Full screen clock — big digits for a desk or wall

  • 01 Digits sized to fill the screen
  • 02 12 or 24 hour, with date and seconds
  • 03 Five colour-temperature themes

A large digital clock that fills the screen: for a spare monitor on your desk, a tablet on a stand, a classroom display or a TV across the room. Choose 12 or 24 hour time, show the date and seconds if you want them, and pick a colour that suits the room.

§ 01

Built to be read from across a room

In fullscreen the digits are sized from the screen's width and height, so the time takes up most of the display whether it is a landscape monitor or a tablet held upright. Digits are the same width as each other, so the clock does not wobble as the numbers change.

§ 02

Candle (about 1900K) and Warm (about 2700K) put amber digits on near-black, which is easy on the eyes in the evening.

Colour themes by temperature

Candle (about 1900K) and Warm (about 2700K) put amber digits on near-black, which is easy on the eyes in the evening. Neutral (about 4000K) and Daylight (about 6500K) move toward white and blue-white. Paper reverses it with dark ink on a warm cream page, which reads best in a bright room. The Kelvin figures are approximate matches to the lamp colour, not measurements of your display.

§ 03

Good uses for a clock that fills the screen

A second monitor on a desk, a stage or classroom display, a kitchen tablet, a streaming setup where you want the time visible, or a TV during a party. Pair it with the timer page for a countdown next to it, or the night clock if the room will be dark.

Procedure

Three moves to peak output

  1. 01

    Press Fullscreen (or F, or double-click the clock). On a TV, open the page in its browser or cast a laptop tab.

Inquiries

Questions worth asking

Q.01 Can I show only hours and minutes?
Yes. Untick Seconds and the digits get larger, since there is less to fit across the screen.
Q.02 Does it follow my time zone?
It shows the local time and date of the device it is open on, including daylight saving changes. To show another city's time, change the time zone in the device settings.
Q.03 Can I use it on a smart TV?
Any TV with a web browser can open it, though some TV browsers lack fullscreen. Casting a laptop or phone tab (Chromecast, AirPlay or HDMI) gives the most reliable full picture.
Q.04 Where does the time come from?
From the clock of the device the page is open on, read again every second. Phones and computers set that clock from the network, so it should match your phone's lock screen. The page does not count seconds itself, so it cannot drift away from the real time.
Q.05 Will the screen stay on?
While Keep screen on is ticked, the page asks the browser to hold the display awake. Chrome, Edge and recent Safari support this. On a browser that does not, turn off auto-lock or the screen saver in the device settings. Untick the box if you want the device to sleep on its normal schedule.
Q.06 Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded it needs no connection to keep showing the time. Nothing is streamed and nothing is sent anywhere while the clock runs.
