What a neo-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 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.

Numbers: Make numbers heavy and black on the bright card.
Text: Use a bold grotesque sans in black; no grey text at all.

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

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FFD43B and the corner radius to 10. Add a 3-point outline.
Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to Space Grotesk, the size to 35 and the color to #000000.
Duplicate the clock twice and space the three about 112 apart. Open each copy's details, choose Time zone and pick its city.
Add a Text label above each clock with the city name at size 12 in #4A4A4A, and the offset below it.
Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #FF6B6B under your own city.
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 world clock widgets

Add a solid black shadow offset 6 points right and down, radius 0.
Outline everything at 3 points.
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 use soft or blurred shadows.
Do not use pastel or muted color.
