About

PivotClock

Read full description

PivotClock is a clock app that lets you freely rotate the display to any angle - and lock it there. Unlike your phone's auto-rotation, PivotClock works independently. Set it to 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees, or any custom angle. Once locked, the clock stays exactly where you need it. FEATURES - Free Rotation Rotate the clock to any angle using the intuitive dial editor. Drag to rotate, release to snap - just like editing a photo. - Quick Presets One tap to snap to 0 / 90 / 180 / 270 degrees. Perfect for landscape bedside or upside-down mounting. - Digital and Analog Switch between a clean digital display and a classic analog face. Seconds, date, and 12/24-hour format all configurable. - 4 Themes Minimal, Bold, Retro (green glow), and Soft - each with 5 accent color options. - OLED-Optimized Pure black background saves battery on OLED screens. Burn-in protection slowly drifts the display so no pixel stays static. - Ultra Dim Mode Swipe up/down to darken the screen beyond the system minimum - ideal for bedrooms at night. - HUD Mirror Mode Horizontal flip for windshield projection or reverse-mounted displays. - Screen Always On The screen stays on as long as PivotClock is open. PERFECT FOR - Bedside clock - lay your phone flat or prop it at any angle - Desk clock - portrait, landscape, or anything between - Car mount - rotate to match your dashboard angle - Overhead mount - 180 degree flip when phone is upside down - HUD mode - mirror the display onto your windshield
