Clock Gallery

KOTOBA — THE TIME, IN A SINGLE SENTENCE.

CLOCK GALLERY

Prologue

For most of the day, the big screen in your living room is a black slab. Let it hold time instead.

Clock Gallery turns your Apple TV into beautiful clocks and today’s schedule. Railway clocks, flip clocks, stained glass, clocks set in classic paintings and storybooks — every drawn clock is made from scratch, so that every minute is a picture. From November, photo and film clocks of landscapes and animals from around the world arrive two at a time, every month.

Stained Glass Analogue

Your city’s sun casts colored light across the floor.

The colors of the glass stretch and shrink with the height and direction of the sun in your city, right now. At two in the afternoon, the light in winter is longer than in summer.

Only the essence, carried on.

Where a design is still protected, we kept only the idea and the heart of its beauty, and made a new clock.

A gallery that

Special days

Celebrate the world’s special days, together.

Halloween on October 31, Eleven Eleven at 11:11 on November 11, Christmas on December 25. On the days the whole world celebrates together, a clock made just for that day lets everyone in front of the screen celebrate together.

Masterpieces & Storybooks

Masterpieces and storybooks that tell time.

The time, set quietly inside public-domain paintings — change the work with the remote. Twelve storybook clocks turn their old illustrated pages as the time goes by.

Calendar

Today’s schedule, beside the clock.

Events from Google Calendar and iCloud Calendar, right next to the clock — a schedule in the one place you look all day when you work from home.

Read-only. Always.

Clock Gallery only reads your calendar. It never changes your events and never stores them on our servers — they stay on your Apple TV. See the Privacy Policy.

Follows the sun

Some clocks change their ground and light through the day with sunrise and sunset in your city. Kotoba drifts from “paper and ink” by day to “night and lamp” after sunset.

Glide your thumb on the Siri Remote and the clock tilts gently as light moves across it.

Always readable

Effects never hide the time for more than a moment — a rule every clock follows.

Timer
14

Koyomi clock
