About StandBy Hub: Nightstand & Home
StandBy Hub turns your iPhone's StandBy mode into a real nightstand display. Clocks, calendar, weather, countdowns and more — on their own or combined into a custom dashboard. For StandBy (iPhone on its side while charging) and the Home Screen — in small, medium, large and extra large portrait (4 × 6) on iOS 27. Six widgets also work on the Lock Screen. ELEVEN WIDGETS • Clock — digital, analog, pixel art, flip clock, binary • Calendar — your next events, in five views • Weather — temperature with the daily high and low • Battery — charge level in six styles: percent, ring, glyph, segments, level, column • Moon Phase — the current phase, in real time • Countdown — the days until, or the days since • Water — tap the glasses right in the widget, in nine shapes • Mood — one tap a day, with history and streak, in eight styles • Year Progress — eight styles: bar, percent, ring, dots, months, level, column, days left • Photo — your own images • Dashboard — several of the above in a single widget NINE CLOCKS Pick the style that fits you: • Digital — Clean, modern, easy to read • Analog — Timeless round clock face • Pixel Art — 12 playful scenes, free • Stacked — Hour over minute, readable across the room • Flip Clock — Retro split-flap charm (Pro) • Binary — For the geeks among us (Pro) • Word Clock — the time as a sentence in a letter grid (Pro) • Dot Matrix — dot-matrix face like a travel clock (Pro) • Ticker — scrolling band with a progress bar (Pro) CALENDAR — FIVE VIEWS • Date Block — tear-off date on the left, agenda on the right (free) • Agenda — time column and titles, grouped by day (free) • Timeline — vertical time axis with a colored dot per event (Pro) • Up Next — the next event up front, plus relative time (Pro) • Cards — each event as a card in its calendar color (Pro) COUNTDOWN Count down the days to the big moment — or count up the days since. • Events with date and time • "Days since" mode for anniversaries • Yearly repeat for birthdays & holidays • Live timer on the final day, down to the second • Nine styles: number, units (d/h/min), ring and dots free — tally, hero, triple ring, timeline and stamp (Pro) • Multiple events with their own background and color (Pro) SMART DASHBOARD Why settle for one widget? Combine clock, calendar, weather, battery, moon phase, photo, countdown, year progress, water and mood into a single one — up to 6 tiles, up to 10 on extra large portrait and up to 8 on iPad. • Live builder with drag-and-drop reordering • Save your favorite layouts • Custom design per slot (Pro) • Water and mood stay tappable as tiles (Pro) THIRTEEN FONTS System, Space Grotesk, Fredoka and Orbitron are free. Pro adds Cinzel, Fraunces, Silkscreen, DotGothic16, Monoton, Bungee, Kanit, Sixtyfour and Codystar — from travel-clock dot matrix to neon tube. The font is set per widget, not app-wide. STANDBY PREVIEW Try any widget right inside the app in a landscape nightstand preview — including night mode. MAKE IT YOURS • 47 backgrounds in seven families: gradients, animated effects, calm, mesh, texture, craft and 12 pixel scenes — 21 of them free, plus a custom color and your own image • Per-widget accent colors (Pro) • Colors that shift with the time of day (Pro) • Light & dark theme • English, German & Spanish • Celsius or Fahrenheit PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION One purchase unlocks everything: every clock style, every countdown style, the three Pro calendar views, the nine Pro fonts, all backgrounds, the battery styles, custom slot designs, time-of-day colors and as many widgets per type as you like. Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription, no renewal. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your events, moods and photos stay on the device — only the coordinates go to Open-Meteo for the weather. Requires iOS 17 or later.
