AirClock

AirClock is a small software application developed specifically for helping you read the time from the comfort of your desktop with the aid of an analogue clock. In order to be able to install the tool on your computer and make use of its capabilities, you need to deploy Adobe AIR runtime on the target system.

AirClock sports a simple layout that does not hide any configuration settings under its hood. A help manual is not comprised in the package, but you can quickly get an idea about how to work with this program.

It takes nothing more than a fast and simple installation process where you only need to press on a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to complete the task. You can perform some special tweaks during the installation. You are allowed to place a shortcut of the clock to your desktop and run the program at the end of the installation.

The analog clock remains on a fixed position on your desktop so you cannot move it to another location. You cannot change its size and adjust its opacity. By default, the clock is transparent and shows the time with the aid of hour, minute, and second hands.

On the downside, AirClock does not offer support for advanced configuration settings. Professionals may be disappointed by its poor support for options. You are not allowed to set up alarms with custom text message notifications and audio alerts, work with a calendar, and change the looks of the clock with the aid of several colorful themes and skins, just to name a few suggestions.

Tests have pointed out that AirClock remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the system is not hampered. You may keep it running in the background.

To sum things up, AirClock comes bundled with basic options for helping you check out the current time, and can be employed more like a desktop enhancement application.
