Desk Clock Pro - Night Clock

Desk Clock Pro turns a charging phone or tablet into a big, easy-to-read desk clock and bedside night clock. Plug in the cable or set the phone on a wireless charger and the clock appears by itself. At night it turns red and dim, and the time in cities around the world is one glance away.

Every clock and world clock feature is free, with no limits. Premium (a one-time purchase) adds a digital photo frame that alternates the clock with your photos.

MAIN FEATURES

■ 8 clock faces, any color

Digital, Bold, LED, Flip, Neon, Stacked, Analog and Minimal. Pick the clock and background colors or mix your own, and set the size, 12 or 24 hours, seconds and date style. Swipe sideways to change the face, up or down to change the brightness.

■ What the clock can show

Date, battery level, time until fully charged, the next alarm from your phone's clock app, and up to 3 world clocks.

■ Night mode

Starts on a schedule or when the room gets dark (light sensor). Choose a night color and brightness, and use "Extra dim" to go darker than the phone's own minimum. Red light is the least likely to disturb sleep.

■ Appears when charging starts

Plug in, or place the phone on a wireless charger, and the clock comes to the front. Unplug and it closes. Limit it by charging type (any / not a PC / wireless only), to night only, or to when the screen is off. "Ready to show automatically" checks each permission and setting for you.

■ Screen saver

Pick Desk Clock Pro as the Android screen saver to show the clock while charging or docked.

■ Made to stay on a desk

• Show over the lock screen: read the time without unlocking

• Keep the screen on: always / while charging / follow the phone

• Burn-in protection: shifts the display a little every minute

• Touch lock: ignores taps and swipes

• Hourly chime with its own volume, silent at night if you like

■ World clock

Add as many cities as you want. Search by city, country, abbreviation (JST, PST) or UTC offset (+9). See the time difference, day or night, and daylight saving time. DST changes apply automatically, with a notice when a city's time difference is about to change. Rename cities ("Home", "Head office") and reorder them.

■ Time converter and meeting times

Shift the time and every city moves together. See what 10 a.m. in Tokyo is in New York, then copy the result as text. The 24-hour table colors each city's working and sleeping hours and finds the times when everyone is at work.

■ Widgets and Quick Settings tile

A clock widget (large time, date, next alarm), a world clock widget (up to 4 cities), and a tile that opens the clock in one tap.

DIGITAL PHOTO FRAME (PREMIUM)

■ Clock and photos, taking turns

Show the clock for a few minutes, then photos for a few minutes. At night the photos can pause so only the clock stays.

■ Clock over photos

Run photos continuously with a small or large clock on top, or none.

■ Your photos, your way

Import up to 1,000 photos with the photo picker, or choose a folder: photos added later join automatically. Set the interval, transition (fade, slide, zoom), order (shuffle with no repeats, oldest or newest first) and fit. Plus Ken Burns motion, two portrait photos side by side, and "On this day" photos. Works in the screen saver too.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE

Photos are handled only on this device and are never sent anywhere. You choose them with the system photo picker or a folder, so the app never asks to read your whole gallery.
