App languagesTraditional ChineseSimplified ChineseEnglishJapanese
Electronic Clock is a minimal full-screen digital clock — and a way to give the old phone in your drawer a second life.
Plug an old phone or tablet into power, open Electronic Clock, and it becomes a big clock for your desk, nightstand or wall, with the local weather on screen too. Instead of letting an old device gather dust, put it back to work.
Large hours and minutes fill the center of the screen, with seconds and a weather emoji right beside them, and the date, weekday and local temperature along the top. One look tells you the time, the temperature and whether you need an umbrella.
Features
- Clock that updates every second, in 24-hour or 12-hour time

- App available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese, following your device language by default, with a switch in Settings

Optional Pro
A one-time purchase that is yours forever: custom colours for text and background, 5 extra fonts, 6 extra style presets and a flip animation. The clock and weather stay free.
No account, no ads, no analytics, no developer servers. Location permission is optional; if granted, coordinates are rounded to about 1 km and sent only to MET Norway to look up the weather — never stored or tracked.

FAQ
Can I use an old phone as a desk or bedside clock?
Yes. Install Electronic Clock on a spare iPhone, iPad, or Android phone or tablet, plug it in and open the app: it shows the time in large digits, with seconds and the local weather, full screen in landscape, and keeps the screen on while it is open. Requires iOS or iPadOS 15 or later, or Android 7.0 or later.
Can an iPad be a big wall or desk clock?
Yes. Electronic Clock supports iPad; set Text size to Full in Settings and the time scales up to fill the whole screen.
Can it show 12-hour time or Fahrenheit?
Yes. In Settings you can switch between 24-hour and 12-hour time, and between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Does it need to stay plugged in?
The app keeps the screen on while it is showing, which uses more battery than usual, so plug it in for long-term use as a clock.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. It is on Google Play for Android 7.0 or later, on phones and tablets, with the same features as on iOS; on Android it can also turn on Do Not Disturb while the clock is showing.
Where does the weather come from?
Weather comes from MET Norway's public API and updates every 30 minutes. Location permission is optional; without it the clock works as usual, just without the weather.
Is Electronic Clock free? What does Pro include?
The app is free to download, with no account, ads or analytics. Pro is an optional one-time purchase that is yours forever: custom colours for text and background, 5 extra fonts, 6 extra style presets and a flip animation. The clock and weather stay free.
