Disappearing Bedside Clock for iOS: Control how fast the time fades away - Published on 06/04/14

Massachusetts-based Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC, has released Disappearing Bedside Clock 1.1 for iOS, an update to their popular nightstand clock app that excels at showing the current time and then nothing more. The time display disappears after an adjustable time interval, letting you (and the device) rest peacefully. Touch the screen to check the time, which will again disappear automatically. The update allows the default 2 second fade duration to be adjusted between 0 and 10 seconds.

Amherst, Massachusetts - Midnight Oil Enterprises, LLC has announced the release of Disappearing Bedside Clock 1.1 for iOS, an update to their nightstand clock app. Disappearing Bedside Clock keeps you in the dark - except when you want to know the time. The clock display disappears automatically after an adjustable time interval, letting you (and the device) rest peacefully. Touch the screen to check the time, which will again disappear after the adjustable duration interval. On iPhones in portrait orientation, you don't even have to touch the screen to see the time. Hold your hand near the display to activate the phone's proximity detector and the time display! Optional brightness dimming is also provided, which lowers the display backlight brightness once the clock has disappeared to produce an even darker display and lower power consumption.

"I replaced my bedside 30-pin clock radio with a lightning stand charger when I upgraded my iPhone to a 5s," says Midnight Oil Enterprises co-founder Dan Corkill. "I loved the darkness, but missed being able to quickly check the time during the night. After searching through the App Store for a bedside clock app that met my needs, I wrote this app as the ideal on-demand time solution. A wave of my hand is all I need to see the newly appearing time without my glasses. It's one app that I honestly use every day (at night)."
