Clockology Updates 3.4.3 & 3.4.4: Golden Hours, Solar Dials, and My New Favorite Feature!

Clockology just keeps getting better. Every update feels like unwrapping a surprise gift, and the last two updates (3.4.3 and 3.4.4) are packed with features that make customizing watch faces and widgets even more fun, useful, and honestly… addictive.

Let’s break it down and get into why these updates are a total game-changer.


Solar Dials & Golden Hour Magic 🌅

If you’re a photographer, creator, or just someone who loves catching that perfect sunset glow, you’re going to flip over version 3.4.4. Clockology Plus subscribers now get Golden Hour and Solar Dial calculations built right into the weather layer.

That means you can literally glance at your watch or widget and know the best time for photos — no extra apps, no guesswork. Morning golden hour? Evening golden hour? Now you’ll always know when the light is chef’s kiss perfect.

Here’s what’s new in 3.4.4:

  • A weather layer type that shows golden hour and morning hour times (super useful for photography lovers).

  • Another weather type that shows the actual time ranges of golden hours.

  • A brand-new Solar Dial option in the weather layer that visually maps out golden hour ranges. It looks slick and works beautifully in complications and widgets.

  • And of course, an important bug fix for renaming layers in iOS 26.

I love when a feature isn’t just cool, but also practical. The golden hour tools make Clockology more than a customization app — it’s becoming a daily life companion.


Ultra Watch Love & Smarter Shortcuts ⌚

Version 3.4.3 dropped just a week earlier, and it set the stage with some seriously powerful updates:

  • Compatibility with the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 screens and iOS 26’s updated buttons and navigation.

  • A brand-new app shortcut that lets you open recent designs in a slideshow. Even better: you can hook this into Shortcuts automations, so your favorite designs display automatically while your phone is charging. (More on this in a second because I am OBSESSED.)

  • A cleaner popup that explains the charging shortcut when previewing fullscreen images.

  • Ultra watch designs now look even sharper in thumbnails.

  • New home view layouts that let you choose inline or large thumbnails for browsing.

  • Tons of bug fixes.


My Favorite Feature: Full-Screen Designs While Charging ⚡

Okay, this one deserves its own spotlight. The new shortcut that displays your Clockology designs in full screen while your iPhone is charging and unlocked is easily one of my favorite features ever.

Here’s why:

  • When you dock your phone on your desk, nightstand, or car, it becomes a living, glowing Clockology screen.

  • You can finally showcase your custom designs as a bold fullscreen clock, widget, or slideshow.

  • It pairs perfectly with iOS’s smart charging display options, which already let you show widgets in landscape mode.

Add to that the brand-new CarPlay compatibility, and suddenly Clockology isn’t just about your watch anymore — it’s about creating a seamless experience across all your Apple devices. Whether it’s your wrist, your phone on a charger, or your car’s dashboard, Clockology makes your world look incredibly customized.

Honestly, it feels like the app is becoming an ecosystem of its own.


Why This Matters

Clockology has always been about pushing the limits of personalization. But now, with golden hour tools, slideshow charging displays, Ultra 3 support, and CarPlay, it’s stepping into a new level of usefulness.

It’s not just about making your Apple Watch look unique — it’s about making your entire Apple experience more yours.

As someone who lives for personalization (and maybe checks my watch faces way too often), these updates have me seriously hyped. I’ve already set up a charging dock slideshow, tested golden hour times for photos, and made my Ultra screen layouts feel more alive than ever.


Final Thoughts

Clockology 3.4.3 and 3.4.4 prove that the app isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Instead, it’s expanding into areas I didn’t even know I needed but now can’t live without.

Solar Dials. Golden Hours. Fullscreen charging displays. CarPlay widgets. Ultra 3 support.

Put all that together, and it’s clear: Clockology isn’t just my favorite watch customization app — it’s becoming one of my favorite apps on iOS, period.

If you haven’t tried these new features yet, go update, plug in your phone, set up that fullscreen slideshow, and thank me later. You’re going to love it.
