What a handwritten 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 handwritten style shapes it

Handwritten widgets look like a page from a bullet journal: a handwriting font, dotted or lined paper, pen-blue ink and hand-drawn boxes.

How to make a handwritten world clock widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FBF8EF and the corner radius to 10. Add a 2-point outline.
  2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Caveat, the size to 32 and the color to #2B3A67.
