Binary Clock turns your iPhone into a beautiful binary timepiece for your desk, nightstand, or a charging dock in landscape. Read the time the elegant way. Six columns of glowing dots show the hours, minutes, and seconds in binary, floating on a pane of Liquid Glass over slow, living artwork. LIVING BACKGROUNDS Swipe through a gallery of hand-built backgrounds that drift, glow, and breathe: - Aurora, a living color gradient - Cosmos, deep nebula with a twinkling starfield - Borealis, northern lights over a starry sky - Horizon, a cinematic sunset - Ridges, misty layered mountains - Mercury, flowing liquid metal - Artwork, an editorial sun over hills - Contemporary, minimal drifting light - Pattern, a pulsing halftone wave MADE FOR STANDBY Leave it running while charging and the screen stays awake with a calm, always-on display. A matching widget brings the binary clock to StandBy and your Lock Screen. BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN - A Liquid Glass clock face with refractive, glassy dots - Live local weather and the date - Clean controls that fade away on their own - Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad NEW TO BINARY? It is easy. Each column is one digit. A lit dot counts, from top to bottom, as 8, 4, 2, and 1. Add the lit dots in a column and you get the number. You will be reading it in a day. PRO One simple, one-time purchase unlocks every background, color themes, and the always-on standby display. No subscription, ever. Tell the time in binary. Make it art.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: See through Clock at none against Binary Clock's 1. See through Clock also leads on iOS requirement (15.8.3 vs 26.0). Binary Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
