Scott's Clock

Scott's Clock is a small desktop enhancement application whose purpose is to help you read the time from the comfort of your desktop with the aid of an analogue clock.

You can store Scott's Clock on USB flash drives or other portable devices and carry it with you all the time. You may run it without administrative privileges.

The best part about working with portable utilities is that you do not have to follow the steps included in an installation process. A double-click on the executable file is sufficient for getting access to the program’s interface.

What’s more, it does not leave entries in your Windows registry and save other setup files so you can get rid of it using a simple deletion task of the file that you have downloaded from the Internet. Plus, you may run the tool directly from the storage device.

Scott's Clock reveals a minimalist design. By default, the digital clock is kept on top of other windows. The program is designed to be very unobtrusive so the hands and ticks of the clock just float above all other apps.

When it comes to altering the looks of the clock, you may choose between several preset colors, manually select the preferred color from a palette, or automatically adapt the clock’s color according to the one used by the desktop, window text, window frame, menu bar, active title bar, scroll bars, active border, or other system options.

It does not interfere with your work in any way, and does not show popup messages and other types of annoying notifications. You may access its features by right-clicking on the clock. The movement of seconds is marked in real time in the main window. You may also show or hide the seconds.

Tests have pointed out that Scott's Clock carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the system is not affected.

To sum things up, Scott's Clock comes packed with basic features for helping you place a clock on your desktop, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, you are not allowed to set up alarms with custom text and audio notifications.
