The trader's clock that tells you the moment a candle closes โ€” even when you're not watching the chart. Entries and exits happen at the candle close. But exchange apps won't even show you a seconds clock, let alone a candle countdown. CandleEdge makes sure you're there for the moment that matters. โ—† Dynamic Island clock ยท Lock Screen close reference Keep time without leaving your chart. Dynamic Island shows a live clock in your chosen time zone; the Lock Screen pairs an HH:mm:ss clock with a clear 4H/1D close reference. Choose Seoul, UTC, Tokyo, Singapore, London, New York, or your device zone. Pro can switch the Island format between HH:mm:ss and mm:ss. โ—† Alerts you can't miss Choose one moment per timeframe: the close itself or 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 seconds before it. When timeframes coincide, the larger one takes priority. In Scalping mode, 1m and 5m alerts work only while the app is open. โ—† Know the timeframe by sound alone Assign a different sound to each timeframe (Tick, Bell, Pulse, Wood) and you'll know which candle just closed without looking at your screen. โ—† Time Stop for disciplined entries Start a maximum-hold timer the moment you enter: choose a 30-second, 1/2/3/5/10-minute preset or set any duration from 10 seconds to 4 hours. See the remaining time and deadline at a glance, and get alerted when it is time to exit. โ—† Aligned with crypto standards Seven timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D. Every candle boundary is UTC-based โ€” 4H candles close at 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, and 20:00 UTC, and the daily closes at 00:00 UTC (8:00 PM ET) โ€” exactly matching major exchanges. Change your device time zone and your alert times stay put. โ—† Make it yours Choose a timer color, brand accent, dark background, and Minimal, Flip Clock, Glass, Orbit, or Candle Stack skin. The safety colors stay fixed: yellow at 30 seconds to close and amber at 10. โ—† 100% on-device No server. No account. No tracking. CandleEdge collects zero data. It's a pure time tool โ€” it doesn't handle price or chart data and doesn't provide investment advice. โ—† Start free Use one timeframe with no limits, free forever. Unlock everything โ€” all timeframes running at once, colors and skins, custom sounds โ€” with a low monthly subscription or a one-time purchase that's yours for life. Your call. The honest fine print: due to iOS policy, if your Ring/Silent switch is set to silent you'll get a vibration instead of a sound, and the Live Activity needs a one-tap restart in the app every 8 hours. Notifications keep working the whole time. Never miss a candle close again.
