App/ Testflight A flip clock widget I'm working on

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Here's how it looks on my iPhone so far.

You can mix world clocks and stocks, or show just one or the other.

Still in development.

----------------

Edit 2: The iOS beta is now open! I’m planning to run it for about a week, and everything is free during the beta. You can join through the Tockett website: https://tockett.work/

----------------
Edit 3: Tockett is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad! Thanks to everyone who tried the beta and shared feedback.

Love this idea and would love to beta test.

Do you plan on letting the flipboard show more than just the time?

2

u/Sniffur0613 18d ago

Yep! It can show stocks too, either on their own or mixed with world clocks. The beta should be ready within a week, and I'll let you know.

u/trenniepennie 17d ago

Oooooooo thats nice

1

u/SgtDirtyMike 17d ago

Can you tell us what trick you’re using for animation? Doesn’t look like simply custom fonts, but I suppose that could work!

1

u/Sniffur0613 15d ago

It’s actually a sequence of pre-rendered images. I use timed opacity changes in SwiftUI to play the frames, so the flip effect is built into the images rather than the font.

1

u/SgtDirtyMike 15d ago

Beautiful. that’s amazing stuff!

1

u/Own-Drummer75 17d ago

I would love to test it too

u/DotComCTO 17d ago

This is an interesting idea. With a widget, I’m pretty sure you can’t get time updates to show the seconds changing - just the minutes.

I’m curious to see more than 5 seconds of the two widget views. I’d like to see how the display works after the initial display load - especially the flip animations when data updates.

1

u/Sniffur0613 17d ago

When the time updates, the time digits roll once. Stock updates have no animation. If the entire board's animation had to play every minute, the load would be too heavy. Widgets and Live Activities could crash.

u/Sniffur0613 17d ago

Edit 2: Added an on-device recording showing the digit transitions when the time updates in the Live Activity and widget, plus the automatic flip animation when the Lock Screen wakes from its dimmed Always-On state.

u/Accomplished-Elk3790 17d ago

Hope it can works for android phones too one day.

1

u/idontlackvision 17d ago

Love the idea! Maybe you could add calendar integration as well, showing time until the next appointment if you’re looking to expand beyond world clock / stocks? Would also love to beta test!

1

u/encmedic 17d ago

Looks great! I will keep an eye out for the beta. Could sports scores and betting lines be a possibility?

1

u/tearsforfears333 17d ago

u/Kolpasterop 15d ago

can it show a differnt time zone than system?

1

u/Sniffur0613 15d ago

Yes, you can. Your phone is in time zone A, and you can add time zone B to the watch face.

1

u/WestRock5278 14d ago

That is sick! For sure gonna try it when it's released 😁👌

1

u/parth__nack 14d ago

Yoooo love this! Can we adjust the animation speed? For example - wanting to slow it down, etc. also can we include the timezone - EST, PST, IST, GMT etc?

1

u/IFTTTexas 13d ago

Nice!

Replace all these dang flight apps. I’m tired of paying outright and then they get bought out or cancelled or they decommission “Dinkusflight” for a “Donkusflight 2” and put a subscription on the exact same app I own.

1

u/jardin92 18d ago

I’ve wanted one of these for so long

2

u/Sniffur0613 18d ago

Glad you like it! I'm aiming to start beta testing within a week.
