Check precise NTP reference time at a glance. AtomicClock helps you set watches, wall clocks, cameras, and other devices, compare local time with UTC, and follow moments when every second matters.
Clear analog and digital time
AtomicClock displays current time from NTP servers that reference atomic clocks. Choose a predefined server or add your own, then view local or UTC time in a clean analog or digital clock.
Customize your reference clock
• Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time
• Customize the time format
• Choose from multiple clock faces and hands
• Use a smooth, fluid second hand
• Add acoustic ticking or the Greenwich Time Signal
• Tap the screen to hide information and controls, freeze the display, or mute ticking
Details for precise time checks
View technical NTP information, including round-trip time and server stratum. Whether you are checking a timestamp, preparing a camera, aligning a wall clock, or setting a watch by hand, the seconds remain clear and easy to follow.
AtomicClock is free to use. AtomicClock Pro is available as a one-time purchase with no subscription. It unlocks your preferred clock face, hands, and font, removes ads, and includes upcoming Pro features.
AtomicClock displays NTP reference time for comparison and does not change your device’s system time. Results can vary with the selected server, network conditions, and device behavior.
Update to my previous review, I apologise after a small complaint I made about advertisements on the app, I understand these are essential in the making of apps and after all it is only a small fee for what is after all a very handy app so please except my apologies and thank you for doing what you do. Colin.
Developer Response
I am building apps for a living. It's my job and I need to charge a small fee to pay my bills. You can use the app completely for free, but with ads. Really frustrating to read reviews like this as a developer. If I made the app for free and without ads, I couldn't do this...
Very good app.
