Description

XKCDTock shows a random xkcd comic on your Pebble Time 2 and swaps it for another every so often. The comics stream from xkcd.com.

Multi-panel comics are split so each panel fills the screen. Tap to step through them, then once more for the alt (hover) text — the extra joke Randall hides beneath each comic. Tap past it to flip back to the clock.

 You set it up from the phone:
 • Random, latest, in order, or one specific comic pinned
 • How often it changes — a minute to an hour (less often uses less battery)
 • Tap to advance, play through on a tap, or auto-cycle the panels
 • Reserved-band or analog clock; clock size, 12- or 24-hour, date, and temperature (°C/°F)
 • Setting for Skip oversized comics that shrink to nothing on a watch
 • Pause new comics during quiet time or while you are asleep

The phone does the fetching, decoding and dithering; the watch just shows the result. If your phone is out of range it keeps the last comic until it's back.
