A beautiful world clock, showing the world as it is between day and night. See the lights show through at dusk and fade away at dawn – something you would see in real life, but is missing from other world clocks. You can also zoom in to the map to get a better view of that area of the map. Try zooming into the area around dawn or dusk to see the transition occur in real time. In addition, a dynamic time display with your local date and time, as you have them defined on your device, are displayed below the map. You can also customize the appearance of the clock to display only date, hours, and minutes if desired. A lot of machine-assisted translations have been added as well, please comment if the translations can be improved!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Meditation at Free against Day's $1.99. Meditation also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). Day's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
