Flip Clock

Click for fullscreenpress F · exit with Esc

A large flip clock that fills your screen, with the satisfying split-flap animation of an old railway-station board — each digit folds over as the time changes. Click for fullscreen and it becomes a clean bedside or desk clock, or a calm screensaver that keeps the time readable across the room.

Switch between 24-hour and 12-hour time, and turn seconds on or off. The dark background keeps it easy on the eyes at night, and on an OLED screen it draws very little power. Nothing to install and no account — it runs live in your browser.

What people use it for

Bedside & desk clock

A big, glance-able clock for your nightstand, desk or shelf — readable from across the room without reaching for a phone.

Calm screensaver

Leave it fullscreen on a spare monitor or TV; the flip animation is subtle and the dark background is easy on the eyes.

Streams & video

A clean on-screen clock or countdown backdrop for a stream starting-soon screen or a study timer.

Focus timer companion

Keep the current time visible while you work in blocks, with seconds on if you like to watch them tick.

Frequently asked questions

Is the flip clock free?

Yes, completely — no app, no account, no download. Open the page and it runs in your browser.

Can I switch between 24-hour and 12-hour time?

Yes. The 24-hour / 12-hour button toggles the format, and in 12-hour mode it shows AM or PM.

Can I show seconds?

Yes — the Seconds button adds a seconds pair that flips every second.

Does it work as a fullscreen screensaver?

It runs fullscreen in your browser rather than as a system screensaver. Open it, press F for fullscreen, and leave the tab running.

Will it keep the screen on?

While it is the active tab the time keeps updating. For an always-on bedside clock, set your device to not sleep, or use fullscreen so the display stays awake.
