Stay Clock turns your iPhone or iPad into an always-on desk clock you can read from across the room. Pick from 101 faces, flip clocks included (100 with the optional Lifetime unlock), and switch to a dim red face on true black at night.

Gentle pixel shifting, details that soften when idle, and a dim red night face on true black for the bedroom. One face everywhere. The face you pick appears on the full screen clock, StandBy, Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch, and looks the same on every one. A calendar that suits each face.
