TI vs Polaris

This clock App is meant for all those users who like to get the time in unusual or challenging ways. This App can display the time in many different ways, like for example as decimal time (which was introduced in the French Revolution), as hexedecimal time (the idea goes back to the 19th century), as "Swatch Internet time" and many others. The most challenging clocks are the trigonometry clock and the PT clock, which requires some mathematical or chemical knowledge to interpret the time correctly. This clock is for "Geeks" ;-) The App shows the time in big letters which are easy to read even from the distance. So you can use an (old) iOS device put it on a shelf so it just shows the time. Feel free to make suggestions for other "geeky" clocks I can add in the future...

Polaris turns the night sky as it actually looks from where you are into a living Home Screen widget — a quiet planetarium clock. ■ A real sky It plots ~9,000 stars from the Yale Bright Star Catalog, computed from your chosen city's latitude, longitude and sidereal time, so what's rising and where is faithful to the real sky right now. Star brightness and color (blue-white to orange) are true to life. No location permission needed — just pick a city. ■ Clock & calendar Layer an analog clock (10 frames × 5 hands × date fonts) or a digital clock (8 typefaces) over the stars. A monthly calendar and a corner date/weekday are available too. ■ More of the sky • Shooting stars streak by now and then • Star names label the bright ones — Sirius, Vega, and more • Constellation lines connect figures like Orion and the Big Dipper ■ Widgets Small, medium, large and extra-large are all supported. Each size saves its own design, so you can compose your Home Screen exactly how you like. There's also a clock-free "sky only" widget. ■ Details • Pure black background — quiet and striking on OLED • Switch between English and Japanese inside the app • 39 cities worldwide, plus automatic detection A bedside clock. The centerpiece of your Home Screen. The night sky, always in your hand.
