Stand your iPhone or an old iPad sideways on your desk. Now it's a clock. Clockist has six clocks, each a tribute to a real piece of design: the split-flap airport board, the cold-cathode Nixie tube, the German minimalist desk clock, e-ink paper, a titanium instrument dial and Liquid Glass. Swipe left or right for a different clock. The screen stays on. SIX CLOCKS • Mechanical Flip — Solari-style cards that really flip every minute (free) • Paper — big numerals with an ink-on-paper feel (free) • Nixie Tube — unlit cathodes still visible inside the glass, in amber, ice, jade or rose • Classic Desk Clock — a nod to German industrial design, with selectable backlight; sound and settings live on the panel • Titanium — brushed, blasted, weave or guilloché finish • Liquid Glass — six flowing colors Every clock works in landscape and portrait, with a 24-hour option, seconds and a mechanical tick. DAYS: COUNT DOWN OR UP • Count down to a day, or count up from one • Birthdays and anniversaries repeat every year and count to the next one • Days within 30 days, anniversaries and every 100th day show up on the clock face for a while • Show the count in large numerals in place of the time • Get a reminder at 9 AM on the day, or add it to Calendar • Days back up to iCloud and restore on a new phone FOCUS TIMER The same clock becomes a focus timer: 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes, same look. Add rain, ocean waves, night forest, campfire, café, library, brown noise or a mechanical tick. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS • A Home Screen widget for every clock, with its own appearance, Nixie color or titanium finish • Paper Calendar: the month and the time together • Days widgets in small, medium and large (and extra large on iPad); the large one lists all your days; four styles • Lock Screen clock and Days CLOCKIST PRO Free: the Mechanical Flip and Paper clocks with their widgets, the focus timer with every soundscape, and up to 3 days. Pro unlocks all six clocks, every Liquid Glass color, all Pro Home and Lock Screen widgets, and unlimited days. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your Apple ID settings.
