The Clocks app transforms your phone, tablet, or mac into a beautiful clock display, perfect for any home office, bedroom, or studio. It's perfect as an alternative to Standby Mode with even more options: ◎ 28+ gorgeous and intentionally designed animated backgrounds ◎ 15+ variations of clocks you can pair in any combination ◎ Some font and font color options for more personalization ◎ Private, no ads. Designed to be simple and stunning. ◎ Pro Park includes a download for matching screen savers on MacOS so your display can match across your entire work setup. ◎ Three clocks and three backgrounds are usable for free! ◎ Best used on a MagSafe charger, but also works on phones without it. ◎ Shortcuts support to allow Clocks to open automatically when connected to a charger Does Clocks open automatically? Not by default, but within Settings there's a tutorial on how to set it up using Shortcuts. Does Clocks replace Standby mode? We think Clocks is better fitted for daytime use and the official Standby for night time. Will you release more packs in the future? Yes! I plan on designing more backgrounds and clocks in future updates, some which will be free some which will be paid (but affordable). Roadmap - Coming soon: - Timers - More font options and settings

CC Lab turns your iPhone or iPad into a mobile modding studio for creating custom content for The Sims 4. Create and customize mods directly in 3D. Choose clothing or objects, change colors, add prints, customize materials, build complete looks, and preview every change before exporting your creation to the game. Everything is processed directly on your device — no uploads, no desktop tools, and no extra converters. CREATE YOUR OWN MODS Start with a model and make it your own. Recolor clothing and objects, create new variations, add images from Photos, and place prints directly on the 3D model. Move, scale, and rotate your design while seeing the result in real time. BUILD COMPLETE LOOKS IN 3D Create full outfits with tops, bottoms, shoes, hair, and accessories. Rotate the character, try different combinations, customize colors and prints, and see how everything looks together before exporting. CUSTOMIZE OBJECTS Modding is not limited to clothing. Customize furniture, decorations, and other objects by editing individual materials and surfaces. A CATALOGUE BUILT FOR CREATING Browse a collection of clothing and objects with real previews and available variations. Find something you like and use it as the starting point for your next creation. Filter by category, save favorites, and quickly open items in the studio. EXPORT TO THE GAME When your design is ready, export your custom content and add it to the game. Create a single item or build an entire look — CC Lab takes you from an idea to a finished mod in one workflow. BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT Already have custom content you want to edit? Import your own .package files from Files, open them in the studio, customize them, and export a new version. SAVE YOUR CREATIONS Keep your designs in Creations, reopen them later, and continue working whenever you want. Choose. Customize. Preview in 3D. Export. Play.
