Remember those gorgeous clocks at the airport? The ones with the mechanical digits that flip down with a satisfying clack? Yeah, we turned that into an app. You're welcome. Meet Tock — a split-flap clock for your iPhone and iPad that's so beautiful you'll check the time just to watch it move. The real deal. Every digit flips with physics-driven animation — gravity pull, overshoot, bounce, settle. We didn't just animate a number change. We simulated the whole mechanical dance. The colon pulses. The digits cascade on launch. World clocks that actually look good. Add cities from anywhere on Earth and watch their times tick in perfect split-flap sync. New York, Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Auckland — wherever your people are, Tock keeps you connected without looking like a spreadsheet. Weather, because why not. Each city shows current temperature and conditions with minimal weather icons. Powered by Open-Meteo — no API key, no account, no nonsense. It just works. Home screen widgets. Small widget shows the time. Medium widget shows the time with seconds, city name, and AM/PM. Both look like tiny split-flap boards on your home screen. Finally, a widget that sparks joy. Customize everything. Toggle seconds on or off. Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Add any city, remove any city. It's your clock — we just made it pretty. The highlights: Stunning split-flap animation with real physics Power-on cascade effect on launch 12-hour format with AM/PM Multiple world clocks with live weather Home screen widgets (small & medium) Add any city and timezone Fahrenheit or Celsius toggle Seconds display toggle Dark, premium aesthetic No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Privacy-first. Always. Tock runs entirely on your device. The only network requests are to Open-Meteo's free weather API — no accounts, no tracking, no analytics. We don't collect your data because we genuinely don't care what time zone you're stalking. Stop checking the time on a boring digital clock. Let Tock make it an experience.
