World Clock Wall_

4–9 time zones, one screen, fullscreen in your browser. A screensaver that’s useful — for second monitors, office walls and bar TVs.
⛶ click to fullscreen

What is this?

A world clock wall — one screen showing the live local time for 4 to 9 cities at once. Pick a preset or build your own set of cities, then run it fullscreen as a screensaver on a second monitor, an office wall or a TV in a bar. Every clock has its own day/night sky with a sun or moon, so you can tell at a glance whether a colleague is mid-morning or fast asleep before you ping them. Your setup is saved automatically.
⏱ Times come from your browser's time zone database, so daylight saving is handled automatically. They follow your device clock — keep it correct.

Presets

Make it yours

Use the Cities dropdowns to swap any clock for any of nearly 70 cities — pick the home towns of your actual teammates or the destinations on your departure board. The slider sets how many clocks appear (4 to 9). Switch between a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, toggle seconds, dim the wall with the brightness slider, and pick an accent colour that fits your desk or venue. Everything is saved automatically in your browser.

A world clock for remote teams

If your team is spread across countries, a world clock for remote teams takes the mental math out of every "is it a reasonable hour for them?" moment. Instead of a one-off time zone converter, this is a persistent time zone dashboard you keep open on a second monitor: glance over and immediately see whether London is wrapping up while San Francisco is just starting.
It also works as a lightweight meeting planner across time zones — line up the cities of everyone invited and find the window where nobody is asleep before you send the invite. Mount it on an office screen as a world clock wall, run it on a spare display at home, or keep a tab open all day. Because it shows multiple time zones on one screen with day/night skies, it answers "what time is it there right now?" without a single click.

Use it as a screensaver on your second monitor

Drag this tab to your spare monitor, press F for fullscreen, and you have a world clock screensaver that’s actually useful. While fullscreen the page requests a screen wake lock so the display stays awake, and the OLED burn-in shift drifts the wall a few pixels every minute so static text never parks on the same pixels. Close the browser tonight — it reopens with your exact wall tomorrow.

For bars, cafés & office walls (kiosk mode)

Running a wall clock display in a pub, café, hostel, hotel lobby or on a trading floor? Configure the wall, press Copy Link to This Setup, and open that link on the TV’s device — an old laptop, a Raspberry Pi or any HDMI stick with a browser. Launch the browser in kiosk mode (chrome --kiosk "your-link", or just F11) and it boots straight into your exact wall — cities, colours, brightness, everything. Add it to the OS startup items and the clock wall survives power cuts and reboots unattended.

▸ Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ — World Clock Wall & Screensaver

What is a world clock wall?

A single screen that shows the current local time in several cities at once, laid out as a grid of clocks. This one displays 4 to 9 time zones side by side, each with its own day/night sky, date and UTC offset — so a distributed team, a trading desk or a bar full of travellers can glance at one screen and instantly know what time it is everywhere that matters.

How do I use it as a screensaver on my second monitor?

Drag the tab to your spare monitor and press F (or click the wall) for fullscreen. Your cities, colours and brightness are saved automatically in the browser, so it comes back exactly the same tomorrow. While fullscreen, the page uses the browser's wake lock so the display doesn't go to sleep. Browsers can't replace your operating system's real screensaver, but a fullscreen tab on a second monitor does the same job — and this one is actually useful.

How do I put it on a TV in a bar, café or office?

Any device with a browser works: a smart-TV browser, an old laptop, a Raspberry Pi or an HDMI Android stick. Set up your wall, press Copy Link to This Setup, and open that link on the TV device. For a clean look launch the browser in kiosk mode — chrome --kiosk your-link — or simply press F11. Dim it with the brightness slider in the evening and pick an accent colour that fits the venue.

Can it start automatically when the computer boots?

Yes — via your operating system. On Windows, put a shortcut with the target chrome --kiosk your-copied-link in the Startup folder (Win+R → shell:startup). On macOS, add the browser to Login Items with this page as its home page. On a Raspberry Pi, add chromium-browser --kiosk your-link to the autostart file. Because the copied link contains your whole configuration, the wall boots straight into your exact cities and settings.

Will it keep my screen awake?

In fullscreen the page requests a screen wake lock, which modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) honour — the display stays on as long as the wall is visible. If your browser doesn't support wake locks, disable display sleep in your OS power settings for the monitor you're using.

What about OLED or plasma burn-in?

The OLED burn-in shift option (on by default) drifts the entire wall by a few pixels on a slow cycle, so no character stays parked on the same pixels. Combined with the mostly-dark background and the brightness dimmer, it's gentle on OLED panels. For very long-running OLED TVs, still let the panel run its built-in pixel-refresh occasionally.

Are the times accurate, including daylight saving?

Yes. The clocks use your browser's built-in IANA time-zone database via the Intl API, so daylight-saving transitions happen automatically for every city on the correct local date. The wall reads your device's system clock, so keep that correct — it usually syncs via NTP automatically.

Can I choose my own cities, and how many clocks can I show?

Yes — between 4 and 9 clocks, chosen from nearly 70 cities across every continent (plus UTC). Start from a preset like Remote Team, Markets, Europe or Asia-Pacific, then swap any slot using the dropdowns. Your custom wall is saved automatically and can be shared with Copy Link to This Setup.

Can I save or share my exact setup?

Both. Everything you change is stored in your browser automatically, and Copy Link to This Setup puts a URL on your clipboard that encodes the whole configuration — cities, clock count, 12/24-hour, seconds, skies, accent colour and brightness. Bookmark it, set it as a browser home page, send it to a colleague, or use it in a kiosk autostart.

Is it useful for traders and market hours?

Yes — the Markets preset lines up New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney, and extends to 9 clocks with Singapore, Zurich and Shanghai. The day/night skies show session overlap at a glance: when both London and New York are in daylight, you're in the most liquid hours of the trading day. It's a clock, not a data feed — pair it with your trading platform.

How do I make it fullscreen?

Click anywhere on the wall, press F, or use the Enter Fullscreen button. Move the mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to leave. On phones and tablets it falls back to a fullscreen-style layout even where the browser blocks true fullscreen.

Does it keep running, work offline and stay private?

It runs entirely in your browser — no account, no data sent anywhere. Once the page is loaded it needs no network connection to keep perfect time (it reads your device clock), and it redraws only once a second to stay light on CPU and battery. It's designed to be left running for days.

Can I dim it at night?

Yes — the Brightness slider (30–100%) darkens the whole wall without touching your monitor settings, which is exactly what you want in a pub or a bedroom office in the evening. You can also switch off the scanline effect and the day/night skies for the most minimal, darkest look.

Is it free?

Completely free — no account, no ads, no watermark, no time limit. It's one of the 163 free browser tools at jasperbernaers.com. If it ends up hanging on your office or bar wall, a coffee is always appreciated.
