Global Clock Widget
under review

Description:
Introduce a clock/timer widget that can remain visible at all times, even in fullscreen mode. It should show global time-related settings such as session length, remaining time, or current clock.
Problem:
Currently, Loopy Pro’s clock is hidden behind a popup and not always visible during performance. This makes it difficult for users—especially live performers—to track elapsed or remaining time, and to manage their set intuitively.
Proposed Solution:
- Add a dedicated clock widget that can be placed anywhere on the canvas, including in fullscreen view.
- Allow the widget to show elapsed time, remaining set duration, or even device stats like battery level (similar to TouchOSC or iStat Menus).
- Provide customization options: font size, color, weight, individual per word or field.
- Include optional timer modes (countdown/up) and actions to start/stop/reset or multiply/divide the tempo via widget or MIDI.
- Optional: let the widget act as a text placeholder to display time contextually.
Benefits:
- Live performers can better monitor timing during sets without breaking flow or triggering popups.
- Enhances precision for users who rely on time-based transitions or set lengths.
- Useful for rehearsals, recording sessions, and live shows.
- Highly flexible as a customizable UI element for both aesthetic and practical use.

Loopy takes all the iPad screen available and that is good.
But that also means I can't see the time.
It would be cool to have a timer/clock widget where I can set the length of my live set and see it decrease or I can see the time and decide when to stop my performance.
Hopefully is not just me not wearing a watch and needing this ;)

+10000. Would be great to see how long the session has been recording for at the very least. Currently using a joggers stopwatch lol

Yes - this would be so useful for live set timing.

TouchOSC allows to display the time and battery status of your device. Cool would be if Loopy Pro would allow this as text placeholder or so to use an upcoming fullscreen mode. Maybe something like iStat Menus but for Loopy Pro. With individual font color/size/weight settings, ideally per each word individually.

Actions for all clock function please.

I need actions for multiply / divide the global tempo (e.g. x2.0, x1.5, x1.25, /3.0, /2.75...)
