Tactile Clock
This Android app vibrates the current time when the display is locked and you double-click the power button of your device.How it worksDouble-click the power button. This might take some practice to work reliably. Press slowly and deliberately. If you double-click too fast the system only recognizes a single click and turns the screen on instead.The time vibration is structured as follows:A short vibration stands for the digit 1 and a long one for the digit 5. The 2 is represented by two consecutive short vibrations, the 6 by a long and a short one and so on. The 0 constitutes an exception with two long vibrations.Examples:01:18 = . . -...02:51 = .. - .10:11 = . -- . .19:06 = . -.... -.Explanation:The time is processed digit by digit:. = short vibration- = long vibrationLeading zeros in the hour and minute fields are omitted.Gaps:To simplify the recognition of the vibration pattern, there exist three kind of gaps with different durations:[]: A short gap between vibrations in the same digit[ ]: A medium gap for the separation of two digits within the hour and minute field[ ]: A long gap to split hours and minutesAdditional featuresKeep informed about the current time. The app can vibrate the current time automatically every X minutes or every hour.Play the Greenwich Time Signal at the start of each hour, similar to a radio station.Tasker integration: If your smartphone has an additional hardware button that is supported by Tasker, you can configure it to vibrate the time.
