Lumen Desk Clock on iPhone: the Aurora effect, with green curtains of light above the time 10:09 AM, and the date, the weather from Apple Weather and the battery level in the corners

A clock that moves with the minutes

Each effect redraws the time as it changes. Swipe to switch, or let Lumen rotate them for you.

🕰️Twelve living effectsCode Rain, Blocks, Aurora, Smoke, Ink, Ripples, Neon, Rain on Glass, Constellation, Flip, Monolith and Orbits. The first three are included; Unlock All adds the other nine.

🌙Easy on the room and the screenFrom 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. the clock dims gently, and a slow pixel shift moves it to a new spot every two minutes to protect OLED screens.
📱Portrait or landscapeFull screen, without the status bar, in any orientation. The screen stays on while Lumen is in the foreground and goes back to normal when you leave.

The story behind Lumen

An iPhone on a charging stand spends hours face up, doing nothing.

Lumen gives that screen a job: a full-screen clock you can read from the bed or across the desk, drawn by twelve animated effects — code that rains into digits, ink dropped into water, a neon tube that flickers back on at every minute, aluminum digits turning slowly under a studio light. Every new minute becomes a small event.

It is built for a screen that stays on for hours: a slow pixel shift, dimming at night, and a lower frame rate when the iPhone gets warm. No account, no ads. Made in Mexico by Christian Irack at Ingeniería.dev.

Lumen downloads at no cost and includes three effects — Code Rain, Blocks and Aurora — with every clock feature: the date, battery and weather corners, automatic rotation and night dimming.
