The Material 3 Expressive Redesign Of Google Clock Leaks Out [Gallery]

Ahead of Material 3 Expressive’s debut at I/O 2025 later this month, a redesign of the Google Clock app has emerged.

According to screenshots shared by Mystic Leaks (who previously provided a look at Android 16) today, the changes start with the bottom bar and what looks to be a narrower pill-shaped indicator. Each of the tab icons have been ever so slightly tweaked with more detail, while “Clock” has been renamed to “World Clock,” and it’s now “Alarms” and “Timers.”

The Alarms tab (like the rest of the app) features a large FAB, like before, but it’s now a rounded square and in the bottom-right corner. Editing an alarm (or creating a new one) opens a sheet with the time selector above, while you can see the UI for Alarm name, Sound, Vibrate, Weather forecast, and Google Assistant Routine. A new font is used throughout the app.

Current

The main change to your alarms list is how active ones see the background of their card highlighted. In the same vein, the “Dismiss” button is more prominent, while the narrower Material 3 on/off toggles are in use. 

Upcoming

The UI for creating Timers has some present increments at the bottom, and also immediately lets you set a name. Instead of a “play” icon, you get a “Start” button. There are some tweaks to the active timer interface, like how play/pause has been moved into the circle. 

Old vs. new

Meanwhile, the Stopwatch gets rid of the circle motif for just digits. The simplification continues with icons replaced by text buttons for Stop, Reset, and Lap that are much larger than before.

The Bedtime tab is relatively unchanged, while we don’t have a look at World Clock. The Clock app is also said to now be “100%” Jetpack Compose, or Google’s “recommended modern toolkit for building native UI.” Keep in mind that this design could change before launch.

Overall, Google used Material 3 Expressive redesign as an opportunity to clean up the Clock app and make the UI more intuitive, if not obvious.
