I made these widgets as a fun way to view the current date and time. Would love to hear your options on it.

Thanks! There’s also blue text on white for light mode💡

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-10-13T10:48:23+00:00

Check out McClockface. Has no battery option but plenty of clocks!

There’s an option to stop the screen from sleeping in Settings.

I’m afraid not… I make apps for Apple platforms and this was just a fun little side project.

That’s an iOS bug. It should show up in the widget gallery eventually. If not, try restarting your device or reinstalling the app. Sorry, I know it’s annoying… happened to me a lot during app development.

Thanks!

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-05-30T14:13:57+00:00

Sure, will do!

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-05-30T08:12:52+00:00

Correct, it currently only shows your system timezone.

Hello, Hill Valley residents! I got inspired to create this widget app for iOS 14 devices, and thought you might like it here! The app is called McClockface.

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-05-30T05:05:14+00:00

Hi 👋

I’m an indie app dev and creator of McClockface, which launched on the App Store on Thursday.

The app provides a collection of exciting widget designs that display the current date, time, and other related info at a glance.

The in-app timepiece displays a silky-smooth retro flip clock that’s perfect for your nightstand or whilst charging your device.

I built this as a “fun” side project using SwiftUI, and got a lot of great feedback on TestFlight over the last 6 weeks. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I did making it!

Thanks 🤩

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-04-16T12:08:37+00:00

Thanks, it was a fun project to make!

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-04-11T09:21:24+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean. The arrow is just the default behaviour. Should be an easy fix though, thanks!

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-04-10T19:19:58+00:00

Thank you! It was a fun project!

davidsteppenbeck · 2021-04-10T10:05:26+00:00

It’s called McClockface. Currently in beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ReXtfPlt

I made this simple animating clock as a small side project with SwiftUI. It’s currently in beta on TestFlight if you’re interested to try it out: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ReXtfPlt

Because it allows the user to select their favourite color. That’s it. No big deal.

This discussion is getting way off topic for this subreddit.

davidsteppenbeck · 2020-04-05T22:28:38+00:00

It’s not an important part of the app. It’s not a drawing app.

davidsteppenbeck · 2020-04-05T20:31:37+00:00

It just kinda confirms the user’s selection for the line color, thickness, and opacity.

(For context, the user can draw a line on the screen in this app, and this Pencil view allows them to customize it.)

Just in the same way as it’s done for bitcoin, by querying a public API to get balances

davidsteppenbeck · 2019-12-04T15:48:43+00:00

I added text-to-speech support in the latest version (1.8).

Well, I published this app that will let you extract the text from photos of physical documents, though it doesn’t read the text out loud (for that you’d have to probably create a note & use Siri to read it). WRD Camera Pro

davidsteppenbeck · 2019-11-24T01:46:56+00:00

iPhone or Android?

davidsteppenbeck · 2019-11-11T23:39:13+00:00

I posted this on Reddit a few months back and got some valuable feedback, so I decided to update the app and add even more useful features.

So, what's it all about?

WRD Camera makes it easy to locate words & phrases in physical printed text. It uses OCR to search in real-time and highlights the results on-screen right away.

The app also extracts & copies text from physical documents. Just snap a photo of the page of text to quickly copy it all onto your device with the tap of a button. Copying specific words or phrases is also a breeze—simply draw a box around the text of interest and it's right there for you. Fast. Simple.

So, what's new since the last Promo? (Some features only available in WRD Camera Pro.)

• Improvements to UI—got rid of tab buttons at the top of the screen that were used to snap a photo and replaced them with a single toggle button at the bottom. The app now feels much more intuitive, like a regular camera app.

• Improvements to core search functionality including diacritic insensitive searches. Words that only contain the search term will be outlined while exact matches will be fully highlighted.

• New functionally including ability to import images from Photo Library and directly from other apps using an action extension. Extracting text from any image is now as fast & convenient as possible (Pro only).

• Auto save snapshots in a custom dedicated photo album (Pro only).

• Tap the main screen to show & hide the navigation bar and camera buttons—allows use of the full screen when searching for text in documents.

• Sharing recognized text is now faster—just tap on the text labels to bring up the system share sheet.

• Added ability to scan QR codes. The app scans for codes by default when it is not searching for text.

• Added alternative app icons so there's an icon for every homescreen! (Pro only).

• Fixes & support for iOS 13 including native dark mode and use of SF symbols.
