Turn your iPhone into a distinctive pixel flip clock for your desk, bedside, study, and focus sessions. What sets Tiqlo apart from ordinary clock apps is that its pixel style goes far beyond the font. From the Flip and Digital clock faces to every panel, button, outline, shadow, and transition, each detail follows one cohesive pixel visual language. Place your iPhone on a desk, bedside table, or workspace and enjoy bold digits in an immersive display built for clear, distraction-free reading. Free and Open Source Tiqlo is free and open source under the MIT License. It needs no account, and its focused clock experience is available without a paywall. Classic Flip Clock Enjoy the rhythm of changing time. Refined flip animation, subtle depth, and bold digits give every passing minute a satisfying sense of movement. Multiple Visual Styles Switch freely between the classic Flip clock and clean Digital displays. Choose from a range of color themes to match your space, mood, or lighting. Complete Pixel-Style Design Four purpose-built pixel fonts, grid-aligned spacing, staircase-cut corners, crisp outlines, and zero-blur hard shadows carry the pixel aesthetic through every component—not just the clock digits. The result has a distinctive retro character while keeping time clear at a distance. Immersive Full Screen Tiqlo keeps system distractions out of sight. Tap anywhere to reveal the controls; they automatically fade away so the screen can return to what matters most: the time. Made for Portrait and Landscape Whether you hold your phone or place it horizontally as a desk clock, Tiqlo automatically adapts its layout and type size for a clear, balanced view. Designed for the Night Night Mode lowers the visual intensity and hides nonessential information, making Tiqlo more comfortable to use at your bedside or in low-light spaces. Time, Your Way - Choose between 12-hour and 24-hour time - Show or hide leading zeros - Optionally display seconds - Show the date and weekday - Keep the screen awake - Save preferences locally on your device Tiqlo requires no account and has no social feed or complicated navigation. Less distraction. More focus. Let Tiqlo help you see the time—and stay present in it.
