yourclock turns any spare screen into a clock worth looking at. Forty-three clock faces, each one a different idea about what a clock can be. A railway platform clock. A flip clock that never rattles. A terminal readout. A Mondrian. Every minute of the day as a single dot, filling up as the day goes on. Pick the one that suits the room, set the phone or iPad down, and let it run. TWENTY-FOUR FACES, FREE Classic and Roman analog, a minimal digital, a flip clock, a word clock that spells the time out, a terminal, a neon dial, an orbit, a horizon that tracks the light, constellations, an hourglass, a pendulum, lava, an aquarium, a screen that floods with colour as the minute passes, and more. No account, no ads — they're simply yours. NINETEEN PREMIUM FACES Railway, Aviator, Retro LCD, Halo, Wheels, Mondrian, Plain, Line, Tide, Hour, Week, Radar, Gauges, Metro, Vinyl, Cassette, Pulse, Mosaic and Iris. Each is a one-time purchase, bought individually, and yours forever on every device signed in to your Apple ID. Nothing is a subscription. SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY Tap any locked face to preview it: it runs full screen, at full size, on your own screen, for as long as you care to look. No card, no sign-up, no clock running down. Previews carry a PREVIEW watermark until you buy the face. If it isn't for you, close it and try another. BUILT TO SIT THERE Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing, so it stays readable on a desk, a nightstand, or a kitchen counter. 12- or 24-hour time. Seconds on or off. Light, dark, or follow the system. Runs full screen on both iPhone and iPad. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your chosen face and your purchases are stored on your device, and there is no server on our end to send anything to.
