Games and apps

An old phone or tablet does not have to sit in a drawer. Wall Clock turns it into a large home clock: stand it on a shelf or hang it on the wall, and the screen shows the time big enough to read from across the room. It is a quiet face for the kitchen, hallway, or desk — not an alarm app packed with extra features. Android 7 or newer is required.

Timer is for workouts when you need a big countdown on the whole screen, not a tiny stopwatch in the corner. Start a set or a rest interval and keep training at home, in the gym, or on a mat. Nothing extra — just a timer you can still see while you do push-ups or hold a plank. It runs on Android 7 and newer.

Brave Battle Boys is a mobile brawler you can play online or with no internet at all. Both online and offline have three modes: one-on-one duels, three-on-three team fights, and a free-for-all where everyone is on their own. Pick a mode, step onto the arena, and fight. If nobody is nearby, play offline; if you want real opponents, switch on online. Minimum Android version is 7.
