yabc – Yet Another Bedside Clock. This is a clock app that is designed to be run at the bedside or near a star map. It will display the time without turning off until the battery percentage drops below a user specified value. There are ten predefined, and one user defined display configurations. A single tap of the moon and star icon will bring up a red tinted clock showing the local sidereal time. In settings, you can add a moon display, change colors, and configure the user defined clock display.
