This manual describes the reviewed project; the version available on Google Play may differ.

Find your way around the four tabs and test your first alert.

## Four tabs, five uses

Clock brings together Alarm, Clock, Timer and Stopwatch. The Clock tab contains both local time and world time. You do not need an account to get started.

The app is available in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. Its language follows Android settings; this website's language picker changes only the manual.


## Run a first test

1. Open Alarm and tap +. Set a time a few minutes ahead and enter a recognisable name.
2. Check the days, alert type, tone and volume. Tap Save and grant the alarm access Android requests.
3. Check that the switch is on and review the next alarm. Lock the phone and wait for the alert.
4. Hold Turn off until the circle completes. If the alert does not appear or sound, check the permissions and troubleshooting guides.

## What you need

Clock requires Android 7.0 or later. Alarm and timer alerts depend on device permissions and power settings. Light detection, flash and shaking the phone require the relevant hardware.

Data are stored on the device. The app does not need Internet for its five functions. Sharing results or opening links uses the external application you choose.
