On load, the clock sends one HEAD request to the current page, reads the server Date header, and compensates for half of the round-trip latency. If the request or header is unavailable, the offset stays at zero and the clock continues with device time instead of interrupting the display.
The selector includes local time, UTC, and common IANA time zones such as New York, London, Taipei, Tokyo, Sydney, and Auckland. The analog clock, digital time, date, weekday, and UTC offset all update to the selected zone. You can also step through zones by offset with ‹ ›, or jump with the Local / UTC buttons.
Choose an analog clock, a large digital clock, or both displays together. Single-display modes use the full available area, and your choice stays active when entering full screen.
"Enlarge view" at the top right works on phones and desktops: it fills the window with the clock and tucks away the other controls, ideal for personal displays, projectors, classrooms, and meeting rooms. When the browser supports native full screen (desktop), "Full screen view" can take over the entire screen. The page does not store time-zone activity.
Common questions and answers about this topic.
When the page loads, the clock attempts to sync with server time and compensate for network latency. After a successful sample it updates every second with the measured offset; if the sync is unavailable, it continues using your device time.
Yes. In the time zone panel, use ‹ › to step through zones by offset, or tap the city name to pick UTC, Tokyo, New York, London, and other common zones from the list; "Local" switches back in one tap. The clock, digital time, and date all convert to the selected zone.
No. Apart from a single request to the server on load to sync the current time, all display and time-zone conversion happens inside your browser. No usage data is stored or uploaded.
Yes. The "Enlarge view" button at the top right fills the window with the clock and works on phones too; on desktop browsers that support it, "Full screen view" takes over the whole screen. Enlarged, only the clock itself remains; press the button again or Esc to exit.
