Ringception turns the time into something worth looking at: nested concentric rings, each one quietly filling as its unit of time passes. The seconds ring sweeps smoothly. The hours ring creeps through the day. Stop to look, and you see exactly where you are in the hour, the day, the week. On iPhone and iPad it is a full-screen clock — prop your device on a desk or nightstand and let the rings turn. Tap anywhere to switch themes. A COMPLETE CLOCK, FREE • Seconds, minutes, hours, and day-of-week rings • Six color themes, including a colorblind-safe palette • Digital readout in the center • Tap to cycle themes CLOCKWORK — TIME IS THE CURRENCY The longer Ringception runs, the more it reveals. Uptime earns Ticks; Ticks unlock new ring styles and hidden themes. Eight secret patterns wait for the attentive — be watching at the right moment and you'll find one. Everything in Clockwork is earned, never bought, and every unlock stays free forever. RINGCEPTION PRO — ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE A single one-time purchase unlocks Ringception Pro on iPhone, iPad, and the Mac app: every calendar ring (day-of-month, week, month, quarter, day-of-year), the timer ring (countdown, Pomodoro, stopwatch), event countdowns, custom per-ring colors, and profiles. On iPhone and iPad today, Pro brings the Pro-only themes to the tap cycle — the full Pro feature set arrives on iOS as the app grows, and your one purchase already covers it. No subscription. No ads. BUILT RIGHT • Private by design: no accounts, no analytics, no network access at all. • Light on your battery: near zero when idle. Glance at the rings. Know the time. Watch your year fill up.
