About StandBy Clock & Photo Display

Put the phone on its charger and StandBy Clock keeps the screen on with a large, readable clock. More than 150 faces are organised into 13 categories: digital, analog, neon, nature, gradient art, geometric, ambient and cultural designs among them. Each one can be adjusted for font, color, size and layout, with toggles for seconds, the date and the battery level, so the same device can serve as a nightstand clock, a desk clock or a kitchen display.

The photo slideshow shows pictures from your gallery with the time layered on top, and you choose where the clock sits. A weather view adds current conditions, temperature, humidity and wind. Music controls, a timer with quick presets and a stopwatch are one tap away, so the display stays useful without unlocking the phone. Daily missions, weekly challenges, more than 60 achievements and 50 levels add a light layer of goals, and leveling up earns hours with every face plus locked faces to keep for good.

For the bedroom, night mode switches to dim, warm colors that do not light up the room, and burn-in prevention protects a screen that stays on for hours. Brightness is adjustable, both landscape and portrait orientations are supported, and the app is built to be battery-friendly while it keeps the screen on. Premium unlocks every clock face and removes ads, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Who it is for

Android users who want a spare phone or a tablet on a charger to work as a bedside clock, a desk display or a digital photo frame.
