Japandi world clock widget
A Japandi world clock widget shows the time in three cities side by side. Japanese calm meets Nordic simplicity: stone, ink and empty space. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a Japandi 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 Japandi style shapes it
Japandi widgets mix Japanese and Scandinavian ideas: stone and clay colors, ink-black accents, off-center layouts and a lot of deliberate empty space.
- Numbers: Keep the number moderate in size and anchor it to one corner.
- Text: Use a quiet serif and place text off-center with space around it.

How to make a Japandi world clock widget in WidgetCraft
- Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #EDE8DF and the corner radius to 8.
- Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Noto Serif JP, the size to 32 and the color to #26231F.

- Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #9C4A3C under your own city.
- Add the Japandi ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: one vermilion dot in the bottom right, like a seal, and a single short ink line at the bottom left.

Tips for Japandi world clock widgets
- Leave at least a third of the widget empty.
- Use vermilion once, as a small dot.
- 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 center and fill the layout.
- Do not use glossy or bright colors.
