Neo-brutalist analog clock widget

What a neo-brutalist analog clock widget shows

An analog clock reads as a shape rather than as numbers, which makes it the most decorative way to show the time. WidgetCraft has a dedicated analog layer where the dial, markers and each hand can be styled separately.

It uses the phone's clock, needs no permission and works offline. A 2 × 2 space is enough.

How the neo-brutalist style shapes it

Neo-brutalism is the playful cousin of brutalism: saturated yellow, pink or mint cards with thick black outlines and a solid black shadow shifted down and right.

• Bars and rings: Outline every bar and ring in black and fill with a second bright color.
• Numbers: Make numbers heavy and black on the bright card.

How to make a neo-brutalist analog clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFD43B and the corner radius to 10. Add a 3-point outline.
2. Tap Add and choose Analog. Size it to fill the canvas with a margin of about 28.
3. Open the clock details and set the dial to #FFF3BF with a 4-point ring in #000000.
4. Set twelve markers: quarter-hours thicker in #000000, the rest thinner in #4A4A4A.
5. Style the hour hand (short, width 6) and minute hand (long, width 3.5) in #000000, turn the second hand off and color the center cap #FF6B6B.
6. Add the neo-brutalist ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a coral square in the top right and a blue circle in the bottom right, each with a 3-point black outline.
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 neo-brutalist analog clock widgets

• Add a solid black shadow offset 6 points right and down, radius 0.
• Outline everything at 3 points.
• Keep the hour hand clearly shorter and thicker than the minute hand.
• Twelve markers are easier to read than sixty; add numerals only at 12, 3, 6 and 9 if at all.
• Leave the second hand off: launchers refresh widgets about once a minute.
• Do not use soft or blurred shadows.
• Do not use pastel or muted color.
