Digital Clock For Mac

There are various ways to enhance the appearance of your Mac’s desktop, and many prefer to add a digital clock on their screen that enables them to keep track of time without having to squint at the relatively small one displayed in the status bar. Digital Clock is an app designed for this particular purpose, and offers a broad range of customization options, enabling you to change the clock's appearance and add additional functionality with the help of plugins.

After installing Digital Clock, you can access Settings menu from the app’s status bar icon whenever you wish to change the clock’s visual appearance or enable additional plugins.

All of the application’s functions are self-explanatory, and you can view and changes you make to the digital display in real-time.

There are a number of skins to choose from, and while the default one has a very simple layout, there are many other versions that cater to those who want more artistic designs. Moreover, it can use one of the fonts installed on your system.

One negative aspect we have noticed is that when using certain skins or fonts, the clock appears to ‘flash’ whenever the displayed time changes, which can become quite irritating.

You can change the clock’s opacity and size, increase or decrease the space between digits, modify its color or even insert an image file that can be used as a texture for the entire clock or the individual elements.

You can specify if the clock should always remain on top of other windows, lock its position on your desktop and disable separator flashes.

In addition to the standard functions offered by the application, you can choose to enable a series of optional plugins that change the clock’s appearance or extend its functionality.

For example, you can add alarm and scheduler functions, have the application move the clock on your desktop automatically, as well as display the current date or quick notes below the timer.

Digital Clock ticks most of the right boxes, and the only negative aspect worth mentioning is the fact that the timer appears to ‘flash’ whenever the displayed time changes.

However, the app is easy-to-use and offers plenty of functions to ensure any user can create a personalized clock on their desktop whose visual design and feature set they are happy with.
