What a Y2K 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 Y2K style shapes it

Y2K widgets recall the year 2000: glossy bubble shapes, icy blue and hot pink, chrome highlights and playful rounded type, like an old music player skin.
