DateTimeAtIsland is a lightweight time widget that surfaces the two things you check most often - today's date and weekday - right in your Dynamic Island. [Today, always at a glance] No matter which app you're in or which screen you're on, today's date and weekday quietly live at the top of your iPhone. One less glance at the clock wake the screen. [Make it yours] - Swap the day, weekday order - Show the month number, in any format (14.5, 5.14, etc.) - Independent font sizes and colors for the day number and weekday - For the lock-screen note: alignment, text color, text size, background color, and intensity - Instant Korean, English language switch [Long-press the Dynamic Island] iOS limits this kind of overlay to 8 hours at a time. The green bar inside the expanded view shows how much time is left - tap it to rewind the timer and start a fresh 8 hours. [Device compatibility] - Dynamic Island display: iPhone 14 Pro or newer (including the 16 Pro lineup) - Lock-screen widget: any iPhone running iOS 16.1 or later [Privacy and advertising] No account required.
