Night Clock

Ned Fox

About this app

DONATE version turns off button backlights.

If the background is a gradient instead of just black, you need to: turn off "Force GPU rendering" in your phone's "Developer"
settings.

To find the settings menu on S5, just hold in the multitasking key (left soft key at bottom of phone).

If you have a problem, email me! This app is intended to be used with the phone plugged in. In "dim" mode the battery will last longer, but having it on all night will drain at least half your battery if you aren't charging.

This is a simple, retro-style night clock. It will display the time in big, bold letters (three fonts and any color to choose from), along with having a built-in alarm (or you can use your stock android alarm, it it's supported). Since the screen will stay on while the application is open (unless you manually turn it off), it is highly recommended that you keep your phone plugged in to charge otherwise it will drain the battery.

Some features include:
-Silence notifications
-Tap to dim screen to lowest possible setting
-Launches when put into the multimedia dock (also has flipped mode for use without a dock)
-Font and color settings (when choosing text color, drag your finger away from the center to change transparency)
-Built in alarm (or use stock Android alarm, if your phone supports it)
-Show next alarm on clock screen

Ratings and reviews

Help. I can't turn the alarm off! This clock is brilliant. I out it on last week while staying in a hotel and the clock is clearly visible but somehow found an alarm setting which I can't now find to turn off. I'm going to have to uninstall so I don't get woken up too early but really loved the clock. There is no settings icon anything on the screen so not sure how I set it in the first place !

Some reviews wrongly (for my Galaxy anyway) suggest the app options menu is only available via a physical button. For my phone, and I think many others as well, you press and hold the soft 'back' button at bottom right. It's worth reading the good, detailed info on the app 'Play Store' page. This is a beautiful, small, app, that does exactly what it says it does, and without ads! Thanks Ned developer! I will be paying (optional) too!

Very plain, very straight forward. It's bright when you turn on the app and dims when you press the screen once. I can lock the phone and it runs over the lock screen and my alarm time is visible as well. Looks like a traditional bedside digital clock when turned on. The black background makes sure that there's no light shining against the ceiling
