Sun TimeZone
Read full descriptionHide full description
Timezone turns world clocks into something beautiful. Instead of a list of numbers, watch the sunβs path across a 24-hour cycle as a smooth sine wave, with your selected cities plotted directly on the curve. A dynamic sky gradient shifts from starlit night to golden sunrise to bright day, making it instantly clear whoβs awake, whoβs asleep, and where the sun is. INTERACTIVE TIME DIAL Drag the scrubbing dial to glide through any hour of the day. Subtle haptic ticks mark each hour, while every timezone updates in real time. Perfect for finding that sweet spot where Tokyo, London, and San Francisco overlap. SUN PATH VISUALIZATION A scientifically inspired sine wave maps the sunβs arc over 24 hours. Each city appears as a color-coded marker, so you can immediately see which locations are in daylight and which are in darkness. DYNAMIC SKY & STARS The background is a living sky that transitions from deep midnight blues to warm sunrise tones to bright daytime hues. Softly twinkling stars animate across night regions, adding depth and atmosphere. SMART CITY SEARCH Add timezones by simply searching city names like βNew Delhi,β βSan Francisco,β or βTokyoββno need for IANA identifiers. With 50+ built-in aliases, you can also browse by region or GMT offset. DESIGNED FOR APPLE Crafted with Liquid Glass materials, fluid animations, and a dark-mode-first aesthetic. The layout adapts seamlessly: a compact stacked view on iPhone and a spacious side-by-side layout on iPad. KEY FEATURES - Sun-path sine wave with color-coded timezone markers - Interactive horizontal dial with haptic feedback - Animated day-to-night sky gradient - Twinkling star field in night zones - 8 vibrant accent colors for cities - Searchable picker with 50+ city aliases - Persistent state across launches - Responsive layouts for iPhone and iPad - No ads, no accounts, no tracking Whether you're coordinating across time zones, planning a call with family abroad, or simply curious where the sun is right nowβTimezone makes it intuitive, visual, and immediate.

yourclock turns any spare screen into a clock worth looking at. Forty-three clock faces, each one a different idea about what a clock can be. A railway platform clock. A flip clock that never rattles. A terminal readout. A Mondrian. Every minute of the day as a single dot, filling up as the day goes on. Pick the one that suits the room, set the phone or iPad down, and let it run. TWENTY-FOUR FACES, FREE Classic and Roman analog, a minimal digital, a flip clock, a word clock that spells the time out, a terminal, a neon dial, an orbit, a horizon that tracks the light, constellations, an hourglass, a pendulum, lava, an aquarium, a screen that floods with colour as the minute passes, and more. No account, no ads β they're simply yours. NINETEEN PREMIUM FACES Railway, Aviator, Retro LCD, Halo, Wheels, Mondrian, Plain, Line, Tide, Hour, Week, Radar, Gauges, Metro, Vinyl, Cassette, Pulse, Mosaic and Iris. Each is a one-time purchase, bought individually, and yours forever on every device signed in to your Apple ID. Nothing is a subscription. SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY Tap any locked face to preview it: it runs full screen, at full size, on your own screen, for as long as you care to look. No card, no sign-up, no clock running down. Previews carry a PREVIEW watermark until you buy the face. If it isn't for you, close it and try another. BUILT TO SIT THERE Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing, so it stays readable on a desk, a nightstand, or a kitchen counter. 12- or 24-hour time. Seconds on or off. Light, dark, or follow the system. Runs full screen on both iPhone and iPad. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your chosen face and your purchases are stored on your device, and there is no server on our end to send anything to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sun TimeZone at none against yourclock's 10. yourclock's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
