App for what? What are you using that doesn't already have a clock?

I use this: https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

The funniest answer I saw to the question of the most privacy respecting clock was "a sundial", but thats just my childish sense of humour.

+1 for this app. Functions like stock clock with the needed permissions.

Depending on what you want, a clock app is something you can easily build yourself. Nothing more private than what is already yours.
