Hands is an analog widget app. Design your own clock and weather widgets, then put them on your Home Screen. CLOCKS Choose the hand style, the numerals and where they sit, size, weight, colors, the second hand and more. Start from scratch, or start from a design in the Catalog. WEATHER Inspired by old-school barometers, weather widgets have two hands. The short, wide hand shows the weather right now. The long needle points to the worst weather coming in the next few hours. Show weather symbols or your own words for each condition, for where you are or any place you choose. Style them just like your clocks.
