How to use

4. Select Copy time to put the displayed time on your clipboard.

What time does this clock show?

This clock uses the time already set on your phone, tablet or computer. It does not make a network request, adjust the time from a server or claim to be an official reference clock. The time-zone name and UTC offset below the display identify the local setting the browser is using. If the digits look wrong, correct the date, time or time-zone setting in your device’s operating system; the clock updates on its next second.

12-hour and 24-hour time

In 24-hour time, midnight is 00:00 and the last second of a day is 23:59:59. In 12-hour time, midnight is 12:00 AM and noon is 12:00 PM. Seconds are useful for a visible reference during a presentation, class or recording, while hiding them makes a calmer desk clock. These display choices are saved only in this browser, so reopening the page keeps the format you selected.

Use a spare screen as a clock

Select Full screen or press F to make the digits scale with the available screen. Press Esc, or select the control again, to return to the normal page. This is useful for a classroom projector, a reception desk, a kitchen tablet or a second monitor. A browser page can pause while a device sleeps, so keep the screen awake if people need to read it continuously; use your device clock app rather than a browser tab for a critical alarm.
