toki vs Polaris

Time, reimagined. toki is a physics-powered clock app that turns telling time into a visual experience. Colorful objects spawn every second, interact with clock hands, and respond to gravity — all in real time. Three modes in one app: ・Clock — your daily timepiece with a playful twist ・Timer — set a countdown and watch objects fill the dial ・Stopwatch — track elapsed time with a living display Tap the screen to send objects flying. Swipe to switch between multiple color themes. Every interaction feels alive with haptic feedback and fluid animations. No ads. No accounts. Everything runs on your device.

Polaris turns the night sky as it actually looks from where you are into a living Home Screen widget — a quiet planetarium clock. ■ A real sky It plots ~9,000 stars from the Yale Bright Star Catalog, computed from your chosen city's latitude, longitude and sidereal time, so what's rising and where is faithful to the real sky right now. Star brightness and color (blue-white to orange) are true to life. No location permission needed — just pick a city. ■ Clock & calendar Layer an analog clock (10 frames × 5 hands × date fonts) or a digital clock (8 typefaces) over the stars. A monthly calendar and a corner date/weekday are available too. ■ More of the sky • Shooting stars streak by now and then • Star names label the bright ones — Sirius, Vega, and more • Constellation lines connect figures like Orion and the Big Dipper ■ Widgets Small, medium, large and extra-large are all supported. Each size saves its own design, so you can compose your Home Screen exactly how you like. There's also a clock-free "sky only" widget. ■ Details • Pure black background — quiet and striking on OLED • Switch between English and Japanese inside the app • 39 cities worldwide, plus automatic detection A bedside clock. The centerpiece of your Home Screen. The night sky, always in your hand.
