Online flip clock

A big, calm flip clock for any screen. Open it on a laptop, a spare monitor or your TV, press full screen, and the cards flip quietly as the minutes go by. There are ten styles to pick from, from an airport board to a sky that follows the sun.

A flip clock for any spare screen

Flip clocks used to sit on bedside tables and office desks, with numbers printed on little cards that drop over as the minutes change. This one does the same on a screen. Noir is the classic look: black cards, white numbers and a soft shadow, easy on the eyes in a dark room and sharp in a bright one.

If you've used a flip clock screensaver like Fliqlo, this is the same idea in a browser tab, so there's nothing to download. It works on Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebooks, tablets and most smart TV browsers. Open it on an old laptop, a second monitor or the TV in your living room, press full screen and leave it running.

Good for: desk setups, home offices, streams, waiting rooms and anyone who likes to see the time without picking up a phone.

Want something louder? Departures clatters like an airport board, and Signal fills a whole TV.
