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. They follow the clock settings you chose in the app. Also included Now Playing controls for the Music app · battery ring with charging status · keep-screen-awake for bedside use · full iPad support in portrait and landscape · English and Japanese.

Design your own home screen widgets, including widgets with real detail: exact moon phase, ticket-stub countdowns, script clocks and habit trackers. Pick a look and a wallpaper, and Widgetly makes widgets that match, in about a minute. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a look: Old money, Dark academia, Coquette, Frutiger Aero, Cottagecore, Y2K, Celestial and more. 2. Choose a wallpaper for that look, or use your own photo. 3. Widgetly reads the colours of the wallpaper and finds the calm areas, so your widgets sit where the text stays easy to read. 4. Fine-tune it with three sliders: cozier or cleaner, calmer or louder, fewer or fuller. 5. Follow the guide to add the wallpaper and the widgets to your phone. Widgetly cannot place widgets or change your wallpaper for you, because iOS keeps that to you. The app guides you step by step and shows where each widget goes. MORE THAN 60 WIDGET DESIGNS • Time: clock and date widgets • Moments: countdown, days since and days together • Words: quote, note and sticky note widgets • Calendar: month, week and next event • Progress: year progress widgets • Track: habit tracker, to-do list, mood and tap counter • Sky: moon phases • Photos: photo frame, polaroid, collage and film strip • Lock Screen: widgets for the Lock Screen and StandBy Every widget comes in the sizes that fit your home screen.
