Klox

Everything we do here on this planet revolves around time, even though it’s merely a concept we created to be able to synchronize ourselves. There’s now a clock in almost every type of environment, and you even have one in the taskbar at all times. In case you want a stylish one on the desktop, Klox is sure to be the one.

Setup only takes a little while, so you’re shortly able to run the application and see what it’s all about. A small clock shows up on your desktop, and you’re free to move it to any suitable position. A tray icon is also created to provide quick access to general settings, and bring the clock up front to check the time.

Interacting with the desktop clock brings up a dedicated properties panel. Here you get the chance to choose from quite the variety of clock styles, toggle the visibility of the second hand, and whether or not to keep the clock on top of every other window.

The options menu, however, holds a bit more options than just aesthetics. For instance, it can be used to configure an alarm with a custom message and at a specific time. A sound can be assigned as well, which can be a default, built-in chime, system beep, or even a WAV file you load from your computer.

In case you configure an alarm, the application can also run a specific program at the preset time. What’s more, the clock can be synchronized to a different time zone in case you want to monitor a different region on the globe. It’s set to run with Windows by default so that everything is ready when you reach the desktop.

All things considered, we can state that Klox is a minimalistic, but pretty cool desktop clock you can keep synchronized to a different region and not just a replacement for the built-in clock. Although only one alarm can be configured, it comes in handy overall.
