Free. No ads, tracking or in-app purchases. No special permissions. Works even when there is no cell service or wifi. No visual clutter. A simple, sincere app. Just install and run.
Stays on until you switch to another app or turn off your phone. Unlock your phone and the clock is there for you.
Nine color choices ranging from high contrast to low-contrast colors as shown in screenshot.
Works on older phones and tablets.
Useful as a handy bedside clock or as a clock you can glance at during Zoom meetings, client meetings and on-stage performances and speeches.
Optional red setting preserves your night vision. Useful during the night for sailing and camping trips.
Not overloaded with extra content or settings. Simple by design.
If you like lots of fiddly-bits and screens filled with content, this is not the app for you.

What it is not:
— not a timer

— no date or day of the week
— not a countdown clock (that is my next app)
— no alarm (your existing phone alarm continues to work)
— no cute icons (clutter that makes the time harder to read)
— no seconds (allows the time to display as large as possible)
— no choice of fonts (you get a carefully chosen easy-to-read font)
— no optional backgrounds (plain nearly black for lower power usage, clear numbers)
Please don’t give a bad review for something the clock is not designed to do. Feel free to contact me with requests for other apps.
Why Did I Build This? My low-vision mom complained she could not read the time on her phone. Then she said “What’s the point? Apps have too many settings to deal with anyway. I can’t read them.” Then a neighbor said something similar. I personally find it useful as an always-on clock that I can easily see from a distance, day and night. I am a one-person app developer. I hope it makes a difference in peoples’ lives.
User Data: This app does not collect any user data including device info or location. Nothing collected, so nothing to sell or share. Visit the app’s privacy policy at http://astonishinc.com/apps/privacy-policy for full details.
It is forever free. I hope you find it useful. I have zero marketing budget. Please spread the word if you like it. Also don’t forget to help your lower vision relatives, neighbors and friends. They find it difficult to search the Play store and struggle with installing apps.
