Fuzzy Clock for Android, iPhone and iPad

Hot on the heels on my Roman Clock is Fuzzy Clock - a clock that tells you roughly the right time. Because…

Here’s a link to the Apple store to read the nonsense I’ve written about it.

I see that this is available for visionOS: did you manage to leverage LiveCode to build a visionOS app?

If so, that's extremely impressive.

I’d like to say yes, but the truth is that the app is just compatible with visionOS. A lot of iOS apps are or can be, it’s just a case of them passing apples checks.

Nice and I can confirm it works perfectly on MacOS too, even though it states "Not verified for MacOS"
I'm spoiled for clocks all of a sudden lol.

I'm not sure if it's possible with LiveCode, but would be amazing if this could provide screen widgets for iOS and/or MacOS. it would replace the clock widget in a heartbeat!

Ah yes, now it’s on the App Store I need to tick the box to say it’s macOS compatible. I’ll do that tomorrow probably.

I’m hoping to find a way to create the widgets for both the clock apps. I posted a thread on the iOS deployment platform here to see if anyone’s had any experience in this area (still waiting for responses at the moment). According to Apple the widget is an extension of the app so maybe it’s possible with LC. It would be nice to think it was.

Sorry you’re all clocked out, and thanks for purchasing (again ). Rest assured my next app will be different. I don’t know what it will be yet, but it’s definitely not going to be a clock.

Is there a way to completely hide the actual time in Fuzzy Clock? While the charm of the app seems to be its imprecise nature, I still want a way to glance at the exact time discreetly without needing to switch to another app.

[j9v6]

Erm, no there isn’t…

I suppose I could add a touch option on the time message so that it displays the actual time for a few seconds when you tap it. But wouldn’t that spoil the fun of having fuzzy time messages?

While we’re talking of updates, the next version will have a 3rd level of fuzziness. Exciting stuff!
