Nice Clock For Mac

While there are a multitude of apps that either change the appearance of your status bar clock or add additional timers in other locations, not a lot of them take advantage of your Mac’s Dock.

Nice Clock aims to help fill this gap, as it enables you to place a stylish timer in the Dock and comes with several color themes for you to choose from.

For many people, glancing at the Dock is almost a reflex action, regardless of whether or not you have moved it to another position on the screen. That is where all your apps are, so you are bound to pay attention to it no matter what you are doing.

Nice Clock also installs an optional Notification Center widget that displays the clock in the Today view, using the same color theme you have chosen from the app’s preferences.

The clock’s visual style is certainly interesting, as the hours are indicated by a series of bars at the edge of the display, while minutes are represented in a digital form, complete with an AM/PM identifier.

Overall, it is clear that the clock was designed to provide you with all the information you need at a glance, while also looking good when added to your Dock.

You can choose from a number of color themes, but it would be nice if more style variations were available.

For example, the AM/PM indicator could be removed, while increasing the size of the digital display. Most people should have no problem telling the difference between night and day, so a minimalist clock could be forgiven for not providing this information.

This is just one example, but there are numerous other variations that could be introduced.

Overall, Nice Clock is a useful app for those who want to view the current time in their Dock, with the help of a well-designed clock that offers a range of color choices and can give you all the info you need at a glance.
