Slow Ink Clock vs VIAlerts

Slow Ink Clock turns time into a flowing Chinese ink-wash painting. It does more than show the hour and minute. It brings traditional time periods, the lunar calendar, the 24 solar terms, day and night, moon phases, and live weather into a quiet, atmospheric iOS clock experience. By day, the ink opens like morning light. At night, the screen settles into moonlight and deep ink. When the weather changes, sunlight, clouds, mist, rain, thunderstorms, and wind move through the scene in an ink-wash style. Slow Ink Clock uses Apple Weather data so weather becomes part of the artwork, not just a line of text. Place iPhone horizontally in StandBy and it becomes an ink-wash clock for your bedside or desk. Add it to your Home Screen as a Widget, and time and weather can stay with you in a calmer, more poetic way.
