HelioFrame: Clock & Weather

Turn old devices into always-on clock & weather displays

Give your old device a second life

HelioFrame transforms your Android phone or tablet into a beautiful always-on display showing time, weather, and daylight information.

Perfect for repurposing old devices as bedside clocks, desk displays, or wall-mounted screens.

All essential information at a glance

• Large, clear clock and date
• Sunrise, sunset, and day length
• Current weather conditions
• Short-term forecast for the next 24 hours (3–6 hour intervals)

Everything is designed to be readable from a distance, even across the room.

Always-on, truly hands-free

HelioFrame is built for continuous display:

• Starts automatically when the device turns on
• Keeps the screen active while charging
• Fullscreen immersive mode
• Supports both portrait and landscape orientations

Just plug in your device, place it where you need it, and let it run.

Adapts to day and night

The interface automatically adjusts to match the time of day:

• Bright and clear visuals during the day
• Dim, comfortable display at night
• Backgrounds that reflect real-world conditions

Designed to look natural in any environment.

Clean design, built to last

• Minimal, distraction-free interface
• Optimized for long-running sessions
• Works on Android 5.0+ (API 21 and above)

HelioFrame is stable, lightweight, and designed for continuous use.

Privacy-focused by design

HelioFrame does not require accounts and does not store personal data on external servers.

• Location is used only to provide accurate weather and sunrise/sunset data
• Approximate location may be determined via device location or IP-based methods
• Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are used to improve performance and stability
• All data is transmitted securely via HTTPS
• You can delete all data at any time by clearing app data or uninstalling the app

Simple. Calm. Always visible.

HelioFrame is designed to quietly stay in the background while providing the information you need, exactly when you need it.
