About this app

Electronic Clock is a minimal full-screen digital clock — and a way to give the old phone in your drawer a second life.

Plug an old phone or tablet into power, open Electronic Clock, and it becomes a big clock for your desk, nightstand or wall, with the local weather on screen too. Instead of letting an old device gather dust or end up as e-waste, put it back to work — and skip buying another clock.

Time and weather at a glance: large hours and minutes fill the center of the screen, with seconds and a weather emoji right beside them, and the date, weekday and local temperature along the top. No unlocking, no opening other apps — one look tells you the time, the temperature and whether you need an umbrella.

Ideas for an old device:
• An old phone as a bedside clock, a retired tablet as a living room or kitchen clock
• A spare phone on your office desk, in the entryway or at a shop counter
• Second-hand phones, backup phones and hand-me-downs all find a use

Features:
• 24-hour clock that updates every second
• Date and weekday at the top, with the weekday in English, Chinese or Japanese
• Seconds and a weather emoji next to the time
• Optional: uses your location to show the local temperature (°C) and conditions
• Weather data from MET Norway's public API — free, no ads
• Choose the font, text size, text colour and background colour, or pick a built-in style preset
• 24-hour or 12-hour time, Celsius or Fahrenheit
• App available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese
• Landscape full-screen layout on a black background by default (customisable); text scales to fit phones and tablets
• Keeps the screen awake and hides the status bar for a clean display
• Optional Do Not Disturb while the clock is showing, restored automatically when you leave the app

Optional Pro (one-time purchase, yours forever):
• Custom colours for text and background
• 5 extra fonts and 6 extra style presets
• Flip animation

FAQ:
• Does it work offline? Yes. The time comes from your phone; only the weather needs internet, and it refreshes every 30 minutes.
• Can I use it without location permission? Yes. The clock works as usual, just without local weather.
• Can I change colours and fonts? Yes: 5 fonts, 4 text sizes, adjustable text and background colours, and 6 one-tap style presets.
• Does the screen stay on? While Electronic Clock is open the screen stays awake, so keep the device plugged in.

Privacy:
No account, no ads, no analytics, no developer servers. Location permission is optional; if granted, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km and sent only to MET Norway to look up the weather — never stored or tracked.
