LocalClock vs TheoPad

LocalClock is a world clock for the place you are standing, and for the people you keep in touch with. Your city stays at the top. The clock, the date, and the sky all follow that place. Drag the line from west to east and the hour moves with you, city by city. Let go, and it springs back to where you are. When the place on screen is not home, the date shows how far ahead or behind that hour is. Solar time sits under the clock. It follows longitude, not the time zone, so you can see when the clock and the sun disagree. After sunset the dial on the line is a small moon. In daylight it is the sun. Contacts keeps a short list of people. Each row shows the country and the city, the local time, and a note if you wrote one. On Saturday and Sunday in their city, a small Weekend label appears. Weekdays stay quiet. Tap a person to edit the name, the city, the note, or a photo. Pin someone with Show in widget. The small widget shows one person and the full time, including seconds. The medium widget shows three. The large widget shows six, in the order of your list. A weekend label appears on the medium and large widgets, not on the smallest one. The app can follow the system language, or you can choose Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, or Spanish. The change is immediate, including on the widgets. Time can follow the system, or you can lock it to 24-hour or 12-hour. Location is used only to name the city you are in. If you decline, LocalClock uses the city that represents your time zone. Photos you add for a contact stay on the device. There is no account, no feed, and nothing to sign in to.

TheoPad is the specialized, local notes app for Jehovah's Witnesses—designed to provide optimal support for your personal Bible study, meetings, and preaching work. The focus is on what matters most: writing without constantly switching between apps. Here's what TheoPad offers: Automatic Bible Integration (NWT) Simply type Bible verses into your text (e.g., "Matthew 24:14" or "Psalm 23:1-4"). TheoPad automatically recognizes them, links them, and displays the New World Translation verse directly in a preview window. This helps you stay in the flow of writing while studying or preparing for the preaching work. Convention Program Import You can directly import programs for regional or circuit conventions (as RTF or ZIP files). TheoPad automatically creates a structured outline, so you can immediately record your notes for each talk in the right place. Networked Study & Structure - Note Linking: Link your notes together. Ideal for creating cross-references between different study projects or lectures. - Focus Editor: A clear editor with formatting options (bold, italics, lists) for your thoughts, lectures, or comments. Organization Your Way Organize your notes in folders or use tags to quickly find topics. Pin important notes for ministry or meetings for quick access. If you accidentally delete something, the trash keeps your data safe. Optional Cloud Sync Keep notes, folders, tags, images and videos in sync across your devices – using your own Google Drive or iCloud account (iCloud on iOS only). Sync stays off until you turn it on in the settings. Your Data Belongs to You (Privacy First) TheoPad stores everything locally on your device. Only if you turn on sync is your data stored, encrypted, in your own cloud account. - No Registration, No Tracking: We don't collect any data. - Backup Option: Use manual backup or the encrypted system backup (Google Drive / iCloud) to take your data with you when switching devices. Customizable Design Use dark mode for relaxed reading during meetings or customize the app's accent color to suit your personal taste. IMPORTANT: Setup After Installation For copyright reasons, TheoPad does not include pre-installed Bible texts. To enable automatic detection, you must import the Bible file from jw.org once. This is explained simply in the app and can be done in just a few steps. Once the import is complete, TheoPad works completely offline. Legal Notice: TheoPad is a private project by a single developer and is not officially affiliated with jw.org or the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
