I am a Linux user of "intermediate" experience. I use Arch (i686) with XFCE on a moderately old Acer Aspire 2920Z laptop -- and I was trying to get an analog clock on the screen without "cairo dock" (which I hate -- all I want from it is a clock, anyway).
Puppy Linux uses "xonclock" which is nice AND in the AUR -- but it no longer compiles due to a "freetype" version dependency issue. Xonclock is no longer being developed, so it likely won't ever work again.

Two things did work however and one surprised me: Cairo-clock (which is in the community repositories) and the Opera Widget "Analog Clock" (advertised as "Simple Analog Clock" or something close to that -- it's their most popular analog clock widget).
I ran TOP under identical conditions, once using cairo-clock and once using the Opera widget. I did it several times to be sure. I saved the output as text and compared them in Meld -- here's a link to my screenshot of THAT: As you can see, cairo-clock uses three times the CPU resources -- though somewhat less memory.
Last year I went through a similar search for a good simple low-resource using analog clock. I eventually went with xclock - once I did a complete overhall in .Xdefaults to get it to look half decent. But I also learned, while experimenting with cairo-clock, that changing the update interval has a massive impact on its resource use. I threw cairo-clock away sever times as I couldn't believe when I started it up it used (and continued to use) around 15% of my CPU and a large hunk of memory. But by changing the refresh interval to something more reasonable, I got the resource use down to be comparable with many other clocks.
As I mentioned earlier, there are several other analog clock apps in the Microsoft Store as well. Feel free to check them out by launching the Microsoft Store app and searching for the term analog clock app.
There are several widgets to be used in KDE Plasma that will let you display the time on your desktop screen. These can be added directly onto the desktop or into the panel as well. This applies to all widgets, of course.
By default, there is one clock widget on the right of the control panel. In this document, we will concentrate on this clock. However, everything said is also valid for clock widgets that are added onto the desktop directly.
Those of you who like to keep an eye fixed on the fancier side of Linux desktop will be interested to know that the Burn My Windows extension and Desktop Clock GNOME extension both received updates this weekend.
Desktop Clock v4 is a substantial upgrade. It adds a ton of new features, customisation options, and UI improvements. For instance, this update gives you more control over the look, alignment, padding, and spacing of digital clocks. Using these options you can create some truly bespoke desktop clocks.
For all the wonder of the digital age sometimes you just want something familiar and simple. Digital clocks lack the character of analogue clocks plus they can be harder to check at a glance especially for those with visual impairments. ClocX 64-bit is a handy traditional clock for your PC or laptop with a host of extra features. This free software is a nice addition to any desktop.
ClocX 64-bit?s most obvious feature is displaying a floating clock on your desktop which is pretty smart looking and easy to read. The list of extra features is pretty huge including the option to make it ?always on top? so the clock stays in view if you?re doing something else. You can even set alarms! You can set transparency language make it unmoveable put it on the system tray and choose to have it start up automatically with Windows. You can even change the appearance and use anti-aliasing to smooth it out visually!
ClocX 64-bit may seem a bit superfluous but if you want a clock on your PC this is the one to try. It has a ton of customisable features and it?s free to use so this is likely to be a permanent addition to your PC screen. The only downside here is that? well it?s just a clock!
ClocX is much more than just a simple replacement for the Windows standard clock. It features extra functionality such as an alarm system and can be customized with literally hundreds of different beautiful skins. ClocX can be configured to stay on top of other apps or be pinned to desktop, providing you with a nicer and more comfortable way to check time. Configurable level of transparency will make ClocX looking cool and matching your favorite Windows theme.
This 64-bit version is made for running on 64-bit operating systems Windows XP/Vista/7/8 x64.
Fliqlo for Mac/Windows is a clock screensaver that allows you to make your desktop/laptop device screen look like a flip clock. It displays the time with flip animation in large white numerals against a black background. Thanks to its visibility, you can check the time even from a distance.
The latest Fliqlo version 1.9 requires macOS 14 Sonoma. There are no changes in function or appearance, but the clock display has been rewritten in SwiftUI. If you're using macOS 13 Ventura or earlier, use Fliqlo 1.8.6.
Fliqlo for iOS/iPadOS is a clock app that allows you to make your mobile device screen look like a flip clock. It displays the time with flip animation in large white numerals against a black background. Thanks to its visibility, you can check the time even from a distance.
Initially, a device that was 'disconnected' and simply a clock with an alarm was the reason to purchase this clock. The randomness of which tune wakes me up in the morning makes it a pleasure added to the ability of changing artists when necessity calls. The aesthetic is without complication and clean. You experience a subtle interface through a tap or small LED in the name- brilliant. I thought why not? I have not been disappointed and neither will anyone looking for simplicity in design with excellent function.
Enter a value, in seconds, that represents how frequently youwant the block to execute and interact with the I/O hardware. Theblock synchronizes your model with the real-time clock at this samplerate.
