Kinetik Clock is a free, open-source world clock desktop widget for Windows 11 and Windows 10. It shows the time in as many places as you like, each with a small analog dial that turns dark at night, so you can see at a glance who's awake.
It's a small portable app with no installer and no account. It's a companion to Kinetik Stats, the taskbar system monitor, and Kinetik Calendar, and shares their look.
About this project: I made this for my own desktop and decided to share it in case anyone else finds it useful. If you run into a bug or have an idea for a feature, please open an issue.
Part of the Kinetik apps, with Kinetik Stats (the taskbar monitor, called just Kinetik until its v4.0), Kinetik Hub and the other desktop widgets.
- A settings window (right-click → Settings…) in the style of Kinetik Stats': add, rename, reorder and remove places, choose dials or compact, 24-hour time, seconds and time differences, then Look, Placement, General and About.
- App theme: one theme and accent colour for every Kinetik app's windows and menus: Match Windows, Graphite, OLED black, Midnight, Nord, Mocha, Forest, Light or Paper, with a Sky, Violet, Mint, Amber, Rose or Coral accent or your Windows accent. Pick it in Settings → General, under App theme in the right-click menu, in Kinetik Hub or in Kinetik Stats, and every app follows.
- Widget themes: new OLED black and Mocha, and Match app theme, which uses the app theme and accent colour.
- New icon in the Kinetik apps' "Graphite glass" style.
- Any number of places, each with its own name and Windows time zone (daylight saving handled by Windows)
- Analog dial per place that turns dark at night
- Themes in the Kinetik apps' style, a choice of fonts, size and background opacity
- Placement: drag anywhere, snap to edges, lock position
- Settings backup next to the exe, offered again on a fresh Windows
- Download
KinetikClock.zipfrom Releases and extract it anywhere. - Run
KinetikClock.exe. Right-click the widget for places, style, size, placement and backup.
Settings are kept in HKCU\Software\KinetikClock. The app makes no network connections.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) with .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with both.
No SDK needed: build.bat compiles KinetikClock.cs with the .NET Framework compiler that ships with Windows. build.bat package also makes KinetikClock.zip for a release.
KinetikClock.exe --demo runs a separate copy with made-up places that reads and saves no settings, which is how the screenshots were made. Add --theme Light (or any theme name) to pick its theme.
python tests/run-tests.py runs the regression checks (no window opens). build.bat package builds the exe and makes the release zip, checking every file in it against its SHA-256 hash. The shared support code (SuiteSupport.cs) is compiled into the exe, so there's no extra DLL.
