Tijd is a simple application that displays the time, in fullscreen, and in any orientation. What Tijd does differently than other, similar applications is that it displays the time in a font that completely fills the screen. You can also easily set the brightness and contrast of the screen, just by swiping your finger. Tijd was created out of necessity for people who have bad eyesight. Other clock applications display the time centered in the screen, and they waste 20-30% or more of the screen real estate that could have the time in it. The time fills the screen in it's current orientation, every last inch, so that even without glasses you can clearly see the time at night. Designed with a low light profile so that it doesn't disturb your rest, Tijd has a place beside everyone's bed. For now, Tijd is ad supported. Coming soon is an option to remove them. Largest possible numbers fill the screen. Time is easy to read even without glasses. Absolutely FREE! Device will not automatically lock while Time is running. Color contrast can be adjusted by swiping left or right. Display brightness can be adjusted by swiping up or down. Numerous updates coming soon -Free of course!-
