Timeless tells the time in words instead of numbers. No second hand. No ticking. No rush. Every few minutes the words fade gently from one moment to the next – a break from the constant rush of time. Timeless is accurate to within a couple of minutes, and that's exactly the point: a clock that asks you to slow down rather than count every second. Set it on your desk, your nightstand, or a device by the window. Or send it to the big screen with AirPlay. Either way, it becomes a small piece of living design. Always within reach – As a widget right on the Lock Screen of your iPhone or iPad – On your Apple Watch: as a complication on your watch face – and with the Watch add-on, as a full-screen view too. Make it your own – Read the time in many languages and dialects, from British English to Bavarian – Pick from handpicked color themes, or create your own – Add soft light filters for a glow that's entirely yours – Keep the screen awake so the clock is always there No account. No ads. No tracking. Just time, beautifully told. It began in 2011 as time2words and was downloaded over 200,000 times. Now it's back – rebuilt from the ground up, and calmer than ever. Once it was time for words. Now it's Timeless.
