Screen Clock Pro: Customize Your On-Screen Time Display

Screen Clock Pro is a customizable on-screen clock utility designed for desktop users who want a clear, flexible time display without switching apps. It focuses on visual customization, minimal system impact, and productivity-friendly features.

Key features

  • Multiple clock types: Digital (⁄24-hour), analog, and hybrid modes.
  • Always-on-top and click-through: Keep the clock visible while working; enable click-through so it doesn’t block interactions.

  • Alarms and timers: Set one-off or repeating alarms, countdown timers, and simple sleep reminders.
  • Time zones and world clocks: Display multiple zones simultaneously, label each clock, and sync with system or internet time.
  • Widgets and plugins: Small widgets (date, stopwatch, CPU usage) and community plugins for extra functionality.
  • Themes and presets: Built-in presets and import/export for sharing custom themes.
  • Low resource usage: Lightweight CPU/RAM footprint and optional GPU acceleration for smooth rendering.
