Overview
These days most everyone struggles with information overload; we are all constantly bombarded with notifications and messages that distract us from what really matters. Glance is a smart clock that gives you the notifications that you actually need. Whether it be meeting alerts, fitness tracking, or a friendly reminder that your UBER has arrived—Glance is here to help you organize and enjoy your life!

 

Did You Know?

  • An average user picks up his phone more than 1,500 times each week.
  • Average owners use their phone for 3 hours and 16 minutes a day.
  • Many of us have become so reliant on our smartphones, we use them to carry out a staggering 221 tasks every day.

Glance saves you from procrastinating on your phone. It syncs with your iOS device and reminds you of important events, displays calls, and updates from fitness trackers and more. Glance helps you to keep your hands and mind off the phone and do the important stuff!

  • Stop Procrastinating
  • Start Doing
  • Stay Informed



 


Wondering how you can get Glance to bring you the right notifications just when you need them? It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…

1. Download the iOS app from App store

2. Connect your Glance to your phone or tablet

3. Choose Apps that you want to see on Glance 

It’s that simple!

 

See Your Day in Color

Connect your calendar to Glance and see your day’s schedule colorfully represented on the clock face. Get prompt reminders about meetings, traffic conditions, events from your mailbox, and important dates (e.g. your mom’s birthday).

Works with:

 

Never Miss A Call, Text Or UBER

During your busy day, Glance will gently alert you of incoming calls, texts, or UBER rides. This sleek device will even show you who is calling, and let you color-code your contacts so you can recognize who’s on the line—at a glance.

Works with:

 

Never Get Caught In The Rain

How many times have you left the house and later noticed those rain clouds rolling in? With Glance, you’ll never get caught in bad weather. Stay up to date on chances of rain and the temperature as your Glance displays weather updates throughout the day. 

 

Sync Glance With Smart Home And Amazon Alexa via IFTTT

If you have a smart home device, why not enhance its power? Glance is the perfect interface for visualizing the notifications and functions of your smart home device. For example, with Glance, you can give Amazon’s Alexa a face to match the voice. Ask Alexa a question and see the answer flash on your Glance.

 

Stay Connected To What Matters

Notifications can get tedious and annoying, to say the least. At the same time, however, staying connected is hugely important to modern life. Glance supports smart notifications from your favorite apps, reminders, ToDos and family events, so you control what notifications you get—staying connected to the things that matter most.

Works via IFTTT with:

 

Catch That Sunset, Wherever You Are

With Glance, you’ll never miss that gorgeous sunrise! No matter your schedule, Glance will wake you up just in time. You can set alarms to help you coordinate with people in different time zones, to see the sunset, or stay in tune with prayer times.

 

Create Your Own Features Via IFTTT, Stringify And Open APIs

Glance contains an amazing visual interface that can show you just about anything. However, if you can't find the feature you’re looking for, then you can create your own using open APIs. Add more value to Glance through IFTTT recipes and Stringify flows.

 

 

Glance is a beautiful piece of tech. But don’t be fooled, our team went through a number of iterations before we landed on this final design. And we must say, we are quite proud of the final product. It’s really amazing how Glance looks effortless on any wall, and feels totally sleek in your hands.


To make Glance, we combined natural materials, giving the clock a cozy quality. We wanted to make sure that Glance is soft to the touch, so we gave it a smooth back that flows into a cold aluminum frame, finally meeting with the fabric clock face.

When the lights go on they look like a small diamonds that make the clock magically amazing.
 

To add a little spark, we placed bright full-color LEDs behind the clock face. Even though they are hidden when the clock is switched off, as soon as a notification pops up, the clock faces shows beautiful and crisp graphics.

When a notification is ready, you can see it clearly in beautiful and bright colors. Doesn’t it look magical?

Here you can see the evolution of Glance very core. These PCBs might look the same, but the difference lies in the small details. We went through a number of significant changes and alterations before we got to our final version.


Final prototype assembly: in just a matter of minutes, these scattered parts come together as a beautiful piece of technology.

We worked hard to make the Glance display as bright and sharp as possible. Each prototype turned out much better than the previous one. 

 

 

General

HOW DOES GLANCE WORK?
Glance gets data from the cloud, where we do integrations with popular applications and smart devices. Using our App, you pick your favorite services and add information that you want to see displayed on your Glance. Day by day, Glance will analyze data and set up your personal profile. Based on this profile, Glance will determine what information should be displayed and when. You can also set up your own preferences for the information that you want to see on your Glance.

DOES IT HAVE A BATTERY?
Yes, Glance has a rechargeable battery and cable. The battery lasts for up to 3 months of operational time, it depends on how many notifications you set up. To avoid any charging issues, you can keep the clock plugged in, as it has a long and versatile charging cable.

DOES THE CLOCK TICK?
No, absolutely not! Glance is completely silent, thanks to the precise clock movement implemented in its construction.

HOW MANY GLANCE CLOCKS SHOULD I GET FOR MY HOME?
Glance can make your life at home or in the workplace much more efficient. You can get a clock for every room, or just a few to spread out here and there!

HOW EASY IS IT TO SET-UP GLANCE?
To set up Glance, you just need to download the app and choose your favorite apps to sync with the device.It’s so simple that even elderly people or kids can easily do it.

HOW CAN I CONTROL THE CLOCK?
The primary way of controlling Glance is with the companion app. The other option is to use voice control by connecting your Glance to Amazon Alexa via IFTTT service.

HOW CAN I SELECT THE COLOR?
There are 2 color options: modern Silver and elegant Graphite. You will have a chance to select the color of your choice during the ordering process. If we reach our stretch goal, then we might add a premium color, Copper.

DO YOU OFFER DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ON THE CLOCK?
You can set up different languages, as long as they have the same alphabet as English. The display does not support Chinese or Japanese characters at this time.

Notifications

HOW DOES IT WORK WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE CONNECT TO ONE GLANCE?

CAN IT READ CERTAIN THINGS OUT LOUD?
No, not at the moment.
