Right now, the Sydney Opera House is greeting the morning. Right now, the Eiffel Tower in Paris is basking in noon light. Right now, the Statue of Liberty is drifting into dusk. Yonder Clock isn't a world clock. It's a window — showing you the world behind the time zones. Open the app, and you'll see a landmark somewhere on Earth in its real time of day: an Apple Maps 3D aerial view, slowly rotating. Every 15 minutes, the scene changes to another place experiencing morning, noon, or dusk. You don't have to do anything. Just watch. The world flows on its own. --- 500+ landmarks worldwide --- Across 35 cities — from the Sydney Opera House to the Sagrada Família, from the Golden Gate Bridge to Mount Fuji. Each landmark has a hand-tuned 3D aerial camera angle, crafted for that one perfect view. --- See it, collect it --- Every new landmark you see is automatically added to your collection. No effort required — just keep watching, and your world map fills in over time. Switch to the globe view to see how many cities you've "visited." --- Home screen widget --- Put the world on your home screen. The widget cycles through landmarks every 15 minutes, even if you don't open the app for a week. Morning somewhere, dusk somewhere else — a glance is all it takes. --- PRO --- • Unlimited shuffle — change landmarks whenever you want • Widget syncs with the app in real time • Freely browse all uncollected landmarks • Full access to 600+ landmarks in 3D Before you put your phone down, take one look. Somewhere in the world, the sun is just coming up.

Put somewhere else's "right now" on your Home Screen. A widget clock that shows scenery from real towns, coasts, grasslands and alpine regions — matched to the hour on your phone. The picture doesn't just change. Time and place move together. From the patchwork hills at dawn, to a birch-lined road at noon, to golden wheat at sunset, to a hill full of stars. Over a day, you wander through one region slowly. FOURTEEN REGIONS, FOURTEEN DAYS JAPAN - Biei, Hokkaido — free Rolling hills and a lone tree, where northern light drifts across the day. - Higashiyama, Kyoto From the pagoda slope to willow-lined water and lantern alleys. - Shirakawa-go Steep thatched roofs along a valley, from morning fog to light on snow. EUROPE - Colmar, France — half-timbered houses and a canal - The Cotswolds, England — honey-coloured stone, where even rain belongs - Val d'Orcia, Italy — rolling hills ruled by cypress lines - Santorini, Greece — white walls and blue domes - Amalfi Coast, Italy — a town stacked on cliffs above a blue sea - Zermatt, Switzerland — the peak that catches the first light - South Coast, Iceland — black sand, a glacier lagoon, green light after dark ASIA - Hoi An, Vietnam — after dark, the whole river fills with lanterns - Ha Long Bay, Vietnam — limestone islands surfacing from mist - Ubud, Bali — rice terraces climbing the slope AFRICA - Marrakech, Morocco — a red-earth city, and past the walls, stars over sand SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR Each region has its own resident. A rabbit in Biei, a cat in Kyoto, a marmot in Zermatt. They move to a different spot every hour — see if you can find them. WIDGETS - Small, Medium and Large (Large unlocks with any purchase) - Show or hide the date and the region name; 12- or 24-hour time - Or turn the clock overlay off and keep only the artwork IN THE APP - Timeline — all 24 hours at a glance; tap any hour to see it large - Favorites — keep the views you love - Gallery — compare a whole day from each region ABOUT THIS APP - No network. It works exactly the same in airplane mode or with no signal. - No permissions at all — no location, photos, camera or notifications. - No account needed. - No ads. No analytics SDK. - One-time purchases only. There is no subscription. Buy regions one at a time, take a regional pack, or unlock everything at once. Either way you pay once and are never billed again. Note: the scenery is an artistic interpretation inspired by real places. These are paintings, not photographs — made to keep the feeling of each place rather than to reproduce it exactly.
