AllyClock
Read full descriptionHide full description
AllyClock turns your iPhone or iPad into the clock it deserves to be: a big, beautiful, fullscreen time display that looks great on a desk, a nightstand, or a shelf. Two faces, both live and adjustable: FULLSCREEN The time in large, thin digits with seconds ticking quietly beside them. Weekday, date, and time zone sit underneath on a clean baseline. Toggle seconds, weekday, zone, GMT offset, and the flag to make it yours. WORLD CARDS The cities you care about, each on its own card: flag, local time, date, and GMT offset. Add up to twelve cities, break them into rows, and scale the time and date independently. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR Controls fade away after a moment, leaving only the time. Tap anywhere to bring them back. Every change applies live: close a panel any way you like and your changes stick. MADE FOR LANDSCAPE AllyClock is built for iPhone and iPad in landscape, with a companion web version at allyclock.netlify.app.
Lumitron

Lumitron turns any screen into a full-screen retro clock - and nothing else. No status bar. No navigation buttons. No browser address bar, no home indicator, no window frame, no menu. Open Lumitron and the only thing left on your screen is the time. EIGHT REAL DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES Every theme recreates the physics of an actual historic display, not just a different font color: - LCD - familiar liquid-crystal segments, including the classic grey-green look - LED - vintage red glow, plus white, green, amber and blue variants - CRT - cathode-ray tube look with soft glow and scanlines - VFD - vacuum fluorescent display with its signature blue-green light - Nixie - neon glow-discharge tubes in warm orange-red - Panaplex - flat neon seven-segment displays - Numitron - incandescent filament digits, steady warm light, no flicker - Electroluminescent (EL) - glowing teal EL panel AUTHENTIC PHYSICAL EFFECTS Glow, bloom, ghost segments, fine scan lines and vignette, segment grids, gentle flicker - each effect recreated for the technology it belongs to, and each one can be switched on or off. MAKE IT YOURS - Color variants within every display technology - 12-hour or 24-hour format - Show or hide seconds - Adjustable digit size, from compact to full screen - Thin, regular or bold weight - Authentic seven-segment DSEG7 font TIME, YOUR WAY - System time - accurate, always in sync - Custom time - set any hour, minute and second - Frozen time - lock the display at a chosen moment, perfect for photos or a shop window display ALWAYS ON While Lumitron is open, the screen stays awake - no dimming, no sleep. Leave it running as a bedside clock, a desk display, or a second-screen companion. LEARN AS YOU LOOK Each display technology comes with a short explanation of how it works and why it looks the way it does. ONE TAP, NOTHING ELSE Settings open with a single tap anywhere on screen, and close the same way. In normal view there isn't a single button visible - just the clock. Lumitron is exactly what it looks like: a clock. There's no alarm, no timer and no date - just an honest, true full-screen digital clock built around eight real display technologies.
