## Description

Night Clock is a minimalist and dimmable night clock extension designed to display the time in big, bold letters with customizable fonts (three choices) and any color with adjustable transparency. It features a built-in alarm or supports your device's stock alarm. The extension ensures silence by muting notifications and supports tap-to-dim functionality for the lowest screen brightness, making it ideal for overnight use. It automatically launches when the phone is placed in a multimedia dock and includes a flipped mode for use without a dock. Night Clock is intended for use while your phone is plugged in to prevent battery drain. The DONATE version offers the added benefit of turning off button backlights to save power. With thoughtful design for battery conservation and ease of use, Night Clock is perfect for those seeking a simple, classic night clock experience on their device.

## Review summary

Night Clock is praised for its simple, unobtrusive design that does exactly what it promises, with an ad-free, lightweight footprint. It excels in dark-room use thanks to a near-black background and a convenient brightness toggle, and it has a strong track record of reliability over many years. The main drawbacks are inconsistent or hard-to-access settings for customization and recurring compatibility issues on newer devices or after updates, including UI glitches and full-screen limitations.
