Minimal Clock

Read full description

Minimal Clock puts a real retro digital clock on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. It is the authentic 7-segment LCD look, not a plain font dressed up to resemble one. THE LOOK The time is drawn in a true DSEG7 7-segment typeface with a "ghost segments" effect: the unlit segments sit faintly behind the lit digits, exactly like a physical digital clock. FIVE WIDGETS โ€ข Clock + Date โ€” time, weekday, and date โ€ข Clock Only โ€” a large, legible clock โ€ข Date & Day โ€” the full weekday and date โ€ข World Clock โ€” your local time plus one or two cities (Pro) โ€ข World Cities โ€” up to three cities, no local clock (Pro) WORLD CLOCK Keep other time zones on your Home Screen. The city picker searches every time zone, shows each city's UTC offset, and marks a day difference (+1 / โˆ’1) for cities already on tomorrow or still on yesterday. FIVE THEMES, TWO FONTS Pick a theme for each widget: Dark, Light, Clear (transparent), Green (retro VFD), or Red (retro LED). Choose the LCD (Retro) 7-segment font or a monospace Terminal font. Every placed widget can look different. COLORS, LABEL, AND NIGHT MODE (PRO) Five display colors sit on top of any theme: amber, ice blue, cyan, violet, and rose. Add a short label of your own under the clock. Switch on night mode and the StandBy clock dims to a soft red, so it won't light up a dark room. WHEREVER YOU NEED THE TIME Small and Medium on the Home Screen, rectangular, circular, and inline Lock Screen widgets, and StandBy support so it works as a bedside desk clock. The world clocks come in Small, Medium and rectangular. The clock follows your device's 12/24-hour and first-day-of-week settings, and the date and weekday follow your locale. City names are shown in English. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Minimal Clock Pro is one purchase, not a subscription. The three core clock widgets, all five themes, both fonts, Lock Screen, and StandBy stay free. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no network, no tracking, no data collection. Nothing leaves your device.

About

yourclock turns any spare screen into a clock worth looking at. Forty-three clock faces, each one a different idea about what a clock can be. A railway platform clock. A flip clock that never rattles. A terminal readout. A Mondrian. Every minute of the day as a single dot, filling up as the day goes on. Pick the one that suits the room, set the phone or iPad down, and let it run. TWENTY-FOUR FACES, FREE Classic and Roman analog, a minimal digital, a flip clock, a word clock that spells the time out, a terminal, a neon dial, an orbit, a horizon that tracks the light, constellations, an hourglass, a pendulum, lava, an aquarium, a screen that floods with colour as the minute passes, and more. No account, no ads โ€” they're simply yours. NINETEEN PREMIUM FACES Railway, Aviator, Retro LCD, Halo, Wheels, Mondrian, Plain, Line, Tide, Hour, Week, Radar, Gauges, Metro, Vinyl, Cassette, Pulse, Mosaic and Iris. Each is a one-time purchase, bought individually, and yours forever on every device signed in to your Apple ID. Nothing is a subscription. SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY Tap any locked face to preview it: it runs full screen, at full size, on your own screen, for as long as you care to look. No card, no sign-up, no clock running down. Previews carry a PREVIEW watermark until you buy the face. If it isn't for you, close it and try another. BUILT TO SIT THERE Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing, so it stays readable on a desk, a nightstand, or a kitchen counter. 12- or 24-hour time. Seconds on or off. Light, dark, or follow the system. Runs full screen on both iPhone and iPad. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your chosen face and your purchases are stored on your device, and there is no server on our end to send anything to.
