Introducing
More than a clock. A window.
Time Flies: Living Clock™ turns your iPad into a calm, always-on clock surrounded by a living window scene. Rain trickles down the glass, snow drifts past the pines, and the light changes from sunrise to moonlight. Set it on a nightstand, kitchen counter, or desk and let it run.
On iPad
Designed for the big screen
Portrait or landscape, framed window or full-bleed scenery. The clock always comes first.

Features
Everything a clock should be, and a little more
Make It Yours
Choose the font, size, weight, color, and position. 12 or 24-hour time, seconds, date, and temperature, all optional.
Living Window Scenery
A mountain cabin view with framed and frameless window styles, and lighting that follows the time of day.
Rain on the Glass
Our signature effect: droplets gather, slide, and leave trails down the window, while rain falls beyond it.
Live Local Weather
Enter a ZIP code and the scene follows your actual weather, from sunshine to snow. No location permission needed.
Weather Preview
Don't wait for a storm. Preview sunny, rain, snow, thunderstorm, moonlight, and sunset scenes any time, free.
Nightstand Mode
A large, dimmed clock with minimal detail and gentler animation, made for the bedroom.
Official Weather Alerts Planned
Official U.S. weather warnings for your area, free for everyone. A helpful extra, not a replacement for emergency alert systems.
Accessible by Design
VoiceOver, high contrast, and Reduce Motion support, with a calm static scene available.
Weather Scenery
Every kind of weather, one beautiful view
Weather and light work together, so you might see rain at sunset or snow under moonlight. These six presets are available to everyone in Weather Preview.
Color studies only. Real in-app scenery screenshots will replace these before launch.
Demo
See it in motion
Demo video coming soon
We'll share a short walkthrough of the clock, rain on the glass, and Weather Preview once the scenery is final.
