Atelier Watch

Features
Read full description

Atelier Watch puts a mechanical watch dial on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy. Every dial is drawn in code: the bezel, the sunburst, the sculpted hands. It stays sharp at any size instead of being a photograph of a watch. And for a second time zone there is a proper GMT hand — or two dials side by side, a city named under each. FOUR COLLECTIONS A collection is a different shape of watch, not a different color. • Dress — hobnail bezel, applied batons doubled at twelve, dauphine hands (free) • Diver — rotating 60-minute bezel, luminous pip at zero, sword hands (Pro) • Pilot — thin bezel, large numerals, triangle and two dots at twelve (Pro) • GMT — fixed 24-hour day-night bezel and a fourth hand for a second zone (Pro) NINE FINISHES Rose Gold Ā· Ivory, Steel Ā· Slate, Yellow Gold Ā· Champagne, Platinum Ā· Midnight, Noir Ā· Onyx, Steel Ā· Black, Steel Ā· Navy, Steel Ā· Forest, Gilt Ā· Black. Every finish works with every collection, and each widget you place can carry its own. THREE WIDGETS • Atelier Watch — the dial, with a calendar panel at the medium size • Dial Only — the dial alone, as large as the widget allows • Dual Time — two dials, two cities, each on its own time (Pro) WHEREVER YOU NEED THE TIME Small, Medium and Large on the Home Screen, three Lock Screen shapes, and StandBy for a bedside watch. COMPLICATIONS (PRO) A moon phase at six, calculated from the date alone — no location, no network. A short engraving below twelve, where a maker signs. Four lume colors. And a night mode that turns the StandBy dial dim red, so a bedside watch doesn't light up the room. A SECOND TIME ZONE, TWO WAYS (PRO) The GMT collection does it the way a travel watch does: a fourth hand read against a 24-hour day-night bezel. The Dual Time widget does it with two dials side by side, a city named under each, every dial running on its own zone. Any of some 600 time zones, 91 major cities listed before you type, and a mark on the ones already into tomorrow or still on yesterday. NO SECONDS HAND By design. iOS refreshes a widget once a minute, so a seconds hand would sit frozen. The dials are built around hour and minute hands instead. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Atelier Pro is one purchase, not a subscription. The Dress collection stays free in full — all nine finishes, both dial widgets, every size, Lock Screen and StandBy. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no network, no tracking, no data collection. Nothing leaves your device.

About

A Small Clock

Read full description

A quiet analog clock for iPhone and iPad, inspired by the clear faces and compact proportions of vintage travel clocks. Add A Small Clock to your Home Screen and resize the same widget from one clock in Small to two in Medium, four in Large, and six in extra-large portrait on iOS 27. Choose independent time zones and colors for each clock. Local time can appear without a place label; selected cities appear on their dials. My colors uses your saved app palette, and companion clocks can follow the first clock or use their own palette. The small widget supports StandBy on compatible iPhones. The app adapts to portrait and landscape and to light and dark appearance. iOS controls widget timing and appearance; timeline refresh is best effort, and a guaranteed one-second widget or StandBy cadence is not promised. A Small Clock is free, works offline, and has no ads, accounts, tracking or in-app purchases. It is a clock app with no alarm feature.
