What’s new
Version 1.17 · Updated October 21, 2026
New in 1.17 • Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen: Time Together, Daylight, Word Clock, Card Clock, Tube Clock, Countdown, Green Room, Moon Phase and Horizon. Most also work in StandBy. • Play a day: tap ▶ on a widget to watch the next 24 hours go by in about 25 seconds. • Countdown: days and hours to a date you pick, on paper flip cards. • Six new backgrounds: Prism, Stone, Shadow, Tube Clock, Card Clock and Green Room, a living room whose light follows the sun. Also improved: • Analog clock widgets follow the real sunrise and sunset, read the time aloud in VoiceOver, and Halo and Shadow can show seconds. • Longer battery life overnight: animated backgrounds slow down at night and use less memory. • The seconds hand on Halo and Shadow no longer freezes.
