Arrange them exactly how you want using one of hundreds of unique grid layouts. Rotate your device and the grid rotates with it. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 892 unique grid layouts on iPad, or 17 carefully selected layouts on iPhone. Every cell holds a live widget. Leave cells empty for breathing room. Flip layouts horizontally or vertically for even more combinations.

EACH SCREEN IS UNIQUE Every screen has its own background colour and cell spacing. Dark, light, or a custom hex colour - each screen can have a completely different look.

Select your preferred city and check both local and home time at a glance. Adjust the clock brightness with a simple swipe to create the perfect level of light for your room. Choose a bright, easy-to-read display or dim it for comfortable nighttime use. Use Luma Night Clock whether your iPhone is plugged in or running on batteryβno charging connection is required. Rotate your iPhone between portrait and landscape, and the clock automatically adjusts to fit the screen. Upgrade to Luma Pro with a one-time purchase to unlock Dual Clock and unlimited clock colors. Always-on OLED burn-in protection gently shifts the clockβs position over time to help reduce screen retention. This protection works automatically and remains active at all times.
