Very customizable beautiful clock.

PROJECT IS CLOSED AND NO LONGER MAINTAINED!
The final version is 4.7.9.

Windows 10 ready!
Supported macOS version is 10.12+. Retina display ready! Apple silicon based macs (i.e. M1) are NOT supported!
Linux build is available only for 64-bit systems.

Nothing special required to start using this clock. Just launch it and enjoy! When it starts, apart the clock itself, small tray icon appears (if system tray is available). Tray icon color depends on operating system, in most cases it is black, but on Windows 10 and macOS with dark theme it is white. This tray icon can be used to call clock configuration dialog. Also this dialog can be called using clock context menu.

You can create your own skin! See this link for details: https://sourceforge.net/p/digitalclock4/wiki/How%20to%20create%20skin/

User Reviews

  • Thanks for being there much appreciated!!! Works great and reliable!
  • Why did you make the last version uninstall itself? That is so not cool.

    installer is under heavy development, issues may happen. installer should be stabilized during this week. I don't use any "setup.exe constructors", I'm using .msi installer (the right way to install Windows apps), but I'm almost not even familiar with any of Windows technologies, so this is mostly trial and error way for me. unfortunately, .msi is too sensitive to changes, any these changes do not only affect new installer, but also what was already installed, and sometimes this produces very unexpected results. to make upgrade process smooth, both previous and current version must be installed using the installer built in the same way. this is not a just "extract and replace files" (like almost any "setup.exe" does, that's why they have "uninstall.ini" or other files to track anything copied and corresponding "uninstall.exe", but note - I don't have it - it is not required at all), this is a very complex process. old installer sources are unusable as is (and also it is know that they contained some issues I was aware of), and even more they assumed many manual steps I wanted to avoid (now installer is automatically generated on build server, how it should be). now my primary goal is to collect early feedback, many experimental things are uploaded, sorry for inconvenience and thanks for reporting.
  • Why did you f#cked up this awesome app ? For years I have installed and used your clock for all my machines. But the latest update... why did you s*** like that?

    new (next) version was written from scratch, and it is under heavy development, so many things are still missing, only basic functionality is available. I just published it in hope to get any early feedback. +/- same functionality will be available in ~3-4 months (March-April). but even now, new version has more customization options and incredible font rendering quality (old clock even can't be compared to it). old skins are completely supported (this was the one of primary goals), and even can have advantage of new "font-like" skin engine, what was not possible in old clock and imposed constraints on what can be represented by skin. the only big missing part is plugin system, but in old clock it is just a set of various "hacks and wheels" accumulated with time. new one even not designed yet.
  • Very good customizable desktop clock, has great font support and with the opacity set just right it blends perfectly.

    thank you! new (next) version was designed to have great font support (compared to old one), it is almost (but not completely) identical to regular font rendering. it was thoroughly tested with a lot of "fancy" (aka "Photoshop") fonts to be sure that everything is fine.
  • Elegant form, perfect function. Sweet!
