Description
The Clocks app transforms your phone, tablet, or mac into a beautiful clock display, perfect for any home office, bedroom, or studio. It's perfect as an alternative to Standby Mode with even more options:
◎ 20+ gorgeous and intentionally designed animated backgrounds
◎ 10 variations of clocks you can pair in any combination
◎ Some font and font color options for more personalization
◎ Private, no ads. Designed to be simple and stunning.
◎ Pro Park includes a download for matching screen savers on MacOS so your display can match across your entire work setup.
◎ Best used on a MagSafe charger, but also works on phones without it.
◎ Shortcuts support to allow Clocks to open automatically when connected to a charger
Does Clocks open automatically?
Not by default, but within Settings there's a tutorial on how to set it up using Shortcuts.
Does Clocks replace Standby mode?
We think Clocks is better fitted for daytime use and the official Standby for night time.
Will you release more packs in the future?
Yes! I plan on designing more backgrounds and clocks in future updates, some which will be free some which will be paid (but affordable).
Roadmap - Coming soon:
- More widgets
- Timers
- More font options and settings
What’s New
Version 1.24
Fixed a bug for the MacOS screensavers that would prevent it from working well on multiple monitors
Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic!
Gorgeous app, beautifully designed in every way, incredibly stunning animations, smooth as butter interface, and well worth the wait — and the one-time buy! Just WOW 🙌🏼 Feels like this was made by Apple, hot off the Cupertino press! Can’t wait to experience the widgets coming soon too 🔥
Only thing I could ask for right now is the ability to remove/add or drag-n-drop to rearrange my clocks. Overall, so very well done!!
Nothing seems to work properly.
I got the app and bought the power pack after reading a glowing review in the tech press. But I don't get the hype. Yes after a bunch of fiddling around, you can get it to run by means of a shortcut but then it sits there all day and night glowing brightly, which is some of you really don't want during bedtime. I do notice that at his website the developer says it's not meant to be used at night and you should use standby at night but do you really wanna fiddle with those settings every day? Don't get me started on the mac screensavers. I have no idea how those are supposed to work. All I get is a pixelated image with no time or anything else. Maybe it's just me, but the user experience was awful. I ended up asking for a refund, which is something I rarely do.
Developer Response ,
The idea is to use it during the daytime until Apple opens up the API for standby.
Using it on standby is incredible easy? Just lock your phone and standby takes over, don’t lock it and Clocks will.
Really clean clocks
This app really is for those who like to customize every small part of their experience. The designs to choose from are super nice and aesthetic. Unlocking everything the app has to offer with a 1 time $4 purchase is really nice to see these days, too.
Some suggestions would be I wish there was a dark mode for the app, and I do wish you could change the speed of the backgrounds. I’m not sure if they’re just videos so that isn’t really possible to do while maintaining a smooth animation, but that’d be nice.
Overall, I’d give it a 4.5 out of 5.
