デスクメイト vs Big Digital Clock

Turn a spare iPhone or iPad on your desk into a calm, always-on companion. Deskmate lets you place a clock, calendar, weather, sticky notes, world clocks, a timer, a photo frame, and cute decorations anywhere you like. Prop it on your desk while charging and see the time, your schedule, and the weather at a glance. ■ A desk you arrange yourself Drag to place and resize any item, with satisfying grid snapping. ■ Portrait and landscape, remembered separately Rotate the device and it switches to a layout made for that orientation — each one saved independently. Landscape supported on both iPhone and iPad. ■ Scenic backgrounds A sunny window, a forest, the seaside, a night cafe, an antique desk, pixel art, and more — plus soft solid color themes. ■ Make it yours Plants, lamps, books, mugs, candles, a cat silhouette, and other little touches. ■ Gentle on always-on displays Slow, subtle motion helps prevent OLED burn-in. Free to use. The one-time "Deskmate Pro" unlocks every scene, decoration, and extra color theme — no ads, no subscriptions. Your layouts and colors carry over across devices on the same Apple ID via iCloud.

Electronic Clock is a minimal full-screen digital clock — and a way to give the old phone in your drawer a second life. Plug an old phone or tablet into power, open Electronic Clock, and it becomes a big clock for your desk, nightstand or wall, with the local weather on screen too. Instead of letting an old device gather dust or end up as e-waste, put it back to work — and skip buying another clock. Time and weather at a glance: large hours and minutes fill the center of the screen, with seconds and a weather emoji right beside them, and the date, weekday and local temperature along the top. No unlocking, no opening other apps — one look tells you the time, the temperature and whether you need an umbrella. Ideas for an old device: • An old iPhone as a bedside clock, a retired iPad as a living room or kitchen clock • A spare phone on your office desk, in the entryway or at a shop counter • Second-hand phones, backup phones and hand-me-downs all find a use Features: • 12-hour or 24-hour clock that updates every second — set automatically for your region • Date and weekday at the top, with the weekday in English, Chinese or Japanese • Seconds and a weather emoji next to the time • Optional: uses your location to show the local temperature (°C or °F) and conditions • Weather data from MET Norway's public API — free, no ads • Choose the font, text size, text colour and background colour, or pick a built-in style preset • Celsius or Fahrenheit, matched to your region by default • App available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese • Landscape full-screen layout on a black background by default; text scales to fit iPhone and iPad • Keeps the screen awake and hides the status bar for a clean display Optional Pro (one-time purchase, yours forever): • Custom colours for text and background • 5 extra fonts and 6 extra style presets • Flip clock animation Privacy: No account, no ads, no analytics, no developer servers. Location permission is optional; if granted, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km and sent only to MET Norway to look up the weather — never stored or tracked. See the privacy policy for details.
