Ninety nine cents
well spent

I just stumbled across the coolest iPhone app: AboutTime by Chilli X. (This link will open the app page in iTunes.)

"Featuring beautifully rendered typography on a light parchment background," AboutTime tells you the time ... but in such an airy, nonchalant way!

At night, the type is reversed out of black:

As a bonus, you can flip the pages to read fun little quotes about time:

Beautiful typography. A leisurely, care-free attitude towards time. This app is right up my alley.
