Hi all, our new app Screen Clock for Apple TV is available for Download 🙂
Analog Clock, Black and White themes, Simple control. We are looking for the feedback!

P. S. Feel free to send request to feedback@screenclock.tv, we have some Redeem codes for the app!


How to Install
Apple TV does not support direct links at the moment, so the only way to find the app is through Search on device:
  • Run Apple TV Search
  • Type Screen Clock
  • Find the title, open its page, download and enjoy!

Looks good. Only advice: I'd recommend having some kind of mechanism for making sure users don't get screen burn on their TVs. Apple solve this by having the artwork and track names etc flip every so often.

Thanks! We will solve it.
 
Love the look of the black face clock that you posted the picture of. Couple of questions. Any chance it can run as a screen saver? I'm assuming not. Is there anything to help prevent burn in? I'm running a plasma.

Also, how about a watch face of it? I'd grab that in a second.

1. Screen Clock has 2 faces now, but we are planing to add more.
2. Nothing to prevent yet.
3. See 1 🙂

Can/do clock apps for Apple TV have an alarm feature and if so, can they be running in the background while another app is being used, such as Apple Music? Alternatively, is there an alarm built into TVOS itself?

This is very important for me as the device I leave as active input on my AV Receiver overnight for playing music to fall asleep to MUST be able to serve as my backup alarm. Currently this is my Macbook, which goes to sleep at some point during the night after the playlist has finished and then wakes itself up from sleep 5 minutes before the backup alarm is supposed to ring.

Notifications (alarms) are not currently supported on tvOS.
