What a terminal 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 terminal style shapes it

Terminal widgets look like a command prompt: a black background, green monospace text, a prompt symbol and plain text output instead of graphics.

How to make a terminal world clock widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #050805 and the corner radius to 6. Add a 1-point outline.
  2. Tap Add and choose Clock. Set the format to hours and minutes, the font to JetBrains Mono, the size to 30 and the color to #39FF6A.

  5. Add thin Shape dividers between the columns and a short rule in #39FF6A under your own city.
