I just use the stock clock app on GrapheneOS ๐. Its not pretty, but it works. The two below both look pretty good, maybe its time for me to reevaluate what I'm using.

I had issues with chrono on graphene, I wanted it to work so bad, but it kept getting stuck on start splash screen and even when you close, force close, clear cache, clear data, and reboot phone, it wouldn't work only after deleting and reinstalling. Also alarms were being 5-20 minutes late, often, depsite doing everything to keep app alive.
I use fossify clock currently, haven't had an issue.
I like Chrono. Current version does seem kinda buggy, though.

It does the job
No idea why GrapheneOS doesnt use the very nice and modern LineageOS apps. They are just AOSP with minimal additions.
Maybe it is some stupid license incompatibility as they want to keep the option to lock the OS down or something...
Using stock LineageOS apps on other systems doesnt work as they have wrong IDs and might have permission issues
That seems like a possibility. Yeah, LineageOS has some great stock apps, I wish they were more possible outside the OS itself.
Someone can softfork them, change the App IDs to
org.lineageos.xand release apks.I started doing that a while back, but Android dev is complicated.
