Vector Clocks

Vector Clocks is a software application that comes packed with a wide range of clocks which you can display on the desktop. It can be easily installed and configured.

This tool can also be installed as a portable product. This way, you can store Vector Clocks on an external device (like a USB flash drive), save it to any computer and directly run the executable files.

Plus, the Windows Registry does not receive new entries, and no leftover files can be found on the hard drive after deleting the program.

Once the installation procedure is done, Vector Clocks automatically opens the installation directory. Each clock available through the tool comes with its own executable file. Unfortunately, Vector Clocks does not integrate a single interface window from where you may access the clocks.

The program comes with 105 clocks of various styles, ranging from classic (e.g. 'Alarm Red', 'Candy Green', Carmino) to modern (e.g. 'Goldern Heart').

By opening the right-click menu, you can bring up the 'Settings' screen where you can modify some options regarding the clock (e.g. hide date, second hand, show day of the week), schedule an alarm, make the clock stay on top of other applications, switch to a different time zone, change the time format, and others (e.g. use embedded sounds, start the clock with Windows).

Vector Clocks runs on a low-to-moderate amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time, and includes user documentation. No error dialogs popped up during our evaluation and Vector Clocks did not freeze or crash; we haven't encountered any issues. Novices can easily find their way around this app.
