Every moment, a number turns. Flip Clock doesn't just show the time. It lets you feel time passing. Clocks are everywhere, but few make you notice that this very minute is slipping by. Flip Clock focuses on the moment the numbers change: a card flips, a new number appears, and that small motion gives time a texture. Stand it on your desk. Set it by a shelf. While the screen is on, your space feels a little more composed. Classic flip animation β€” the feel of a real flip clock Dark, Light and Dim β€” at home in any room Portrait and landscape β€” standing up or lying down Always on β€” use it as a desk clock Focus timer β€” countdowns and Pomodoro, also on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island Night mode β€” a soft red look on a schedule D-day widgets β€” count down to the days that matter on the Home and Lock Screen Wake-up alarm β€” rings even in Silent mode (iOS 26.1 or later) Made for you if you - want a desk clock with character - like small details that change the feel of a room - need time to focus on study or work - love the moment the numbers turn
