MultiClock For Mac

Most of us now rely on our desktop and mobile devices to tell the time, with desk and wall clocks becoming a rarity. But if you want to quickly glance at the time when you're not using your Mac, a clock screensaver is a nice way to put an inactive monitor to good use.

MultiClock takes a slightly different approach to showing you the time. It uses not a digital or analog clock, but both. A total of 24 clockfaces come together to create a digital clock, with cool animations and several customization options.

There are 24 clockfaces arranged in three rows, with each one's set of hands used to display either a part of a number or a separator. Visually, it looks somewhat similar to an old desk clock, with a larger gap between segments. It looks neat, especially from a distance.

When the time changes, the screensaver goes through an animation to display the new time. This is where I feel the screensaver could be improved. While the animation is cool, it can take a while for it to complete. If you happen to glance at the clock while it's doing its thing, you'll have to wait for it to be done.

Users can choose from a bunch of dial and hand styles, and their colors are also fully customizable. However, the animations cannot be fine-tuned in any way. It would be great to have the option to skip some of the lengthier animations, or even limit them to just the elements of the clock where changes need to be made.

Overall, MultiClock comes along with a very interesting concept that just needs a few more customization options.
