Introduction
The Digital Clock is a distraction-free, oversized clock that runs entirely in your browser tab. There's no setup beyond opening the page — it reads the correct time straight from your device and updates every second, making it a handy stand-in for a physical desk clock, a lobby display or a classroom wall clock.
It pairs naturally with our other everyday tools: use the Online Alarm when you need to be reminded at a specific time, or the Timer when you need to count down a duration rather than just watch the current time.
How to Use
Open the page and the clock starts immediately — no configuration required. Use the 12-hour / 24-hour toggle to switch between "6:45:12 PM" and "18:45:12" style formats, and the Show / Hide seconds toggle if you'd rather see a calmer display without the seconds ticking over. Tap the fullscreen icon in the top-right of the card to blow the clock up to fill your entire screen — ideal for projecting onto a classroom screen or leaving up on a spare monitor. Press the exit icon or Escape to leave fullscreen.
Features
Large, legible display built from your device's own system clock
One-tap 12-hour / 24-hour format switch
Optional seconds display for a calmer, slower-moving clock
Full date shown underneath, in plain language
Genuine fullscreen mode for second monitors and projectors
No installs, no accounts, no ads inside the clock itself
Use Cases
Keep this open as a desk display next to your monitor, project it fullscreen during a workshop or conference intermission, put it up on a classroom screen so students can see the time at a glance, or dedicate a spare second monitor to it as a simple, timezone-free clock that's always visible. Because it reads your device's own local time, there's nothing to configure for your timezone or daylight saving — it's always correct.
Tips
If you're projecting the clock for a group, switch to 24-hour format to avoid any AM/PM ambiguity, and hide the seconds if the ticking motion is distracting on a shared screen. On a dedicated second monitor, fullscreen mode gives you a clean, borderless clock with nothing else competing for attention.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. The clock reads the time directly from your device's system clock and timezone settings, so as long as your computer or phone's clock is set correctly, the display will always match it — no location permissions or manual timezone selection needed.
Yes. Use the Time Format toggle above the clock to switch between 12-hour (with AM/PM) and 24-hour display at any time — the change applies instantly.
Yes. Drag this browser tab onto your second monitor and tap the fullscreen icon in the top-right of the clock card — the display expands to fill the entire screen with no browser chrome, header or footer visible. Press Escape or the exit icon to leave fullscreen.
Once the page has finished loading, the clock itself needs no further network activity — it's driven entirely by your device's own clock in JavaScript. If your connection drops after the page loads, the time will keep updating normally.
Yes. Use the Seconds toggle to switch between showing a constantly ticking seconds field and a calmer display that only shows hours and minutes.
No. The Digital Clock is a silent, purely visual display with no chimes or alerts. If you need an audible alert at a specific time, use the Online Alarm instead.
