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. Features - Digital and analog clock styles - 12-hour and 24-hour format - Seconds display toggle - Date display toggle - Weather, battery, or combined secondary row - Animated backgrounds - 8 free themes, 70+ premium themes (flat and gradient) - Custom color, font, and font size - Saveable and loadable presets - StandBy widget support - Home screen widget support - Portrait and landscape orientation - Screen stays on while in use Privacy Policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yDrZMeR5Cidf-RH8I3UB716GLMVS89r8RjYqQJAoXVc/edit?usp=sharing Terms and Conditions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URFYc55rRZAn1cDHaEeU4w9uYzU_vBL4G9SxuRpRORQ/edit?usp=sharing
