ClockFire vs Pixels

Turn your iPad, iPhone, Mac, or Apple TV into a living digital photo frame, with the time written in real fire. A beautiful desk, bedside, and night clock over your favorite photos, with cinematic transitions, Live Scenes, and atmospheres. ClockFire first lit up screens in 2010. ClockFire 2 is a complete rebirth: rebuilt from scratch with Metal and rendered in real time on iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV. YOUR PHOTOS, BEAUTIFULLY FRAMED • Show albums, Favorites, and On This Day memories from your photo library, or import your own photos • Start right away with more than 40 stunning sample photos • Smart framing keeps faces and subjects in view • Slow, cinematic Ken Burns pan and zoom • Two portrait photos side by side on landscape screens • Discreet captions with the date and place A CLOCK MADE OF FIRE • Real-time flames, embers, and heat haze • More effects to match your mood: Smoke, Plasma, Neon, Ice, Molten Gold, Liquid Glass, Aurora, Hologram, and Minimal • Several clock styles, from 7-segment to rounded, thin, and serif • Your favorite colors, plus the date • Local weather, with temperature and conditions • Time and date formats that follow your region settings CINEMATIC TRANSITIONS • The 20 ClockFire classics, reimagined in 3D: flips, page turn, tiles, waves, ripple, twirl… • Spectacular new ones: burning paper, page curl, glass shatter, cube, dust, ink, water drop… LIVE SCENES Animated paintings rendered in real time between your photos: a cozy fireplace, northern lights, an ocean sunset, a misty forest with fireflies, an underwater lagoon, a koi pond, a black hole, a nebula, a spiral galaxy, a lava lamp, synthwave, and more. CHRISTMAS AND HALLOWEEN Three big Christmas scenes that come alive all December: • Santa’s Run: the elves’ village at the North Pole, a magic box to open on each day of Advent and, on the night of the 24th, the sleigh following midnight around the Earth, all the way to your home • Christmas Village: skaters on the frozen lake, a steam train and bells at midnight • Christmas Hamlet: a fairy tale in the woods, twinkling fir trees and a bonfire And for Halloween: fog, storms and ghosts. Try each big scene in full for an hour. YOUR MUSIC Tens of thousands of radio stations from around the world, your own songs or your Apple Music playlists, in place of the scenes’ sounds. The song playing shows under the clock. ATMOSPHERES Snow, rain, rain on glass, fireflies, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, embers, shooting stars, mist, bubbles, and light rays. Choose Seasons to follow the time of year, or Live Weather to bring the sky outside onto your frame: when it rains outside, it rains on your photos.

Pixels is a beautifully native way to enjoy your Immich photo and video library on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Built to feel at home on iOS, Pixels brings familiar interactions from Apple Photos to your Immich library.

Give a Smart Album an animated cover and its card comes alive. A PRO EDITOR IN YOUR POCKET Adjust light and color, apply filters, crop and straighten, mark up your photos and trim your videos. Lift a subject from its background or softly blur what's behind it. Save your changes as a copy or replace the original, and reopen a saved edit any time. PIXELS LOOKS Love how a photo turned out? Save your edit as a Look and apply it to any photo with one tap, or to a whole selection at once. No photo handy? Design one in Looks Creator. Share your Looks with friends on Pixels and they land right in their Filters. SMART PHOTO REVIEW Took a dozen shots of the same moment? Smart Photo Review groups them, picks the best one and shows you why. Swipe to keep or delete and the rest stay neatly tucked behind your favorite. It learns from your choices, right on your device. CLEAR OUT THE COPIES Review Duplicates finds the copies in your library and suggests the best one to keep. Keep one, keep them all or stack them together.
