Clock Widgets
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your Home Screen already tells the time. It could do it with style. Clock Widgets is a gallery of 34 clock faces: a flip board that snaps over on the minute, a green phosphor terminal, time spelled out in a grid of words, an odometer that rolls the digits, dots and dashes for anyone who reads Morse. Pick one, tap once, and your widget is wearing it. Eleven faces are free. The other 23 — nixie tubes, a Swiss railway dial, split-flap boards, crystals, matchsticks, a sci-fi HUD — open with Clock Widgets Pro, a paid subscription that also includes every face added later. Everything else is free and stays that way: all widget sizes, small through large and extra large on iPad; Stand By, the fullscreen bedside clock that holds the screen awake while the phone charges on its side; 12 or 24-hour time, date on or off, any city's time zone. QUIET BY DESIGN No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party code. The app makes no network requests at all — which is why every clock keeps perfect time in airplane mode. For the desk that deserves better than the default. For the nightstand at three in the morning. For anyone who has rearranged their Home Screen twice in one evening. Clock Widgets Pro renews monthly or yearly until you cancel; the price for your country appears in the app before anything is charged.

Your Home Screen, finally quiet. Clearwing is a collection of 21 widgets that look truly transparent: clocks, calendars, countdowns, a moon phase, a photo, floating on your wallpaper with nothing around them. And the part nobody else fixed: there is no app name under them. iOS prints the app's name beneath every widget, which ruins the clean look unless you switch to large icons. Clearwing's own name is invisible, so its widgets carry no label and you keep your small icons. 21 WIDGETS • Invisible spacer: pure wallpaper, for airy layouts • Clocks: digital, a minimal analog dial, a word clock that says half past nine, and a binary clock in glowing bits • Day & Time: the date and the clock in one glance • Date, Weekday written large, and a monthly Calendar with today circled • This Week strip and the week number • Countdown with a progress ring, and Days Since for streaks and anniversaries • Year Progress, Day Progress, and a Year Grid with one dot for every day • Moon: tonight's phase, computed on your device • Daily line: one calm sentence a day • Photo in a floating frame, arch, circle, or tilted polaroid • Monogram with your initials • Battery in a glowing ring FIFTEEN LOOKS FOR EVERY WIDGET Retro Pixel is the signature default, and every widget also comes in Minimal, Editorial serif, Bold, frosted Glass, Handwritten, Script calligraphy, Typewriter, Neon, Couture fashion serif, Engraved, Chalk, Marker, Retro geometric, and Poster. Browse the whole collection in the built-in gallery, rendered live on your own wallpaper, then pick looks and tones per widget. A frosted-glass backdrop option gives you the soft blurred-wallpaper card style too. SET UP IN A MINUTE iOS does not allow real see-through widgets, so Clearwing recreates your wallpaper behind each one, pixel for pixel. Take one screenshot of an empty Home Screen page, import it, and place your widgets. A built-in fine-tune editor nudges the alignment if your device sits a pixel off, and switching between small and large icon modes is one tap. WRITTEN ON YOUR IPHONE On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the Daily Line widget writes a fresh calm line every day, entirely on-device. Without it, a curated pack takes over seamlessly. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • Clearwing contains zero networking code, so nothing can leave your iPhone • No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking • Your wallpaper and photos stay in the app's private container • Delete the app and every trace is gone Free. No subscription. No catch. Your wallpaper deserves the whole screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clearwing at none against Clock Widgets's 2. Clearwing also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
