Big Time Clock.

No bloat, and we mean it literally

It is a clock. It should be tiny, and it is — about 0.4 MB, one of the smallest things we have shipped. Small enough to leave on a decade-old iPhone you have repurposed as a bedside display without a second thought.

Features

What Big Time Clock does

Digital or analog

A full-screen digital clock with massive numerals, or an elegant analog face with a smoothly sweeping red second hand.

Portrait and landscape

Rotate the device and the layout adapts — upright in a dock, on its side in a stand.

Made for night

A deep-black background that sits right on OLED displays and cuts glare in a dark bedroom.

Your format, your type

12-hour or 24-hour, light or bold typography, and a day and date display you can switch off.

Auto-hiding controls

One tap reveals the controls, another hides them. No menus, no settings pages, no account.

No tracking, ever

No ads, no analytics, no data collection — just a clock that does its job.

The promise

How every averyio app works

01

No bloat

Megabytes, not gigabytes. No frameworks bolted on, no ad libraries, no analytics SDK phoning home — nothing ships that has not earned its place.

02

No subscriptions

No monthly fee waiting to catch you out, and nothing that quietly renews. What you get is yours to keep.

03

No ads, ever

Not a banner, not an interstitial, not a “watch this to continue”. You are the customer, never the product.

04

Private by design

No tracking, no analytics, nothing sold. Your data lives on your device — and where an app syncs or backs up, it goes through your own private iCloud account, never a server of ours or anyone else's.

FAQ

Big Time Clock questions, answered

Will the screen turn off while I am using it?

No. Big Time Clock keeps the display awake for as long as the clock is on screen, so it works as a proper bedside or desk clock.

Can I use an old iPhone or iPad as a dedicated clock?

That is one of the best uses for it. Plug an older device into a charger, put it in a stand, and it becomes a permanent nightstand, kitchen or studio clock.

Does it support 24-hour time?

Yes — switch between 12-hour and 24-hour format, and toggle the day and date display on or off.

Is there an analog clock as well?

Yes, both faces are built in. Like the digital clock, the analog face works in portrait and landscape.

Does it collect any data?

No tracking, no ads, no data collection. Read the Big Time Clock privacy policy for the full statement.
