What is a CLOCK file?

CLOCK files mostly belong to Clockology. A .CLOCK file is a file format primarily used by the Clockology app for creating and sharing custom watch faces for Apple devices, particularly Apple Watch. These files typically contain design elements, animations, and data configurations that define the appearance and behavior of the watch face. Inside, the .CLOCK file uses the plist (property list) format, a structured text format commonly used by Apple for storing configuration data. Clockology users can share these files, allowing others to easily install and use custom-designed watch faces.
