However, many users miss certain gadgets that were part of their daily productivity hacks. And one of the most missed ones is a visible desktop clock, much larger and obvious than the one in the small quick menu at the bottom of the screen. Luckily, there are plenty of third-party apps that you can download online. If you don’t want a more complex tool, with multiple apps (clock included), you can find specific small clocks apps and we’ll be looking at some of them in this article.

What are the best clock widgets to customize your desktop?

The basic version comes for free, and it also has a paid extension. The developers are constantly improving the app to fix all possible bugs. The Graphics are pretty nice and they feature cool, realistic animations that you can enjoy on your screen, whatever the resolution. We decided to set it in the first place in our selection because it’s simple, effective, and very customizable. Other key features include:

Free clock themes with five different basic clock features Stylish look Expressive animations

Of course, the clock is fully customizable, allowing you to place it anywhere on the desktop, and choose the time zone, time display format (12 or 24 hours), widget size, and widget opacity. Apart from the clock, the app also includes dynamic weather information (current conditions and future forecasts). The app is not for free, but it comes with a free trial period. There are over 20 clock skins to choose from and you can set it with an automatic location (from cell/Wi-Fi or GPS) or manual. Other key features include:

SPONSORED The app comes with 10 backgrounds that you choose from.  Also, it has an alarm feature in case you need to set one. This is also a free app and you can use it on older systems like Windows 8 but you can go up to Windows 11 with it. Although the MetroClock app has various backgrounds, you can also pay to acquire more beautiful backgrounds. Other key features include:

Appealing selection of backgrounds Alarm option Minimalistic design

Users complain, though, that the app is not dynamic and the time won’t change in case one travels to another time zone. Also, you can customize the background image with one of your own, but change it at every reboot. Even though the Nightstand Analog Clock app has a simple design, it is also appealing thanks to its multiple background options. Other key features include:

Uncomplicated design Beautiful background images Easy usage

Unfortunately, you can’t use your own background. As expected, the clock widget can be resized according to your preferences, and you can also set it to be displayed as a portrait. It’s also worth mentioning that the clock is available in 22 languages so you can feel at home. With the Watch One digital clock widget, the wallpaper can be changed into the main screen and it also has a switchable portrait or landscape feature. Other key features include:

Customizable digital color Support titles Gorgeous design
