BitTime is a binary clock app for your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. It shows the time in a variety of formats, and features widgets and watch complications. Formats: * Binary-Coded Decimal - Classic dot-matrix binary clock, customizable to your liking * Numerical binary - hour:minute:second view * Unix Timestamp - For those who like numbers and dislike being able to read the time * ISO 8601 - This is getting ridiculous Customize your view: * Symbol styles: circles, rectangles, squares, or plain 1s and 0s * Regular macOS, or colored themes with retro glow effects * 12-hour or 24-hour display * Seconds or minute views * Local time or UTC * Color themes including custom colors Widgets are available on your iOS and iPadOS devices; watch complications are available in all shapes and sizes on your Apple Watch. The app also integrates with Spotlight on iOS and iPadOS, allowing you to quickly see the current time in binary formats. BitTime respects your privacy, and has no network access or telemetry. (Except App Store analytics that Apple collects)
