About

Clock Tower

Features
Read full description

Clock Tower is a decorative clock and Home Screen / Lock Screen / Desktop widget with a ring-and-dial mechanic inspired by fantasy-adventure game interfaces. - An outer ring ticks forward every 5 minutes. - An inner dial advances every hour, in sync with the ring. - A sun-and-moon medallion flips between day and night as the clock crosses 6 AM and 6 PM. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and no network access of any kind - everything runs entirely on your device. Add Clock Tower as a widget to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Mac desktop to keep an eye on the time while it quietly ticks along in the background.

About

Simple Night Light

Features
Read full description

A softer light for the middle of the night. When your iPhone flashlight is more than you need, Night Light turns your screen into a calm, gentle light. Open the app and your saved color and brightness are ready. No account, setup, or clutter. MAKE IT YOURS Choose warm amber, warm white, deep red, candle, green, or moonlight. Pick any custom color and adjust the screen brightness from 1% to 50%. Night Light remembers your favorite settings for next time. READY FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Add the circular widget to your Lock Screen or Home Screen to launch your saved light quickly with one tap. Normal iPhone authentication may still be required. OPTIONAL REAR LIGHT Need a little more? One tap turns on the rear flashlight at a deliberately low level. It never turns on automatically, and it switches off when Night Light leaves the foreground. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Night Light opens directly into your favorite preset, uses a dark launch screen, and keeps controls minimal and easy to find. FREE AND PRIVATE Night Light is completely free, with no ads, accounts, subscriptions, analytics, or tracking. Your settings remain on your device. Optional tips unlock nothingβ€”the full app is available to everyone.
