Big Digital Clock vs Ply

Electronic Clock is a minimal full-screen digital clock — and a way to give the old phone in your drawer a second life. Plug an old phone or tablet into power, open Electronic Clock, and it becomes a big clock for your desk, nightstand or wall, with the local weather on screen too. Instead of letting an old device gather dust or end up as e-waste, put it back to work — and skip buying another clock. Time and weather at a glance: large hours and minutes fill the center of the screen, with seconds and a weather emoji right beside them, and the date, weekday and local temperature along the top. No unlocking, no opening other apps — one look tells you the time, the temperature and whether you need an umbrella. Ideas for an old device: • An old iPhone as a bedside clock, a retired iPad as a living room or kitchen clock • A spare phone on your office desk, in the entryway or at a shop counter • Second-hand phones, backup phones and hand-me-downs all find a use Features: • 12-hour or 24-hour clock that updates every second — set automatically for your region • Date and weekday at the top, with the weekday in English, Chinese or Japanese • Seconds and a weather emoji next to the time • Optional: uses your location to show the local temperature (°C or °F) and conditions • Weather data from MET Norway's public API — free, no ads • Choose the font, text size, text colour and background colour, or pick a built-in style preset • Celsius or Fahrenheit, matched to your region by default • App available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese • Landscape full-screen layout on a black background by default; text scales to fit iPhone and iPad • Keeps the screen awake and hides the status bar for a clean display Optional Pro (one-time purchase, yours forever): • Custom colours for text and background • 5 extra fonts and 6 extra style presets • Flip clock animation Privacy: No account, no ads, no analytics, no developer servers. Location permission is optional; if granted, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km and sent only to MET Norway to look up the weather — never stored or tracked. See the privacy policy for details.

Lay your phone flat between two players and play. Ply is a chess clock built to feel like a real one: a heavy press you can feel, a rocker that tips to the side that just moved, and a flag that really falls when time runs out. The far player's digits face them, and the screen never dims mid-game. Ply keeps time, not score: every chess, go and shogi time control, a radial turn timer for up to 8 players, and a real sand hourglass. EVERY TIME CONTROL, FREE • Sudden death, Fischer increment (after or before the move), Bronstein delay and simple (US) delay • Multi-stage controls by move count, byo-yomi with a spoken count (in your language or in Japanese) for go and shogi, and Canadian overtime • Word-game overtime: at zero nobody flags, and the clock counts on in minus so the table can score the penalty • Sand Duel: one hourglass between two players, where every second you think pours into your opponent's side • FIDE/USCF-style time controls, named in plain words, so everyone agrees on the rules before the first move • Move counter, undo the last press, and time correction while paused • Silent mode for tournament rooms, a talking clock, large-tap mode and a High-Contrast face ROUND TABLE (PRO) Time a whole board-game table of 2 to 8 players on one dial. Every name faces its seat, the current player's segment lights up, and a tap in the centre passes the turn. Per-turn limits, a time bank for each player, or no limit at all, with turn stats at the end that show who took the longest. A REAL HOURGLASS The Glass tab is a sand timer made of real, falling grains. Turn your phone over and the sand starts to run; tilt it and the sand follows. Classic durations are free; Hourglass Pro adds any length, six sands and three glasses. CLOCKS WORTH LOOKING AT (PRO) Walnut & Brass with an analog dial and a falling flag, Bakelite, Tournament LCD and anodized metals. Aluminium, Night and High-Contrast are free. MADE FOR THE TABLE • Flat between you, or standing beside the board in landscape, like a real clock • A game survives your phone closing the app: it comes back paused, right where you were • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri, Shortcuts, the Action Button and a Control Center control • A game card after every game, with each move's think time, ready to share • Works offline. No account. No ads. No tracking. • For casual, club and teaching play. Rated events may require an approved clock. HONEST PRICING The complete two-player clock, with every time control, is free forever. Ply Pro adds Round Table, the Pro faces, your full game history and any hourglass. It's a single one-time purchase, never a subscription, and it works with Family Sharing. Your first game in every Pro mode is on us.
