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.
