Description

Popularized by the Simpson's season 10 episode, "They Saved Lisa's Brain" and implemented by French Revolutionaries from 1793 to 1795, metric time consists of 10 hours per day and 100 minutes per hour. Mid-day is 5:00 and midnight is 10:00, easier than imperial numbers for orienting your day-to-day activities. With the clock's simple and direct display, you can show your friends a different way to tell time, or set up a display on your desk, with your iPhone or iPad.

Metric minutes are a little bit longer than imperial minutes, so be patient when watching the time progress.

Because there are 100 minutes in an hour, the time 4:85 is equivalent to 4.85 (decimal); click on the time to convert between colon or a period in the time display.

Click the paint brush button to change the colors of the interface. Also, switch back and forth between local metric time and Universal metric time with the globe button.

Good but almost 5 stars if...

App is great but if there were option of being able to see the metric seconds that would make this 5 star

Looking for something like this for YEARS

Finally, finally…I found a metric clock app that displays the decidays and millidays rather than some .beat time system or other nonsensical numbers. I’m very pleased with this app😊 Green numbers on a black background is my favorite color combination offered by this app. Will gladly continue using.

The timepiece you didn't realize you needed

Amuse your friends and confound your enemies when they ask the time and you show them that it's 4:99 PM!

Inspired by a famous Simpsons episode, the app has portrait and landscape mode and different color options.

Now if I could only give 10 out of 10 stars instead of 5 out of 5...
