Rimtal: Norse Time

Tell time like the Vikings: by the sun's path across the sky, with Old Norse names, widgets, and Apple Watch.

Rimtal brings the old Norse calendar to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, the way the Vikings actually kept time: by the season, the week and the mark of the sun.

THE DAY IN EIGHT MARKS Instead of a clock face, the day is read from the sun's direction across the sky. Eight day-marks (eyktir), from Miðnætti at north to Hádegi at south, show where the sun stands right now, with the Old Norse name, the compass bearing and the historical context for each one.

TWELVE MONTHS WITH REAL HISTORY Every month carries its own name and origin, from Sólmánuður, the sun month of high summer, to the deep of winter. Each comes with the old farm custom that gave it its name.

FOUR THEMES Light and dark for everyone, plus two collector themes, Viking and Dragon, with hand-drawn Norse lettering.

ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN A complication for every watch face and home-screen widgets keep Norse time one glance away.

Two themes and the core calendar are free. Premium unlocks the special themes, the watch complications and the widgets.
