WorldWordTime

WorldWordTime is a word clock widget for your home screen. Instead of another row of digits, it writes the time the way you would say it out loud: twenty past nine, quarter to six, half past ten.

The phrase updates every five minutes and is meant to be read at a glance, without the small print of a digital clock.

A TEXT CLOCK YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN

Every widget is configured on its own, so a large one on your main screen and a small one somewhere else can look nothing alike:

• Two phrase styles — relative ("quarter to six") or direct ("five forty five")
• Eight fonts: Sans, Serif, Monospace, Condensed, Pacifico, Anton, Courier Prime, Caveat
• Any text colour and background colour, from the swatches or an exact #RRGGBB value
• Background transparency, so the clock widget can sit invisibly on your wallpaper
• Adjustable text size
• An optional name per widget, handy once you run more than one

Tap the widget, or the small gear in its corner, to open its settings at any time.

MINIMAL, AND QUIET ABOUT IT

• No ads and no in-app purchases
• No account and no sign-in
• No internet permission at all — the app cannot send anything anywhere
• Nothing is collected, stored remotely or shared
• Updates once every five minutes, so battery use stays negligible
• Follows your system light and dark theme, with Material You colours on Android 12+

Resize the widget very small and it switches to a compact numeric layout, so it stays readable in a tight corner of the home screen.

Requires Android 8.0 or later.
