Ambient Time
Thirty ambient clock faces
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Thirty clock faces, from a spelled-out word clock to a generative Mandaza face. Nine color themes, on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
Ambient Time turns any screen into a quiet, beautiful clock.
Thirty faces, each its own way of telling time. A few of them:
• Word Clock: the time spelled out in words, in nine languages plus
IPA phonetic transcription.
• Dial: a clean analog face, with twelve languages plus IPA for the
numerals.
• Ransom: cut-and-paste ransom-note letters that reshuffle on the
minute.
• Binary: hours, minutes, and seconds as glowing binary columns.
• Year: how far through the year you are, down to the decimal.
• ASCII World Clock: a text-art globe with the hour around the world.
• Mandaza: a generative face driven by the same engine as the Mandaza
app, never quite the same twice.
And two dozen more: an abacus, an hourglass, a water clock, a
departure-board transit clock, a pendulum, a French Republican
calendar, hex and thermal and moiré faces, and others to find.
Tap to cycle nine color themes: the original palettes from the web
clocks at dr.eamer.dev/clocks. Swipe on iPhone and iPad, or use the
remote on Apple TV, to move between faces.
Built natively in SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. No account,
no tracking, no network calls. Just the time, the way you want to see
it.
