Watching the time pass has never been so beautiful! Gravity Clock visualizes the passage of time by the permanent destruction and reconstruction of the clock-face. Every second the hand breaks numbers out of the dial and lets them drop to the floor where they get buried by the following numbers and eventually wither away to make room for the endless succession of time.

Haru Mado is a countdown app for quietly enjoying the approach of the coming year. The name joins haru (spring) and mado (window) — a window for waiting on the new spring. Against background animation in winter blues, with snow crystals drifting gently by, it shows the days left until the new year in beautiful style. On January 1st, and through the first three days of the year, a special celebration screen appears on its own, marking the turn of the year softly. Home Screen widgets are supported too, so you can check the time remaining without ever opening the app. Calmly, and with a little flutter of excitement, get ready to meet the new year — right there in your hand.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: New Year Countdown at Free against gravity clock's $0.99. New Year Countdown also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). gravity clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
