From your own phone, your Apple Watch, or your PeekSmith, you secretly control the clock on your spectator's phone. They're holding what looks like an ordinary clock: stopwatch, timers, alarms, world clock. Every one of them is yours. ALTER TIME ITSELF A spectator starts a stopwatch on their own phone, in their own hands, and stops it whenever they like. It stops on your number. No sleights, no switches! The phone does the magic for you. BORROW ANY IPHONE, NO INSTALL Nothing to download, no account, no setup on their end. A tap, a QR code, or a link puts your clock on their phone in seconds, and it disappears on its own afterward. Borrowed-phone magic that actually feels organic. FORCE ANY TIME OR NUMBER Five force modes built for real routines: • Manual: land on the exact value you choose • Addition Total: the digits sum to your prediction • Full Time: force a complete minutes-seconds-hundredths reading • Multiple of 9: self-working number math • Lap Times: force the totals across multiple laps And not just the stopwatch: force which city appears in their world clock, the time an alarm is set for, and where a timer lands. REVEAL IT IN THEIR HANDS Turn a quiet force into a visible moment of impossibility. On your secret cue, or when the spectator shakes their phone, waves a hand over it, or touches the screen, the clock they're holding visibly animates to your forced value. Add a delay to time your line, plus a synced 3-2-1 countdown you feel buzz in your hand as it lands, so you can choreograph your magic wave to reveal the time, location, and more. Afterward, everything stays examinable. PEEK EVERYTHING THEY DO, LIVE Your phone quietly mirrors the spectator's screen in real time: every start, stop, lap, alarm, timer, and city they pick. Perfect ammunition for predictions, revelations, and readings, before they even know a trick has started. CONTROL IT ALL FROM YOUR WRIST Run the entire effect from your Apple Watch: arm forces, fire reveals, and peek live values with your phone still in your pocket — or let the watch run the show entirely on its own. MORE THAN A STOPWATCH • Practice Mode — rehearse the full routine offline, anywhere • Rock-solid connectivity: direct device-to-device link with automatic cloud fallback • PeekSmith display support for stage-ready peeks • Your settings and force lists follow you to any device ClockWork is built for working performers. The clock in their hands is yours. This app is for entertainment purposes only.
Dog Watch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dog Watch is a comedy app — a pretend dog translator, just for laughs. It cannot really translate barks (no app can!). Instead, it reacts to the sound of your pup and imagines what they MIGHT be saying, with over fifty handcrafted phrases across seven moods. Tap. Listen. Laugh. Repeat until your dog gets suspicious. HOW THE JOKE WORKS • Tap Listen and your Apple Watch measures the loudness of the moment • The app picks a mood — Hungry, Walkies, Play Time, On Guard, Loving, Curious, or Sleepy — and serves up a perfectly plausible phrase, from "I require sniffing immediately" to "Treats now, questions later" • An animated waveform, color-coded mood cards, and a satisfying haptic make the bit land every time BUILT FOR WATCHOS • One-tap pretend listening, right from your wrist • Phrasebook to browse every phrase by mood • History of your last 30 "translations" • No accounts, no ads, no internet — nothing is recorded or stored PERFECT FOR • Dog owners who suspect their dog has Opinions • Anyone who has ever asked their pet "what is it, buddy?" • Group chat content, dog parks, vet waiting rooms • A laugh when your dog is barking at, again, absolutely nothing THE FINE PRINT (A.K.A. THE TRUTH) Dog Watch is entertainment, not science. It does not understand, analyze, or translate dog vocalizations — it is a game of pretend, and it says so right inside the app. But honestly, your dog has been asking for that treat the whole time. We're just delivering the message. Made with love (and a lot of treats) for the dogs in your life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dog Watch at none against ClockWork Magic & Mindreading's 1. Dog Watch also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
