CrownMinute turns clock-checking into English history
An offline Android widget maps the time on your phone to a year of English history, with 605 events and optional Life in the UK test practice.
- For
- Android users and Life in the UK applicants
- Worth noticing
- The final pre-midnight window is reserved for BCE events, after evening slots cover years that cannot be written as clock times.
Field notes
The widget assigns each minute to a year: most times read directly (17:07 becomes 1707), while late-evening slots cover years such as 1066 that cannot be written as clock times; the final pre-midnight window is reserved for BCE events. A tap opens an event story, and the page says its 605 entries include explanations of why events mattered and sources. The history widget is presented as free, offline, and account-free; test-prep quizzes and related features sit in the one-time-purchase Premium tier.
