Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run night talking clock, an app by rausNT, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
Night talking clock feels like a simple bedside display that just gets out of the way. Put the phone on a charger and the clock pops on, take it off and it shuts itself down. It acts like a little docking clock, only smarter. Tap the screen or wave a hand over it and it speaks the current time, which is great when eyes are half closed. It also tells how much sleep is left until the alarm, in plain words, and shows basic weather stuff like temperature and precipitation so there is no guessing about a jacket. There is an optional speed readout if someone is in a car, plus chimes that can ring every 15 minutes, half hour, or hour, with choices like the Moscow Kremlin, Big Ben, or even Jingle Bells.
The extra touches help at night. There are background sounds for a light sleep, white noise, sea waves, light rain and a few others. Brightness can dim itself in the evening and gently ramp up before dawn, which is easier on the eyes. Everything lives in a clear menu, look for the blue gear and switch on what is needed. On PC through BlueStacks, it basically becomes a big clean nightstand clock window. Clicking the screen triggers the voice time fine, and it works nicely on a secondary monitor. Some phone sensor tricks may not apply on desktop, but the core clock, weather, chimes, and sleep sounds still do their job without fuss.
Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
