#1 Utility / #2 overall in Holland! This clock was made by videoing someone actually painting the time! He's inside your phone with a bucket of paint and manually changes the digits on an old-school digital clock. The "Analog Digital" app is the next installment in Dutch designer Maarten Baas' "Real Time" series. His works cross the fields of art, design, theatre and performance. The anonymous digital clock becomes a performance as each minute is being hand painted by a hidden man "in" the clock. Real Time caused a sensation in the design world, and won several international design awards. Other clocks in the series are exclusive limited editions in the collections of museums and private collectors worldwide, but the Analog Digital app is now available in the palm of your hand! Some people even buy an iPod and mount it on the wall just to have this clock :-) - Designed by Maarten Baas, Design Miami's Designer of the Year 2009. - The movie was shot in the Netherlands. - Optionally disable the iPhone screen-lock to leave the clock running. - Auto-rotating Portrait and Landscape modes. - It's a 12-hour clock - it would be cruel to force the actor to do 24 hours! - The normal iPhone alarm can be set and works while the app is open. Note, this clock does not have an alarm, because an "app alarm" only works while the app is open, and the iPhone alarm works anytime the phone is on. - You can play your iTunes music collection in the background while the app is running. - The time is always accurate; immediately when you open the app, also when you leave it running for days. - The concept of the clock is to watch time in a different way. The numbers take time to be made. This means that there are moments that the numbers are not yet ready - the man draws the time for you "while-u-wait!" - Compatible with all iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch models.

Making lists sucks. Building a loadout is awesome. Gear Locker keeps every piece of gear you own in one place, then packs it into loadouts you can print and go. Cameras, drones, laptops, radios, camping gear: if you spent money on it, it belongs in your locker. YOUR LOCKER Every item gets its own dataplate: make, model, counts, accessories, and any detail you care about. You decide how deep your records go. A name is enough; the details can come later. BUILD LOADOUTS LIKE A GAME Equip gear for a trip the way you kit a character. Range day, three night hike, family camp: tap plates to equip them, hit COMMIT, and the loadout is saved forever. Reuse it next trip or build a new one. PRINT THE MANIFEST Every loadout prints a pack sheet with OUT and IN checkboxes and a signature line. Pack against it, hand it to whoever checks the truck, or file it for your records. CHECK GEAR OUT AND IN Red means out in the field. Green means home in the locker. Check out a whole loadout at once and see at a glance what came home. YOUR SERIALS STAY YOURS Fields you mark sensitive, like serial numbers, are encrypted on your device before they sync. We cannot read them. Ever. ADD GEAR BY VOICE (PRO) Describe the gear in plain words and the fields fill themselves. You review everything before it saves. CHOOSE YOUR LOOK Three themes: Safe, Neutral, and Techy. Your locker should feel like your world. FREE TO USE, FOREVER The free tier covers 3 categories and 6 items with every feature included, and it never expires. Gear Locker Pro unlocks unlimited categories, unlimited gear, and voice entry: $5.99 a month, $39.99 a year, or $99.99 once for lifetime access. Nothing is ever deleted if you step back down. Built for people who take their gear seriously.
