About this app

Bedside Clock is a simple nightstand clock made to stay on all night. It shows the time in big, easy-to-read digits on a pure black background. If your phone has an upcoming alarm, the alarm time and how long until you wake up appear on the same line.

The screen stays awake while the app is open. Brightness only affects this app's window; your system brightness doesn't change. New installs start at 3% brightness, and you can choose 3%, 6%, 10% or 20% in Settings. Color, font, 12 or 24-hour format, and landscape or portrait orientation are saved too.

Low brightness is recommended to protect OLED screens. The clock shifts a few pixels every minute and moves to a different area of the screen about every two hours, so the same pixels aren't lit all the time. For long overnight use, we recommend keeping your phone on the charger.

Double-tap the clock to close the app. Settings are behind the gear icon. Ads never appear on the clock screen; there is only a banner at the bottom of Settings and an occasional full-screen ad.

Bedside Clock does not set, ring, snooze or dismiss alarms. It only reads the next alarm that Android publishes.
