About

FlipMatic

Read full description

FlipMatic turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac into a flip clock, the kind that once clattered on airport departure boards and in old train stations. Every minute, the flaps turn over one by one. A CLOCK THAT FILLS THE SCREEN • Big, clear digits that fill any screen, upright or sideways • 12- or 24-hour time, optional seconds, and the date on its own strip • Burn-in protection: a slow drift, night dimming and idle dimming • Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing THE BOARD • Every few minutes the clock turns into a message board • Put your own words on it, or let it show built-in phrases • FlipMatic speaks 43 languages, on the menus and on the board itself REMINDERS AND A TIMER • Reminders flip onto the board at the time you choose, with a soft chime: every day, on weekdays, on the days you pick, or just once • When FlipMatic is in the background, reminders arrive as notifications, and can ring through Focus if you allow it • A countdown timer on the clock's own flaps, from 1 to 99 minutes THEMES • Eight built-in looks: Classic, Paper, Vintage, Amber, Green, Pink, Rose and Blue • More themes for free at flipmatic.app, from cherry blossoms to comic books to a Halloween graveyard, added to your library with a free account • Mark favorites and let FlipMatic rotate them for you WEATHER • Optional: the local temperature on the strip, from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) • Type a city, or let FlipMatic use your location, only while Weather is on MADE TO BE LEFT ON • No ads, and no account needed for the clock, the board, reminders or the timer • Pseudonymous usage statistics (a random ID, no name, email or location) help us improve FlipMatic.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlipMatic at none against Flip Clock's 1. Flip Clock's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price there is nothing between them.
