A clock so beautiful you'll watch it change. Every digit is drawn by tiny analog clock faces—24 in all—their hands sweeping into position each minute to spell out the time. Part timepiece, part kinetic art. Give it sixty seconds. You'll never want a plain digital clock again. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • A living display for your nightstand, desk, or shelf • Minimal, elegant, and mesmerizing to watch • One-time $0.99 — no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases HOW IT WORKS Each digit is a 3×2 grid of six clock faces. Forty-eight hands choreograph themselves every sixty seconds, sweeping smoothly to their new positions to redraw the time. ALARMS Create alarms with a label, choose which days they repeat, and set a snooze from 1 to 30 minutes. When an alarm fires, a countdown Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, showing exactly how much snooze time remains. ALWAYS-ON / BEDSIDE MODE Long-press the clock to enter always-on mode: the display dims, overlays disappear, and the idle timer is disabled—perfect as a quiet bedside or desk clock. Tap once to exit. AIRPLAY Send the clock to an Apple TV or any AirPlay 2 display. It fills the screen in the full television layout and stays perfectly in sync. WIDGET Add the medium Home Screen widget—independently configurable per instance for time format, theme, and accent color. CUSTOMIZE • 12-hour or 24-hour format • Light, Dark, or System theme • Hand accent: System, Blue, Green, or Amber ACCESSIBILITY Reduce Motion snaps transitions instead of sweeping. Increase Contrast switches to a high-separation opaque palette. VoiceOver reads the current time as one element. The same beautiful clock is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
