Pixel Clock is a nightstand clock drawn pixel by pixel. Big digits, a black background that stays black on OLED, and dimming that goes far lower than the screen itself. FEATURES • Pixel digits that fill the screen, on iPhone and iPad, upright or on its side • Swipe up or down to dim, all the way down to a faint glow • Double tap for ember mode: only the digits, as dark as it gets • Alarms with weekdays, a slow sunrise before they ring, and snooze • Seven colours plus any colour you like; light, dark or pure black background • Tap for the date, the next alarm and the battery • A few pixels fall from the digits on the hour • A StandBy widget for when your phone charges on its side • No account, no ads, no tracking ALARMS The alarm rings with a soft chime while Pixel Clock is on screen. A notification is scheduled as a backup for when it is not.
