FaceClock is free to use with six minimal clock faces, all color themes, wall colors, the digital time and a full alarm. FaceClock turns your iPhone or iPad into an analog clock you'll actually want on your nightstand, your desk or your kitchen counter. Twenty clock faces Pick from four groups: Minimal (bars, dots, rings), Numerals (including Roman, Arabic-Indic and Chinese numbers), 24-Hour dials, and Counter-Clockwise faces that run backwards. Choose a color theme, including a dim red Night theme that won't keep you awake, and a light theme for bright rooms. Make it yours Set any wall color or use your own photo as the background, then drag and pinch to frame it. Add the date, the digital time in 12- or 24-hour form, and the current temperature. Drag up or down anywhere on the clock to dim the screen for night-time. A real alarm Built on Apple's alarm system, so it rings even when your phone is locked or on silent.
