Creative Clock Design

Ten clock faces that all tell the same real time: ants carry biscuits, forklifts stack crates, a brush writes in water. Swipe to change one for the next.

CreativeClock turns the time on your iPhone or iPad into ten small worlds. Every clock shows the same system time. Only the way it tells you changes.

Ants carry biscuits into place. Forklifts stack crates across a warehouse floor. A brush writes the numerals in water and lets them dry. A wall of little clock faces turns its hands until the digits appear.

Swipe up or left for the next clock, down or right for the one before.

THE TEN CLOCKS

Car Park Clock - cars drive in and park to spell out the time. Forklift Clock - forklifts carry crates across a warehouse floor. Worker Clock - couriers walk parcels into place, seen from above. Ant Cookie Clock - teams of ants carry biscuits between the digits. Kinetic Array - a grid of hands turns like a geared display board. Water Writing Clock - a brush writes the time in water on paper. Sundial Clock - a gnomon's shadow crosses a paper dial under a tree. Clock Wall - a wall of small clocks turns its hands to draw the digits. Word Clock - a lit glass panel spells the time out in words. Flip Clock - mechanical cards flip over as the minute turns.

SETTINGS

Dim at night - choose the hours and how deep the dimming goes. Rotate - pick the clocks you want and how often they change, from every minute to every hour. The change lands ten seconds before the minute turns, so a new clock moves as soon as it appears. Keep the screen on - for a phone or tablet left on a stand. Header - show or hide the title, date and time zone.

MADE TO BE LEFT RUNNING

It reads from across a room, stays on one clock when you want it to, and follows Reduce Motion. VoiceOver reads the current time on every clock.
