Online Clock

How to use the online clock

Switch between 12 and 24 hour, toggle the seconds, and resize the digits from the settings. Fullscreen turns the page into a wall display.

Common questions

Why is the time slightly off?

The clock reads your device's clock, which itself syncs with internet time servers. If the device drifts, this clock drifts with it. Set your operating system to sync time automatically and the difference disappears.

Can I use it as a wall display?

Yes. Fullscreen hides everything except the digits, the date, and the day. Plug an old tablet or a small monitor into power, open this page, and leave it.

What's the difference between 12-hour and 24-hour time?

24-hour runs 00 to 23 in one cycle, no AM or PM. 12-hour cycles through 1 to 12 twice and uses AM and PM to mark the half. Pick whichever you read faster.

How do I hide the seconds?

Open the settings panel in the corner and toggle Seconds. The choice saves for the next visit.

Tips

If the second-hand tick is distracting, hide the seconds. If you don't need the date either, hide that too. Anything you change is remembered next time.

About time zones

The clock reads your device's local time zone. About 38 zones are in use today; most are an hour apart, but a few places kept fractional offsets (India at +5:30, Nepal at +5:45, parts of Australia at +9:30) that never lined up with the round-hour grid. Many countries spring forward and fall back for daylight saving each year, and the clock follows whatever your device decides.
