A flip clock you actually want on your desk - and it counts your focus while you watch it. FlipAura turns your iPhone into a big, calm flip clock. Swipe the strip under it to change what it is: a clock, a Pomodoro timer, a countdown, a stopwatch. Start a session, put the phone down, and it keeps counting on your Lock Screen. A CLOCK WORTH LEAVING ON • Big flip cards and a soft aura glow, filling the whole screen • Five faces on one swipe: Clock, Focus, Break, Countdown, Stopwatch • Hide the controls and the status bar goes too - just a clock, sitting on your desk • Stand it up in one row or two big ones; turn it on its side and the digits grow to the full height of the screen • Under the clock, only what you want there: the date, a greeting, your session tally, the task at hand, a quote IT KEEPS GOING WHILE YOU WORK • Live Activity and Dynamic Island count down while you are in another app • Pause, resume or skip a stage straight from the Lock Screen • Home Screen widgets in medium and large, in the theme you already use • A Control Center button that starts a focus session in one tap RAIN, A CAFE, OR NOTHING AT ALL • 25 ambient layers: rain on the window, ocean, mountain stream, cafe murmur, night train, fireplace, brown noise, deep space and more • Blend several at once and save the mix you keep coming back to • A soft chime when a session ends, and a flip sound you choose • Sound keeps playing while you work in another app; turn it off and FlipAura steps aside 300+ LOOKS, OR MAKE YOUR OWN • 100 themes built in, from near-black night to soft pastel • 200+ more in the community library, made by people who use FlipAura: try one on, download it for offline, keep the ones you like • The Studio, ten tabs deep - layout, card, digits, depth, flip, sound, aura, backdrop, overlay, satellites • Fifteen digit fonts, six aura shapes, and your own photo on the card face or behind it • Publish a theme, keep it private, or hand one person a link WHERE THE HOURS ACTUALLY WENT • Total time, sessions, streak and best day, in four numbers • Fourteen days, a full year, and the hour of the day you focus best • Time split by task, so the week stops being a blur • A leaderboard if you want one - real sessions only, and only if you opt in NEWS, WITHOUT THE NOISE • A bell in the corner holds new themes, fresh features, focus tips and offers, in your language • Open it any time - no permission needed • Notifications stay off until you turn them on, and even then it's at most one a week FREE, AND PLUS Free gives you 6 themes (20 when you sign in), 3 digit fonts, 4 ambient layers, 5 tasks, 3 saved designs and a week of stats.
