Fibonacc iClock is a fibonacci clock implementation for iOS. This project is based off of Thiago Sá's implementation of Philippe Chrétien's fibonacci lamp. The graphics and exact minute display method in particular come from Mr.Sá so a huge thanks to him! Creating iOS app and design of the internal algorithms was done by scribblemaniac.
The squares are a graphical representation of a fibonacci sequence. Looking at the colors in each square and doing a few simple math operations, you can determine the time within a minute precision. A excellent blog post detailing the exact method to use can be found here.
