Turn your iPhone or iPad into a beautiful analog bedside clock, with alarms, weather, a sleep timer and widgets. Now rebuilt for iOS 26. Description: FaceClock turns your iPhone or iPad into an analog clock you'll actually want on your nightstand, your desk or your kitchen counter. Twenty clock faces Pick from four groups: Minimal (bars, dots, rings), Numerals (including Roman, Arabic-Indic and Chinese numbers), 24-Hour dials, and Counter-Clockwise faces that run backwards. Choose a color theme, including a dim red Night theme that won't keep you awake, and a light theme for bright rooms. Make it yours Set any wall color or use your own photo as the background, then drag and pinch to frame it. Add the date, the digital time in 12- or 24-hour form, and the current temperature. Drag up or down anywhere on the clock to dim the screen for night-time. A real alarm Built on Apple's alarm system, so it rings even when your phone is locked or on silent. Choose the time, which days it repeats and how long snooze lasts. Sleep timer Count down with white noise, or an alarm at the end. The timer keeps going on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Weather on the face Local temperature and conditions from Apple Weather, right on the dial. Visual effects behind the clock can follow your weather: sunlight, fog, rain or snow. Hear the time Have the clock speak the time on the hour, half hour or quarter hour, in your choice of language. Or just double-tap the clock whenever you want to know. Widgets Clock widgets for the Home Screen in every size, including extra large on iPad, plus a minimal clock for the Lock Screen.
