Your screen. Your information. Always on. xGridUp turns your iPad or iPhone into a dedicated ambient display - a beautiful, always-on dashboard showing exactly the information you care about. Build your screen from a grid of live widgets: the time, weather, stocks, calendar events, countdowns, moon phase, air quality, and dozens more. 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.

Swipe to switch manually anytime. BUILT FOR ALWAYS-ON xGridUp keeps your screen awake so it works as a permanent ambient display. Set it on your desk, prop it on a stand, and let it run. 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.

Two cities. Two time zones. One clear screen. Luma Pro’s signature Dual Clock feature lets you see the time in your current location and your home city at the same time. Whether you are traveling abroad, working across time zones, or staying connected with family, both times remain clearly visible on one screen. 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 batteryβ€”no 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 clock’s position over time to help reduce screen retention. This protection works automatically and remains active at all times.
