WatchM3
Read full descriptionHide full description
WatchM3 turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV or Apple Vision Pro into a bedside clock, and your Apple Watch into a weather face: the time, all night long, and nothing else on screen. THREE CLOCK FACES Swipe from right to left to switch between them (arrow keys on Mac, the remote on Apple TV): • Digits: the original WatchM3 face, with large pale digits and a blinking colon. • LED panel: a pixel clock in warm white, with a seconds chaser that runs around the edge of the screen, one lap per minute. • Weather: the time in large digits, the day fading away around the edge of the screen from sunrise to sunset, the temperature with today's high, low and feels-like, wind and gusts, humidity, UV index, pressure, severe weather warnings, the next twelve hours with the chance of rain, sunrise, sunset and the moon phase. APPLE WATCH On your watch, WatchM3 shows a full-screen face under the watch's own time: the day fading away around the edge of the screen, current weather with today's high and low, wind and gusts, and the next six hours. Four complications for Apple watch faces: the day, the next sunrise or sunset, and the weather. MADE FOR THE NIGHT • Swipe up or down to adjust the brightness of the clock. Keep swiping down past the minimum to dim the screen itself, below its usual lowest setting. • Pinch to make the time bigger or smaller. • Size and brightness are remembered for each face. • No status bar, no buttons, no menus, and a black launch screen. • Your device never goes to sleep or locks while WatchM3 is open. EVERY SCREEN iPhone in landscape, iPad in portrait and landscape, a resizable window or full screen on Mac, your TV screen with Apple TV, a window in your space on Apple Vision Pro. On Apple TV, press left or right on the remote to switch faces and up or down to adjust brightness; no screen saver while WatchM3 is on screen. Folded like a tent, iPhone Duo shows the time on its outer display; set up like a laptop, on the upper half of the screen; opened like a book, the time on one page and the weather on the other. WEATHER AND PRIVACY Weather data comes from Apple's weather service. Your location is used only to get the local weather and the sunrise and sunset times; it is never sent to us. No account, no ads, no tracking.
Kidper

Kidper helps your family keep a healthier Focus and Break rhythm without turning screen time into a daily argument. Build the plan once, then reuse it. Name your Focus stage plans and switch between them in a tap: a school-night plan, a weekend plan, an exam-week plan. During Focus, only the apps you chose stay available. When the work is done, Break stages open a planned reward instead of an endless scroll. Decide how much protection each situation needs. On a kid's device, require Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN before anything can be changed. For your own phone, turn protection off and keep the rhythm without the friction. HOW IT WORKS • Create Focus stages and optional Break stages • Choose which apps stay available during Focus • Start a session from the home screen, or let it start on a schedule • Save multiple named plans and switch when your week changes • Approve unlocks from Controls, or hand approval to another organizer COMMON USES • Study routines: keep learning apps available during Focus • Reward routines: use Break time as a planned reward after Focus • Family routines: pair parent and child devices in a Group when supervision is needed • Personal routines: protect your own rules with PIN or biometric verification KEY FEATURES • Named stage plans: build a routine once and reuse it, instead of rebuilding it every week • Focus mode: selected apps remain available while distractions stay out of the way • Break stages: plan recovery time instead of endless screen time • Choose your protection: Face ID, Touch ID, PIN, or no protection for personal use • Stop early when you need to: end a running session right from Controls • Harder to remove: Kidper can block app removal during setup so the routine sticks • Auto Exit Controls: controls close themselves after a set period of inactivity • Group coordination: pair devices with a code for optional organizer approval • Guided setup: build your first rhythm in minutes PRIVACY FIRST Group data syncs only through your private iCloud. No third-party servers, no screenshots, no usage-log collection. Kidper does not monitor content. Crash reports and anonymous usage counts go to Sentry, a third-party error monitoring service, to find and fix problems; they never include names, family IDs, pairing codes, passwords, or the apps you choose to focus on. Kidper uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls) and requires iOS 16 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: WatchM3 at 4 against Kidper's 2. Kidper's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 27.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
