Neon

Turn your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a glowing desk clock. Neon combines detailed seven-segment modules, textured metal, glass, and floor reflections in a calm, customizable display. MAKE IT YOURS Choose violet, cyan, amber, or rose, or find your own color with the custom hue slider. Adjust light intensity, reflections, and optional connected joint lights. Try five digit transitions: Instant, Soft fade, Neon flicker, Cascade, and Tube warm-up. A CLOCK THAT FITS Use portrait or landscape, switch between 12- and 24-hour time, and show or hide seconds. Enter focus mode for an uncluttered clock and resize it with a pinch or the clock-size control. Keep the display awake while the app is active when you want an always-visible desk clock. WIDGETS FOR YOUR DAY Add small or medium widgets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Each widget has its own color and time format. The small widget includes a seconds trail around its edges. Widget refresh timing is managed by the system. OPTIONAL HDR HIGHLIGHTS Enable brighter highlights on compatible displays. Output depends on the display and its available brightness headroom; Neon does not change system brightness. PRIVATE AND SIMPLE No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. Neon works offline and saves preferences locally. No personal data is collected or tracked. Neon is a clock display, not an alarm app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neon at none against Focus Gallery's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
