StandBy - Clock & Display StandBy transforms your iPhone or iPad into a refined clock display, purpose-built for charging docks and always-on setups. Whether on your desk, nightstand, or countertop, it keeps time looking sharp from across the room. Choose between a clean digital clock or a classic analog face. Large, high-contrast numerals stay legible at a distance, and the display adapts gracefully to both portrait and landscape orientations. Personalize every detail to match your environment. Pick from dozens of themes — flat or gradient — each carefully crafted with its own color palette and typeface. Free themes get you started immediately; premium unlocks the full collection. You can also build your own look with a custom font, font size, and any colors you choose, then save it as a preset to switch back to anytime. The secondary row puts useful information right beneath the time: live weather conditions, battery level, both at once, or nothing at all. Animated backgrounds add depth for those who want more visual interest. StandBy also includes a home screen widget and a StandBy mode widget, so the experience extends beyond the app itself.
