Request: Always Show Small Clock on Lock Screen

Author: tentmentCreated Sep 12, 2026Updated Sep 12, 2026

Problem: On iOS 26, I noticed that the Lock Screen clock sometimes automatically becomes smaller when Spotify is playing. This looks similar to the smaller clock style introduced in iOS 27.

Is it possible to add a Nugget tweak that forces the Lock Screen clock to always use the smaller size, regardless of whether Spotify or another media app is playing?

  • Add an option to force the small Lock Screen clock
  • Keep the small clock active even when no media is playing
  • Make it work on iOS 26.2+
  • Ideally allow switching between the normal and small clock

This would make it possible to use the smaller iOS 27-style clock on iOS 26 without updating to iOS 27.

Thank you!
