The Clocks app transforms your phone, tablet, or mac into a beautiful clock display, perfect for any home office, bedroom, or studio. It's perfect as an alternative to Standby Mode with even more options: ◎ 28+ gorgeous and intentionally designed animated backgrounds ◎ 15+ variations of clocks you can pair in any combination ◎ Some font and font color options for more personalization ◎ Private, no ads. Designed to be simple and stunning. ◎ Pro Park includes a download for matching screen savers on MacOS so your display can match across your entire work setup. ◎ Three clocks and three backgrounds are usable for free! ◎ Best used on a MagSafe charger, but also works on phones without it. ◎ Shortcuts support to allow Clocks to open automatically when connected to a charger Does Clocks open automatically? Not by default, but within Settings there's a tutorial on how to set it up using Shortcuts. Does Clocks replace Standby mode? We think Clocks is better fitted for daytime use and the official Standby for night time. Will you release more packs in the future? Yes! I plan on designing more backgrounds and clocks in future updates, some which will be free some which will be paid (but affordable). Roadmap - Coming soon: - Timers - More font options and settings

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Clocks at Free against Fruitstand's $4.99. Clocks also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (435 vs 5). Fruitstand's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 60%) and device support (4 vs 2). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Clocks is free to download; Fruitstand costs $4.99 up front. Fruitstand sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Clocks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clocks holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clocks has 435 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Fruitstand's written reviews are positive against 60% of Clocks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fruitstand ships an update every 6 weeks, Clocks every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
