Description
A simple, elegant nightstand clock made for iPhones with OLED screens.
Because only the active pixels light up, you can have the time displayed all night without being kept awake by light leaking. And if it's still too light for you - just slide your finger over the screen to dim the clock display or select a less intense color by tapping the time.
Features:
* Display date and battery under the time. Or not.
* Touch the time to set the color.
* Slide up and down to set the intensity.
* Pinch to resize font.
* Works equally well in portrait and landscape modes.
* The time always moves to ensure no burn-in.
* Very low power consumption.
* No ads, no in app-purchases, this is a labour of love, the only reason it's not free is to cover my App Store costs
* Also, no user tracking. I really don't care who you are
That's it, really. Instead of having loads of functions, this app tries to do one thing and to do it well.
There are no advanced color pickers (I chose five nice colors for you!), no alarms, no background images, no distracting information.
Just the time (and date and battery), beautifully displayed.
Keep the time visible at all times while you sleep or daydream.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple and perfect
This is a very simple app, just a clock with adjustable brightness and a few colour options. You can display the date and battery level if you want as well. But the best thing about it is that the annoying home bar at the bottom of the screen turns off after a few seconds.
This doesn’t happen in any other nightstand app that I have used. I’m quite sensitive to light and find that the home bar is too bright especially when sleeping with my phone right next to my bed. All I really wanted is a dim clock to display the time so if I wake up I can have a peek at the time and then doze off again. I don’t want the bright white light of the home bar shining in my face all night.
If I were to make any changes I think it might be nice to have an option to change the size of the clock displayed but I’m nitpicking. This app is great.
Does what it does well 👍🏻
Coupled with a shortcut to run this app and turn off assistive touch when connected to power (and to turn it back on again when disconnected), this app is great. One thing I haven’t been able to work out how to do is to display battery level and the date… any ideas? Thanks
Nice, but not exactly as described.....?
Love the simplicity of this app, it’s exactly what I was looking for, however even with the brightness turned down to minimum on my phone and the number brightness turned down low in-app, the screen still glows quite brightly in complete darkness. This defeats the whole purpose for me - I want to be able to partially open one eye at night to read the time then nod straight off again, but once I’ve seen the room lit up its game over - I’m awake. Either I’m doing something wrong, or the claim that ‘only the number pixels light up’ is not true.
