Your Night Clock: Customizable Digital & Analog Styles for Night & Desk

Transform your smartphone or tablet into an elegant and practical clock for your bedside table or desk! As soon as you charge your device, your Night Clock comes to life, beautifully displaying the time.


Choose Your Style: Digital, Analog, and More!
Personalize your Night Clock with a wide range of styles. Whether you prefer a modern digital clock display or a classic analog clock face, you'll find a style to match your taste. Easily change colors and fonts. For a unique retro touch, you can optionally activate the charismatic Flip Clock design – a premium feature that adds a special charm to your display. Adjust the font size of the digits or the overall clock size easily with a two-finger zoom gesture, ensuring perfect readability.


Intelligent Brightness Control for Every Situation
You have the choice: set the brightness of your Night Clock manually to your liking or let the automatic brightness control assist you. In Night Mode, the display becomes as dark as possible – on AMOLED displays, you can achieve perfect black.


All Important Info at a Glance
On your Night Clock, you'll instantly see important information such as the current battery level, the date, and new notifications.


Weather Forecast and Internet Radio Included
Optionally, your Night Clock can display current weather conditions and offers a 5-day forecast for the coming days, based on OpenWeatherMap.


Internet Radio & Alarm Clock
Enjoy your favorite radio stations directly in the app and even use them as an alarm clock. Simply activate the "Quick Alarm" option.


Focus: Night Mode & Display Adjustment
To optimally adjust your Night Clock's display at night, please deactivate your Daydreams (Settings > Display > DayDream). The clock adapts to bright ambient light or reactivates as soon as the noise level in the room exceeds a certain value.


Notification Access
To display notifications, your Night Clock requires access to your notifications. Please enable this in your system settings under:
Settings > Security & Privacy > Notification Access (or similar, depending on device manufacturer) > Enable Night Clock.

Ratings and reviews

I initially reviewed this app w/ 1 star, because there was a bug severely effecting it's performance. I had used it for years and was very disappointed it had become virtually unusable. The developer jumped on it and fixed it quickly and I'm now happy to give it 5 stars. It's the only clock app I could find that has the features I want - notably no ads or in app purchases, a fade in alarm, and a reliable auto night mode setting.

I've been using this every night for years and rarely think about it, which I realized means it's been a great app for me. I’ve set it up as a very dim display that stays on all night and looks like my old clock-radio. Just bright enough to read if I wake up in the middle of the night, and auto- adjusts the brightness as the sun comes up.

Was the best choice for what I was after. However it crashes quite often on my Pixel 9 pro. Didn't have this issue for the first couple days so I decided to buy the full version. Now it crashes quite a few times a day. Kinda wish I wouldn't have bought the full version at this point. Thinking about uninstalling it and finding something better unfortunately.
