The Clock

Time is one of the most important resources, equally distributed to everyone, with management a key factor to achieve success in personal, and work related activities. Just to have it in plain sight at all times, and to easily set reminders for important events, The Clock can provide the variety of tools you need in this regard.

One of the main advantages is that the application skips you the whole time and effort required to go through a setup process, and can run right after download. This means you can carry it around on a thumb drive, and use it on both your home, and work computers, without having to worry that stability is affected, because registry entries are not modified in the process.

A small gadget shows up on your desktop as soon as the application is launched. You can freely move it around the desktop, and choose to make it stay on top of everything else. Just so it doesn’t become too intrusive, the configuration panel allows you to set transparency level, and even ignore mouse interaction to be able to use items, and shortcuts in the background layer.

Two modes can either display a full clock with detailed time, and date text, or a simplified version. It can blend in any environment, but this requires some tweaking on your behalf, in the sense of adjusting element colors, as well as text style, type, and color.

Sounds also play an important role, especially since you can add reminders, and alarms to help you out. You can rely on the preset library of sounds, or load your own. Reminders, and alarms are sure to let you know when the time comes. Alarms trigger a cool flash animation on the clock, while reminders show up in dedicated window, which can also display a custom message.

Time can either be grabbed from the system configuration, or an online source, with options to set update intervals. A second mode turns the clock into a stopwatch, but with no option to save logs, or pause time events.

The Clock is sure to come in handy if time is the most important resource in your daily activities. The visual design is slim, while customization options make it blend in any environment. With the help of alarms and reminders, events are no longer missed, making this application worth a try overall.
