A Flip Clock is an application designed specifically for Apple TV that transforms your television into a large, easily readable flip clock display. The primary purpose is to provide a clear time display that can be viewed from across the room, making it ideal for living spaces and rooms where you want an always-visible clock.

The app includes several key features designed for continuous display usage. It has anti-idle functionality turned on by default to keep the clock always visible. Pixel shift technology gently moves the image periodically to reduce static burn-in risk on OLED screens. Sound controls allow optional flip sounds and hourly announcements. Display options include showing seconds, displaying the date, and toggling between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

The application works by utilizing Apple TV's display capabilities to create a persistent clock interface. The unique approach includes built-in protection mechanisms specifically designed for modern television displays, particularly OLED screens that are susceptible to burn-in from static images. The pixel shifting occurs every few minutes to maintain display health while keeping the clock functional.

Benefits include having a large, readable clock display that doesn't require additional hardware. Use cases include using it as a living room clock, bedroom time display, or any space where you want an always-visible time reference without needing to check other devices. The app helps prevent screen burn-in while maintaining constant visibility.

The target users are Apple TV owners who want a large clock display for their television. The app integrates specifically with Apple TV and requires tvOS 18 or later. Technical details include the app size of 908.3 KB and compatibility exclusively with Apple TV devices running the specified operating system.
