pictures the character of stencil printing. Pick a photo, and fine halftone dots and overlapping inks turn it into something like a two-color poster or zine page. Layer photos together in one printed composition. Drawings and text can also be added as material for the overprint. In Simple mode, tap the random buttons to explore combinations of colors, halftones, and frames. A guided tour walks you from loading an image to exporting it. Inks that fit your photo can be chosen automatically. Export right away, or fine-tune dot frequency, screen angle, density, and print behavior for each color. Move, scale, and rotate photos directly on the preview. Crop each image and edit its corners and margins on the canvas. Add rounded corners, hand-cut edges, and paper grain to finish it like a poster or card. Save finished artwork to your photo library. For physical production, export print-ready artwork or a separate file for each ink with finished dimensions, bleed, Standard / Japanese crop marks, true-size imposition, and PNG / JPEG / PDF output. tone supports iPad in portrait, landscape, and Split View. On a wide screen, keep the preview and controls side by side and adjust their widths for your workspace. Your latest artwork and editing settings are saved on device and restored automatically the next time you launch tone.
