*F.A.Q:
Q: Will this drain my battery?
A: The background service is very light-weight in terms of RAM/CPU usage. Also, the clock is active (ticks) only when the user is interacting with the device and stops immediately when the screen goes off. Furthermore, the background service gets killed when the battery goes below a critical level (15%) and starts automatically when it regains some juice.
Q: Widget stops randomly
A: You need to white-list Epoch in any inbuilt/3rd party battery/memory optimizer. In some phones (Mostly non-stock) you also need to allow app AutoStart permissions.
Samsung: Settings->Security->AutoStart
Xiaomi: Settings->Permissions->AutoStart
Lenovo: Settings->Safe Center
Q: Widget stopped completely (not responding to clicks)
A: The widget uses background service to keep updating itself so if free RAM is low then system might kill it. Though once enough free RAM is available it will start automatically. You can always re-add the widget on the homescreen in order to force-start service.
This app does not require any device permissions.

It would be nice that if the widget was long-pressed, then a menu could popup where an item could be: [Paste in a 10-digit epoch #], and the results of that copied into the clipboard in the chosen format.
Provide option in App settings for touch action on widget. Touching the widget should copy either epoch or local time yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss. It should not copy everything. This will help users to paste current time in notes App etc.
Nice app. Minimal and fast. Thanks!
Needs a setting for transparent background so I can place it below my normal clock widget and not have it appear out of place.
This app is exactly what I was looking for! None of the other Unix time widgets worked on my Pixel, but this one does perfectly! The design is also great! Keep up the good work!
It's perfect, I like the simplicity and the minimalist design, it looks so smooth! But, I only ask for a hexadecimal feature to be added in, but it doesnt detract from my usage of the app. Overall, it's just what I was looking for.
