About

EVA Clock Nixie

Features
Read full description

A nixie tube clock for your iPhone or iPad. The glowing orange digits are not photographs. Every bend of every numeral, and every wire stacked behind it, is drawn from scratch. Each digit is built as a single bent wire, and three layers - bloom, midtone, and glowing core - stack up to make that particular orange light. The digits that are not lit are still there, as a faint stack of ten numeral-shaped cathodes behind the glowing one. As the time changes, lit and unlit tubes quietly trade places. Turn the device sideways and the tubes fill the screen. It is meant to sit on your nightstand or desk as the clock itself. WHAT IT DOES - Home Screen widgets showing hours and minutes, in a small square or a wide rectangle - they work in StandBy too - Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display - Hourly chime, with a three-second countdown tone and adjustable volume (it respects the silent switch) - Keep the screen awake while the clock is showing - Dim the display for night use - Protect OLED displays by shifting the clock a few points every few minutes ABOUT THE WIDGET It sits on your Home Screen or in StandBy. It shows hours and minutes; seconds do not move. iOS decides when widgets refresh, so the displayed time may lag slightly behind. Lock Screen widgets are not supported - the Lock Screen renders widgets without color, and nixie tubes do not survive that. USING IT Tap the screen to open the settings. There are no other buttons - you get the clock and nothing else. PRIVACY This app collects nothing. No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising. It performs no network communication at all. Your settings are stored only on your device. REQUIREMENTS iOS 17.0 or later / iPadOS 17.0 or later Also available for Mac under the same name.

Know the time without looking at your phone. Voclock says the hour out loud, on the hour. Press "What time is it?" and it tells you the time right now. Made for when your hands are busy, your eyes are tired, or the screen is just too small to bother with. ā–  Easy to see, easy to hear Large text, large buttons, and very few of them. Turn your phone's font size all the way up and the screen still works. Every button is labelled for VoiceOver, so it can be used by ear. ā–  Four settings, and that is the whole app When it starts, when it stops, which days, and which voice. Nothing to download, nothing to set up, and it sounds the same on every phone. ā–  What it does • Speaks the hour, every hour • "What time is it?" — press it and hear the time right now • Start and end times — silence while you sleep • Choose the days — weekdays, weekends, or any days you like • Three volume levels • Voices in Korean, English (US, UK, Australia, India), Japanese, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Spanish and French ā–  No ads, nothing collected No ads, no purchases, no sign-in, no account. The only permission it asks for is the one that lets a notification make a sound. It works in airplane mode and sends nothing anywhere. Privacy policy: https://bonstandard.xyz/privacy_policy ā–  One thing to know When your phone is in silent mode, iOS mutes every notification sound, including this one. Turn silent off to hear the hour. The "What time is it?" button works either way.
