Binary Clock turns your iPhone into a beautiful binary timepiece for your desk, nightstand, or a charging dock in landscape. Read the time the elegant way. Six columns of glowing dots show the hours, minutes, and seconds in binary, floating on a pane of Liquid Glass over slow, living artwork. LIVING BACKGROUNDS Swipe through a gallery of hand-built backgrounds that drift, glow, and breathe: - Aurora, a living color gradient - Cosmos, deep nebula with a twinkling starfield - Borealis, northern lights over a starry sky - Horizon, a cinematic sunset - Ridges, misty layered mountains - Mercury, flowing liquid metal - Artwork, an editorial sun over hills - Contemporary, minimal drifting light - Pattern, a pulsing halftone wave MADE FOR STANDBY Leave it running while charging and the screen stays awake with a calm, always-on display. A matching widget brings the binary clock to StandBy and your Lock Screen. BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN - A Liquid Glass clock face with refractive, glassy dots - Live local weather and the date - Clean controls that fade away on their own - Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad NEW TO BINARY? It is easy. Each column is one digit. A lit dot counts, from top to bottom, as 8, 4, 2, and 1. Add the lit dots in a column and you get the number. You will be reading it in a day. PRO One simple, one-time purchase unlocks every background, color themes, and the always-on standby display. No subscription, ever. Tell the time in binary. Make it art.
