Our mission
The web is loud. Notifications, badges, blinking digits — every modern interface seems to compete for a sliver of your attention. We wanted to build something that did the opposite. AnalogueClock.com is a single, quiet object you can leave open on a tab, a tablet, or a TV: two hands on a circle, sweeping at sixty frames per second, asking nothing of you.
It's free, will always be free, and is supported only by unobtrusive advertising in the margins.
Design principles
- →Calm by default. Warm paper tones in light mode, deep cinematic black in dark mode. No flashing, no chrome, no chatter.
- →Respect the dial. Four hand-crafted faces — Classic, Roman, Minimal, Modern — drawn with proper proportions and tuned for legibility from a phone to a 65-inch display.
- →Privacy by default. No account, no profile, no cross-device sync. Your theme and clock face are stored only in your browser's local storage.
- →Performance over features. The clock starts ticking in the first paint. Smooth seconds run on
requestAnimationFrame; no heavy libraries, no animations that drain battery.
Who it's for
We built this for the people who tend to leave a clock on a second screen all day:
- → Writers, programmers, and designers in long deep-work sessions.
- → Students using Pomodoro and timed study blocks.
- → Teachers casting a clock to a classroom display.
- → Podcasters, streamers, and recording engineers needing a glance-able studio clock.
- → Meditation and yoga practitioners wanting a silent, calm timer.
- → Anyone who simply prefers a circle to a digit.
