The Family Clock vs Voice Clock

Your family’s latest status, with clear choices for your places. Family Clock shows the latest confirmed status and update time for up to six family members on a crafted brass dial. See who is at home, at work or school, on the move, or out of town. An offline member’s last confirmation time remains visible. Private residence, work, and school places stay on your devices. On iPhone and iPad, you can choose to sync their rules through your own private iCloud database. Apple location, geocoding, and Maps services help resolve places and cities. Daily status does NOT upload precise private-place coordinates to the family service or create a location trail. The shared family Home address and latest status visible to members are encrypted and synced by a separate family service. Each member chooses whether to share daily status and can pause updates. • A crafted family dial: Portraits, clock hands, and member cards bring everyone together. • Optional automatic status: Add familiar places and grant location permission to let your device assess status. • Close at hand: iPhone Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus an Apple Watch app. • Ask family for help: Start and confirm a help request yourself. You can separately choose to share your latest location during the request. Updates and help alerts depend on permissions, connectivity, and system scheduling. The app does not contact emergency services. Creating or joining a family is free. Daily status sharing requires an active monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription; one subscription covers up to six family members.

Voice Clock says the time out loud, on a schedule you choose — and keeps working when the app is closed. Most talking clocks stop after a few days. Voice Clock is built on iOS 26's alarm system, so announcements survive a force-quit and a reboot. If anything goes wrong, it tells you before you notice, and why. ANNOUNCE THE TIME, YOUR WAY • On the hour, or every 30, 15, 10 or 5 minutes • Custom minute and second intervals, down to five seconds • A five-minute heads-up before each announcement • Active hours, quiet hours and per-weekday rules • Four ways to say it, from "It's quarter past three" to "Three fifteen" • Write your own phrase: "Hey — it's {time}. {message}" TWENTY-SIX CLOCK FACES — SWIPE TO CHANGE Swipe left or right on the clock to try another, or tap See all to browse the set by theme. The default, Tidal Dial, is a 24-hour dial where every brass tick is a moment it will speak. Classic — Tidal Dial · Classic Analog · Rings · Minimal Typographic — Large Type · Word Clock · Digital · Terminal · Dot Matrix · Pixel · Editorial Retro — Flip · Nixie · Vinyl Expressive — Neon · Love · Starfield Instrument — Speed · Sunrise · Orbit · Chronograph Calm — Aurora · Wave · Breathe Luxe — Mesh · Gold Fifteen of them move — Love beats once a second, Gold catches a shine that travels across the hour, and the Speed gauge redlines in the last minute before it speaks. All hold still with Reduce Motion on. Keep one face everywhere, or give each surface its own. BUILD YOUR OWN FACE • Five layouts: centred, stacked, corner, hands, or in words • Five typefaces, six weights, ten colours, previewed as you pick • Your own photo as the background, from your library or the camera • A dimming slider, so digits stay readable over a busy picture Your photo is copied into the app and never leaves your device. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT • VoiceOver from the first screen, not bolted on afterwards • Dynamic Type to the largest accessibility sizes • High-contrast theme, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency • Simple Mode: one enormous "Say the time" button and nothing else YOUR OWN SOUNDS • Record your voice — or anyone's — as the announcement • Bring in a track, a voice memo, or any audio file • Turn a sentence into a sound, in a system voice or your Personal Voice • A real waveform editor: trim, fades, gain, loudness matching, speed • Nothing is destructive. Your original file is never modified. ALARMS AND TIMERS THAT TALK • Alarms that speak their label — "Time to take your tablets" • Prominent alarms ring through silent mode and Focus • Spoken cues at halfway, 1 minute, 30 seconds and 3·2·1 • Multi-step interval timers for circuits and recipes • Focus Sessions that announce elapsed time — "Twenty minutes in" EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Apple Watch app and complications · Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets · Control Center · Siri and Shortcuts · Live Activity · iPad and Mac TWO THINGS NOBODY ELSE HAS Sound Check runs nine live checks and says in plain language whether the app will work, with the fix beside each. The Delivery Log records every announcement — spoken, skipped or failed — with the reason. "Skipped 3:00 PM — you were on a call." No account. No server. No analytics. No ad identifiers. No third-party code. Speech is synthesised on device. Your recordings, photos, schedules and settings stay there, and sync only through your own private iCloud. Pro adds unlimited schedules, all twenty-six faces, the face builder, Personal Voice, custom phrases, second-level intervals, the full audio editor, multi-step timers and CarPlay.
