Clocks
Cosmic
Time as nested rings: minutes through year, lunar phases, zodiac, celestial events, live weather and aurora.
Dial
Hour and minute words arranged around a clock face, in twelve languages.
Minimalist
A neumorphic analog face that ticks in real time. Click to toggle dark mode.
Phonetic
The spoken time written in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Phonetic Grid
A word-clock cipher: IPA phonemes in a static grid that light up, in reading order, to spell the hour.
Ransom
A cut-and-paste ransom note that demands the current time. Clock's ticking, buddy.
Reflow
A field of monospace glyphs that re-justifies every minute so its lit cells carve out the time.
Word Clock
A letter grid that lights up to spell the time, in nine languages.
Year
Ten concentric rings, from seconds out to the year. All of them ticking at once.
In Development
Experiments in progress and clocks parked here for now. Click through to try any of them.
ASCII Flip
Split-flap cards in ASCII. Each digit rotates on the second, hinge and all.
ASCII Morph
A grid of cells that dissolves through the density ramp and re-forms into the next time.
ASCII Spin
The time as a 3D ASCII billboard, tumbling gently in space.
ASCII World Clock
A globe, a clock, and nostalgia.
Color Field
Three soft bands of colour drift through the day. A Rothko that happens to keep time.
Latency Loom
Woven from the browser's own timing jitter. The threads encode the time exactly; the wobble is your machine's fingerprint.
Moiré
The time hides in interfering line gratings and develops as they rotate, the way a banknote shows its security print.
Transit
A metro map that tells time: minutes ride a 60-station loop, the hour switches the line, and the marker stops dead at the top of each minute.
Transit · Path
The spoken time as a path across a transit network: IT IS, through a minute number, branching by past, to, or o'clock, arriving at one of twelve hour stations. Bound to replace the current Transit.
