Tabletop: Flip Clock & Photos
Digital, analog & desk faces
$2.99
A full-screen desk clock with your own photos behind it. Six faces, one price, no ads and no subscriptions.
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a full-screen desk clock, with your own photos drifting quietly behind the time.
Set it on a desk, a nightstand, or a shelf and leave it there. Tabletop is meant to be looked at, not used.
SIX CLOCK FACES
• Flip — split-flap cards, with a real mechanical flip
• Nixie — warm glow, least blue light
• Segment — seven-segment, unlit strokes visible
• Analog — swept second hand, date window
• Bold — readable across the room
• Minimal — quiet and unadorned
Every face can be tinted white, amber, crimson, or emerald, or left to match the face's own color.
YOUR PHOTOS, BEHIND THE CLOCK
Choose up to 500 photos from your library. They cross-dissolve into one another and drift slowly, so the picture never looks frozen — and the clock stays readable on top. Change the pace to 5, 30, or 60 seconds, in order or shuffled.
Swipe in either direction, or tap the screen and use the toggle, to move between the photos and the full-screen clock.
ONE PURCHASE
Every clock face and every tint is unlocked the moment you open the app. No ads. No subscriptions. No account to create.
BUILT TO SIT THERE
• Keeps the screen awake while it's open
• Switches to the clock on its own during a window you set, for overnight
• 12- or 24-hour, with or without seconds, three date formats
• Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad
PRIVACY
We don't run a server. Photos you choose are copied into the app's own storage on your device and are never sent anywhere. There are no analytics SDKs, no advertising SDKs, no tracking identifiers, and no accounts.
ACCESSIBILITY
VoiceOver reads the time aloud rather than announcing an image. Turning on Reduce Motion stops the photo drift and the flip animation.
