Floats over any app
Start the clock, switch to the shop, and it stays on top — powered by the system's Picture in Picture. Long-press to switch modes, drag it anywhere on screen.
For iPhone & iPad · iOS 18+
See every millisecond. On top of every app.
A pixel-style floating clock that stays visible over anything you do — synced with 42 official time sources, including the exact platform you are buying from, so you never miss the drop at 10:00:00.000.

Time Sync
Synced with the clock that decides the sale
Your phone's clock is not the platform's clock. FloatClock measures the offset against 42 time sources and corrects it live — NTP v4 where supported, HTTP Date headers everywhere else. The offset and network latency are shown right on the clock.

Features
Built for the moment it matters
Countdown to the exact moment
Count down to a specific time, or to every hourly and half-hourly session. A heads-up fires 1 or 3 seconds early, with sound, haptics, a progress bar and a last-second color flash.
Rehearse with flash-sale simulation
Practice your timing against real session rhythms before the actual drop, so on the day there is nothing left to chance.
Personalize
Your clock, your rules
Everything on the display can be tuned — then saved as a config copy and switched with one tap.
Milliseconds your way
Show 1, 2 or 3 decimal places and paint the milliseconds red — the format serious timing calls for.
Themes & pixel icons
Alternate pixel app icons and themes to match the look.
Date, composed
Year, month and weekday each toggle independently next to the time.
Config copies
Save a setup per platform — one for sneaker drops, one for tickets — and switch instantly.
Release memo + iCloud
Keep a todo list of upcoming releases, synced across your devices with iCloud.
Lock Screen & Dynamic Island
Live Activity and home-screen widgets keep the time where you need it.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How does the floating clock work?
It uses the system's Picture in Picture — the same capability that lets videos float over other apps. Start it in FloatClock, switch to any app, and the clock stays on top.
Does it work without a network?
Yes — the clock keeps running locally. Time-source syncing needs a connection, and the last measured offset keeps being applied.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to register and no login.
Are there ads or in-app purchases?
The app is ad-supported and offers a membership that removes ads. Everything about the clock itself works without it.
