Mic's Clock vs AccurateClock

Give your old device a second life with this basic clock. Stop letting your old iPhones and iPads gather dust in a drawer. This clock is designed with one purpose: to turn your retired hardware into a clean, minimalist, and functional timepiece for your desk or night stand. KEY FEATURES DAY AND NIGHT MODES: A simple tap on the screen toggles between high-visibility and low-light modes. BURN-IN PROTECTION: The clock face subtly shifts position over time to protect your display. This is essential for older screens left on 24/7. NO CLUTTER: No alarms, no weather, no stopwatches, no preferences to mess up. Just the time. PRIVACY FIRST: No ads, no tracking, and no in-app purchases. It does not even need an internet connection. IMPORTANT NOTE Time and timezone settings are pulled directly from your iOS device settings. To change the time displayed, you much adjust your system preferences and the clock will automatically pick up your changes.

Accurate Clock is a focused little app for setting other clocks precisely. Why does this exist? iOS's stock Clock app deliberately doesn't show seconds, which makes it useless for the one task you really need a clock for: setting another clock right on the minute. Mechanical watches that "hack" — meaning the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown — are particularly painful to set without a visible second hand to wait on. Accurate Clock fills that gap. WHAT YOU GET • A clean analogue face with a clearly visible second hand. Toggle between smooth sweep and one-second tick. • A digital readout showing HH:MM:SS plus a smaller two-digit hundredths counter, so you can see exactly when the minute starts. • Time synchronised against Apple's public NTP server (time.apple.com) once per launch. The footer shows when it last synced and the round-trip uncertainty so you know how much to trust the displayed time. • A world time picker covering 48 cities across 31 zones — the same set as Casio's classic AE-1200 — with sectioned UTC offsets and live DST awareness. • System-aware light and dark modes. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No data collected. WHEN YOU WOULD USE IT • Setting a mechanical or quartz watch precisely on the minute. • Setting a quartz watch or wall clock and being annoyed that you can't see the seconds. • Checking the time in another zone to help set a clock for a trip. • Just enjoying watching a second hand sweep. WHAT IT IS NOT This isn't a stopwatch, an alarm, a world-clock complication, or anything else. There are no settings beyond sweep/tick and timezone. It is deliberately small.
