Releasing 'Daitai Clock', a Clock App That Displays Only the 'Approximate' Time
CAEN Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Omori) has released "Daitai Clock", a unique clock app that displays only an "approximate" time rather than exact time, today for iOS and Android.
■ About "Daitai Clock"
"Daitai Clock" is a simple clock app that displays only a rough sense of time — for example, "just past 2:30." It was developed as a new tool for living a relaxed life, free from being ruled by exact time, in a modern society where we are constantly bound by the clock.
■ Background of development
CEO Omori is a former web designer, and as advances in AI technology lowered the barriers to engineering, he wanted to create "an app that is as minimal as possible while offering new value." To propose a more relaxed way of spending time — liberated from the rushed pace of daily life — he developed Daitai Clock.
■ Key features
Approximate time display: Shows time as an intuitive expression rather than precise numbers.
Simple design: Displays only the minimum necessary information, prioritizing ease of use.
Dark mode support: Can be switched to a gentler display for the eyes.
No ads: Provides a comfortable experience with absolutely no advertisements.
■ Situations where it shines
On a day off with no plans: When you want to relax without worrying about exact time.
While studying for exams: When you want to avoid the anxiety that comes from checking the time too often.
During meditation or yoga: When you need mental relaxation.
During reading or hobbies: When you want to lose yourself and focus deeply.
■ Time display examples
13:00–13:15: Around just past 1 PM

■ Message from CEO Omori
In a modern society that relentlessly pursues precision, perhaps embracing the ambiguity of "approximate" can reveal a new way of experiencing time. Through Daitai Clock, I hope to propose a more relaxed lifestyle — one where we walk alongside time rather than being chased by it.
