Matchstick Clock

Three little matchstick men run this clock.

Every minute the second hand scoops one of them up and carries him over the top, while the other two wait their turn on the hour marks, climbing down, stepping across and holding on. At ten at night one of them goes to sleep on the 9, and the others take turns through the night. At lunchtime one sits back in the hands for a break. Every minute of the day is different, and the clock always shows the real time.

• World clocks: swipe between your own city and the places you care about. Madrid, São Paulo, New York, Delhi and Tehran are there to start, and you can add any city. • Bedside mode: the screen stays on, and from 10 pm to 7 am the clock turns dark. • Light and dark: dark from sunset to sunrise in each city, worked out by the clock itself, or always light, or always dark. • Hourly chime: a soft bell on the hour, quiet at night. • Share this minute: make a 15-second video of the clock from this moment and send it to someone. • Widgets for the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and StandBy. • In English, Español, Português, فارسی and हिन्दी.

No ads, no accounts, no tracking. It's free, and it works without internet.
