Stays awake, dims itself
Auto-lock is suspended while the clock is open, and the face fades to a low night brightness so it does not light the room at 3am.
Fullscreen
Your desk clock.
Your focus.
Thirteen faces that fill the whole screen, keep the display awake and dim themselves at night. Prop the phone against your monitor and it stops being a phone.

Landscape or portrait
Both orientations are composed separately. Landscape is the desk clock; portrait is the shelf clock.
Pomodoro built in
Switch the same screen into a 25/5 focus timer with a ring that empties as you work. No second app, no notification spam.

Faces that scale to fill a screen
Shown small here; on device they fill the display.
The best use for an old iPhone
An iPhone two generations old is a beautiful 6-inch OLED panel with a charging port and a metal frame. As a phone it is tired. As a permanent desk clock it is better than almost anything you could buy for the same money.
Plug it in, open the fullscreen clock, set it to night dimming and leave it. It will run for years.
The same mode works on iPad, where a 11-inch face across the room is genuinely useful in a kitchen or a studio.
Questions
Fullscreen, answered.
Does the screen stay on the whole time?
Yes, auto-lock is disabled while the fullscreen clock is open, and re-enabled the moment you leave it.
Can I use it as a screensaver at night?
Yes. Night dimming drops the brightness and desaturates the face, which is comfortable in a dark bedroom.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes, in both orientations, with layouts scaled for the larger display.
