Asparion Clock

Nowadays, being organized and efficient is a must. As the assignments and daily chores are adding up with each day, it's hard to remember what celebrations, birthdays, or payments are due. Most of us use sticky notes or various similar tools, to keep temporary data pinned to the desktop.

However, they can be easily deleted or closed, so as a better solution, alarms and timers were developed. If you're the adept of more modern and simpler apps, than Asparion Clock for Windows 8 may be a good choice.

It's installed through the Store, so it doesn't take up much space, nor leaves traces after removal. The interface is self-explanatory and accessible, divided into multiple different sections, the timer, alarm, clock, miscellaneous, and settings.

From the options, you can pick the first day of the week, the background and foreground colors, for a more personal look. It's recommended, but not mandatory, to set the clock and alarm as default, to get accurately notified. The time and date are automatically synced with the system, and the calendar, personalized and pinned to the Start Screen.

For both timer, alarm and clock, the customization steps are similar. Once you entered a fitting name for the chronometer, you are able to pick the hours, minutes, and seconds, along with display duration (long, short), sound, picture, and background tone. Unfortunately, the app doesn't offer an option to select a custom sound nor icon.

In addition to the elements mentioned above, when setting an alarm, you need to choose the desired days and snooze repetition. The clock, on the other hand, comes with several styles to pick from, but keep in mind that once you selected a design, you can't change it again. It's possible to activate the live tile on Start Screen, change the text font and color, and the clock ticks. The stopwatch adopts a more simpler look.

To sum it up, Asparion Clock for Windows 8 is a reliable and useful application that comes in handy for those who need multiple timers, alarms, and clocks, and countdown the remaining time for various events.
