I have an old iPod touch 4 (iOS 6.1.6), and I couldn't think of a useful way to use it in 2024. I wanted to turn it into a nice clock, but none of the apps from the AppStore would install. I couldn't find any working online clocks for this old iPod on any website.


The built-in 'Clock' app only shows small analog clocks that take up no more than 5% of the screen area. I couldn't install a jailbreak either.

But I found a solution. I simply turned on 'Settings/Accessibility/Zoom,' then launched the built-in 'Clock' app and enlarged the small clock to fill the entire screen.


Printing a stand on a 3D printer was not difficult. And now my desk is adorned with neat clocks that, moreover, synchronize over the internet :).
