TickTock Clock

A mechanical clock for a room that does not have one. TickTock Clock ticks every second, marks the quarters, and strikes the hour — twelve strikes at noon, one at one o'clock, the way a real case clock does. Leave it running in the background and the room keeps time. 38 CLOCKS AND WATCHES Every sound is a complete instrument: its own tick, its own tock, its own quarter mark and hour chime. Browse them by family and switch at any time — a running clock changes over on the very next beat. - Wall Clock (18) — Vienna regulator, Black Forest cuckoo, Comtoise Morbier, Westminster tower and rods, Whittington rods, schoolhouse oak, banjo timepiece, Japanese pillar, railway platform escapement and more - Wrist Watch (11) — minute repeaters in gold, silver, platinum, bronze and titanium, a Westminster carillon repeater, high-beat flutter, chronograph rotor - Ritual (4) — Prague Orloj, Zen temple, incense clock, ship's watch bell - Pocket Watch (2) — Georgian fusée, lever pocket - Focus (2) — air motion, brown noise CHIMES ON YOUR TERMS Quarter marks and the hour chime each have their own switch, globally and per sound. Keep the ticking and silence the chimes, or run a clock that only speaks on the hour. QUIET AT NIGHT The chimes stay silent between ten at night and seven in the morning, so an overnight clock does not strike twelve at midnight. One switch turns that off if you want the full night watch. BUILT TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND The clock keeps ticking while you use other apps or the screen is off, with a notification carrying a stop button. An optional floating button puts the clock one tap away from wherever you are. The tick is driven by a low-latency audio path rather than a media player, because a clock that drifts is not a clock. The beat runs off the main thread so an animating screen cannot make it skip. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO INTERNET The app requests no internet permission at all. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, no account is needed, and every sound is bundled with the app. It works the same in aeroplane mode. ABOUT THE SOUNDS Every clock sound in this app is AI-generated. None of them are recordings of real clocks, including the presets named after specific instruments.
