About

Verba Clock

Features
Read full description

Verba Clock tells the time the way people say it. No hands, no digits - a quiet grid of letters where the right words light up: IT IS TWENTY FIVE PAST TWELVE. FINISHES 18 crafted surfaces, from Deep Black and Stainless Steel to Gold, Rust, Waves and Metamorphite - plus two e-ink faces, Paper and Ink, rendered the way a real ink panel would: one ink, dithered letters, no glow. LANGUAGES 32 languages — English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Icelandic, Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Serbian (Cyrillic and Latin), Macedonian, Greek, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Chinese, Arabic and Hebrew. Every face follows how that language actually says the time. EVERYWHERE YOU GLANCE • Home screen and lock screen widgets in every size • StandBy — a bedside word clock while charging • Apple Watch app with a Smart Stack widget • Dock mode: charging in landscape turns the phone into a dimmed night clock DETAILS THAT MATTER • Two presentations: a wall-mounted clock face or edge-to-edge full bleed • Word transitions: instant, fade, typewriter or blink • Corner dots or a minute row for the in-between minutes • Light play, brightness control, keep-awake, haptics PRIVATE BY DESIGN Verba Clock is fully offline. It makes no network requests, collects nothing, tracks nothing, and asks for no account. The only permission it uses is vibration for haptics.
