Corner Time is a minimalist macOS app designed to keep the time always visible, even when your menu bar is hidden or you're in fullscreen mode. This app is perfect for those who prefer a distraction-free workspace and embrace digital minimalism.

WHY I BUILD THIS

I love keeping my menu bar hidden for a cleaner, distraction-free workspace. But constantly moving my cursor to the top just to check the time got annoying.

So I built Corner Time – a native-like clock that could always show the current time in fullscreen mode or whenever the menu bar is hidden. It looks simple, but it has genuinely improved my daily workflow. Users have also said this is an eagerly long-awaited app.

KEY FEATURES

Always Visible: The clock remains visible even during fullscreen sessions (even in Safari’s or VLC’s fullscreen mode), ensuring you never lose track of time.
Customizable Formats: Choose from various formats and styles, or create your own custom format to suit your preferences.
Lightweight: Designed to have a low energy impact, ensuring your device's performance is not compromised.
Multi-Display Support: Automatically detects all connected displays, allowing you to enable or disable the clock on each display individually.
Optional Background: Enhance readability on different places
Stylized Fonts: Select the font that best matches your style, with local fonts support on the roadmap.
Multi-Language Support: Automatically displays time in your system's language, with support for 10 languages.
