Nightstand Central – Music Alarm Clock with Weather, Sleep Timer, and Flashlight

Thomas Huntington



Genre: Productivity



Price: $2.99



Release Date: December 22, 2009


Awards:
-Named "Best Alarm Clock App for iPhone" by Lifehacker.com
-An Apple Staff Favorite
-Featured by the New York Times, CNN, Business Insider, AppAdvice.com, and many other publications.



With music alarms, a built-in sleep timer, weather info, customizable photo backgrounds, and even an included shake-on / shake-off flashlight, Nightstand Central turns your iPhone or iPod touch into the ultimate bedside hub.

Wake up to your favorite tunes and drift into sleep a little easier with an included sleep timer that lets you play everything from music playlists to relaxing sounds to audio books or podcasts. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, just shake to toggle the included flashlight, and shake again to turn it off. And when you wake up, see the current weather conditions before you even get out of bed.

Nightstand Central is equally at home away from the bedside, as well. Set your iDevice on your desk or coffee table and use it as a beautiful photo frame with heads-up time and weather information. It's the perfect use for an older iPhone or iPod touch that doesn't see as much action as it used to, as well!

Almost everything about Nightstand Central can be tweaked to fit your personality, for example:
-Pick wallpapers from your Photo Album and Nightstand Central will automatically cycle the background image among these how ever often you'd like. You can mix and match your own photos and any of the gorgeous included wallpapers, as well.
-Set up different music alarm playlists for different days. You can even make your alarm gently fade in or vibrate – it's all up to you.
-Configure the clock / weather HUD to make it bigger, smaller, centered, or move it off to one side or the other, whatever suits your fancy

Throw away your boring, standalone alarm clock, and replace it with your iPhone or iPod touch and Nightstand Central.

Complete Features:

★ Clock and Weather ★
-Automatic Vertical and Horizontal modes
-Customizable auto-lock time. If your device is running on battery, you can set it to sleep earlier than if it is plugged in, or not.
-Adjustable brightness: Slide your finger up or down to change.
-12 or 24 hour time format
-Show / Hide seconds
-Current and accurate weather conditions, updated however often you'd like, for almost anywhere in the world.

★ Multiple alarms ★
-Use your own songs or playlists, one of ten built in alarm sounds, or even podcasts or audio books
-Support for multiple alarms – set up different times for different days.
-Adjustable snooze time
-Repeat alarms on certain days of the week
-Adjustable alarm volume and silent option
-Set your iPhone to vibrate during an alarm, either with sound or only vibration
-Fade in music or sound – wake up more gently
-Alarm works even if device is sleeping or screen is locked
-With iOS 4, you'll receive alarm notifications (with sound) even if you forget to start Nightstand Central

★ Unique Sleep Timer ★
-Fall asleep to your favorite music, relaxing sounds, podcasts and audio books, and Nightstand Central will automatically pause the playback after the time interval that you've set. If you have any alarms set for the next day, sleep soundly as they'll still go off right on schedule.

★ Convenient Flashlight ★
-Shake your iPhone or iPod touch to toggle an included flashlight. Uses the iPhone 4's LED flash (be aware that extended use of your device's flash may drain its battery) or your device's screen if no flash is available.

★ Wallpaper and display ★
-Multiple wallpaper support: If you’d like, select more than one photo to use as wallpaper, and let Nightstand Central automatically cycle through them however often you choose.
-Choose from over 20 gorgeous included wallpapers, or select several of your own to use.
-Easily customize the position of the clock / weather display

Gossip Girl #1: A Novel by Cecily von Ziegesar
Poppy
October 1, 2003

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side where my friends and I live, and go to school, and play, and sleep- sometimes with each other. We all live in huge apartments with our own bedrooms and bathrooms and phone lines. We're smart, we've inherited classic good looks, we have fantastic clothes, and we know how to party…

Introducing Gossip Girl, a wickedly funny and risqué #1 New York Times bestselling series about the provocative lives of New York City's most prestigious private school young adults. Gossip Girl herself is an anonymous narrator with the ultimate insider scoop on the inner-workings of this privileged society because she's one of them. Sharp wit, intriguing characters, and high stakes melodrama drive the action of this addictive novel that will make Gossip Girl the lit world's new "it" girl.

In Gossip Girl, when the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen returns to private school after mysteriously getting kicked out of boarding school, the whole school is talking. All Blair Waldorf knows is that there's no freaking way Serena's going to just waltz back in with her Jimmy Choo mules and Kate Spade bag and steal everyone's heart again. But Serena's got other things on her mind, like college pressure and living up to everyone else's extreme expectations.

About the Author
Gossip Girl has always lived in New York City. She can be found in downtown hotel bars partying all night with her friends, shopping in Barney's, and talking about everyone. This is her first novel, although she's written lots of things about lots of people. Some of her best columns can be found at www.gossipgirl.com. She's already working on her next book, so be careful what you do or say and who you're seen with.
