Apple TV
Three new clock faces put a big time in the corner of any screen. Eight screens come free, and one-time packs add more.
Give your TV something worth looking at.
Basic Screens brings nature, motion and visual art to your Apple TV. Start with eight included screens, from still water and a warm fireplace to illustrated worlds and moving type.
Play one screen on repeat, play your whole library, or make a Mix with the screens you want together. Set the order or turn on shuffle.
Make the clock part of the scene. Show the time, day of the week, month and date in the combination you prefer. Pick the classic clock or one of three large faces, then set its size, corner and dark tint. Keep it visible, hide it, or let it fade in and out at the interval you choose.
Use the remote to move between screens, pause playback or bring up the title and clock. Press Back to return to your library.
Expand your library with optional Packs. Each pack is a separate one-time purchase. Purchased screens join your library and can go into any Mix. All clock controls, Mixes and shuffle come with the free app.
Basic Screens plays while the app is open, like any video app.
