android_packages_apps_DeskClock

Project Overview

This is an Android clock app forked from the LineageOS DeskClock, keeping the native alarm, clock, timer and stopwatch features while adding localization tweaks for Chinese users. The source is written in Java and can be built into an APK with Android Studio or the command line, then installed on Android 10 and above.

It rounds out alarm logic for local routines such as holidays, alternating weeks and shift rotations.

Key Features

• Enhanced alarms: skip ringing on public holidays on top of the native alarm
• Alternating weeks: set workday alarms that follow a big-week and small-week pattern
• Shift rotation: suit users on rotating or shift-based schedules
• Quick timer: a handier entry point and controls for the timer
• Localized UI: copy and display tuned for Chinese users

Target Audience

• Office workers who follow an alternating-week schedule
• People working rotating or shift-based jobs
• Users who want alarms to skip public holidays automatically
• Android users who prefer a clean, native clock experience

Quick Start

1. Download the latest APK from Releases and install it on your device
2. Open the app and set an alarm time on the alarm page
3. Choose alternating weeks, shift rotation or holiday skipping in the repeat options
4. Use the quick timer on the timer page for countdowns

Core Advantages

• Fits local routines: alarms follow holidays and shift changes, cutting manual edits
• Native feel: keeps the clean LineageOS clock style with a low learning curve
• Build it yourself: source and a Gradle project are provided for custom builds
