Tokei
I wanted a clock with a minimalist design that only told me the time, date and day. Removed everything else. Also wanted a clock that “pushes” me through the hour. If you don’t need an exact time, Tokei will approximate it for you.
The numbers rise every hour and every minute.
For hours, 00 at the bottom and 23 right at the top.
For minutes, 00 at the bottom and 59 right at the top.
I’m not a big fan of “Mon”, “Tues” etc. So I decided to use Japanese kanji to display the day of the week. I’m sorry, but you *have* to learn a little Japanese.
月 (Moon, getsu) Monday
火 (Fire, ka) Tuesday
水 (Water, sui) Wednesday
木 (Wood, moku) Thursday
金 (Gold, kin) Friday
土 (Earth, do) Saturday
日 (Sun, nichi) Sunday
To help you remember, let me tell you a story my Japanese teacher told me many moons ago.
You are getsu-ing ready to leave.
You drive your ka-r to law school.
Today, you will learn the process of sui-ng someone.
You make a mistake, your friends are moku-ing you.
But you are kin to get it right.
So you do it again.
And you found your nichi as a future lawyer.
I don’t know where he got it from, but it sure helped me remember my days in Japanese! ^^. Enjoy!
ps. Didn’t show here, but it does landscape mode too. I just like it in the dock.
Update: (What’s new in version 1.1)
1) Double tap to cycle through all the modes until you get to the new “Kanji” display mode. Who said reading the time in 漢字 was difficult? ^^.
2) Also added in a battery indicator. Green light shows more than 60% change. Yellow for between 30-60% and red for under 30% charge. When connected, nothing shows.
Have fun reading the time in Kanji ^^.
