Brutalist world clock widget

What a brutalist world clock widget shows

A world clock widget is for anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another time zone. Three cities in columns, each with its time and a day hint, answer "is it too late to call?" at a glance.

Each clock layer in WidgetCraft can use its own time zone, chosen by city. It is free, works offline and needs no permission; daylight saving is handled automatically.

How the brutalist style shapes it

Brutalist widgets look deliberately raw: oversized condensed type, square corners, thick black outlines and one loud color. Nothing is rounded or shaded, which makes them very readable at a glance.

• Numbers: Make numerals huge, bold and tightly packed so they almost touch the frame.
• Text: Set every label in capitals with wide spacing, like a stencil or a shipping label.

How to make a brutalist world clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FBFAF4 and the corner radius to 0. Add a 4-point outline.
2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Bebas Neue, the size to 40 and the color to #111111.
3. Duplicate the clock twice and space the three about 112 apart. Open each copy's details, choose Time zone and pick its city.
4. Add a Text label above each clock with the city name at size 12 in #55534C, and the offset below it.
5. Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #FF6B2C under your own city.
6. Add the brutalist ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a strip of black diagonal hazard stripes, 10 points tall, along the bottom edge.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for brutalist world clock widgets

• Keep corner radius at 0 and outlines at 3 to 4 points.
• Use one loud accent against black and off-white.
• Three cities fit a 4 × 2 widget; four make the numbers too small.
• Add the day offset, such as "+1 day", when a city is already tomorrow.
• Put your own city first so the others read relative to it.
• Do not add shadows, gradients or transparency.
• Do not use light font weights.
