Description

A bedside clock that keeps you in the dark—except when you want to know the time. The clock display disappears after an adjustable time interval, letting you (and the device) rest peacefully.

Touch the screen to check the time, which will again disappear after the adjustable interval. On iPhones in portrait orientation, you don't have to touch the screen to see the time. Simply wave your hand in front of the screen to activate the iPhone's proximity detector and the time display! Or, on all devices, enable adaptive vibration sensing to activate the display with a touch to your nightstand or even a footstep on your floor.

Optional brightness dimming is also provided, which lowers the screen's backlight brightness on LCD devices once the clock has disappeared to produce an even darker display and lower power consumption. (The backlight is dimmed as low as possible automatically, but it is not turned off. On iPhones in portrait orientation, holding your hand in front of phone's proximity sensor for a full second will turn off the backlight. )

If you have enabled "Hey Siri!" you can activate the time display with your voice. Simply say "Hey Siri! Goodbye." to see the time! Use Siri to enable Do Not Disturb mode and manage alarms.

Embrace the darkness!

Features:
* Digital or analog, 12 or 24-hour time display options (2 & 3-finger long press toggles)
* Swipe right or tap to display the time
* Adjustable, automatic time-display fadeout
* Swipe left to immediately darken the display
* Double tap to toggle between automatic disappearance mode and always-on time display
* Pan vertically with two fingers to adjust undimmed display brightness
* Optional automatic backlight dimming
* Select normal or thin display fonts (one-finger long press to toggle)
* Customize the time-display color
* Hide date option
* No-touch activation
> proximity detection on iPhones in portrait orientation
> adaptive vibration sensing
> voice activation using Siri

The default vibration sensitivity setting is quite high, so you may want to decrease it slightly if ambient vibrations are triggering the display unintentionally.

No ads, no in-app purchases, no nonsense.

Get ready for a great nights sleep

Fantastic little app that removes your annoying bedside clock light but is there when you want it (a small noiseless tap on my bedside table brings my clock back to life). It does everything it says it will with helpful additional info available on the developers website. Even though the app info says it is for IOS 11 and later, earlier versions are available if you want to revive that old iPhone 4 or 5. I received really fast and accurate support from the developer pointing me to how to download the older version. Thanks Dan for a great app and super service.

I think this is a great app because I hate light at my bedside for sleeping. If you leave your phone on a cradle it works perfectly for what I need.

Doesn't do as described

This is an honest review. I downloaded this app because it said that when in use it turns the display off after a set time. This is totally inaccurate! What it does is put up a black screen by turning the ambiance down. It does NOT turn the screen off! I can understand now why the screen can not turn completely off because it would have to lock the phone and then checking the time would require unlocking the screen defeating the purpose of just tapping the table for the clock to turn on. I woke up to my phone being very warm because the display was on all night. Not what I expected! I will be applying to iTunes for a refund but the developer needs to be more honest with its customers and explain that this app will not turn the display off but turn the ambiance right down but not off.
