Close Enough Clock

Close Enough Clock: Free, Open-Source Desktop Clock for Relaxed Timekeeping

A customizable desktop clock application with intentional inaccuracies for a more relaxed approach to timekeeping, available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

What is Close Enough Clock?

Close Enough Clock is a free, open-source desktop clock application available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It displays the current time on the user's computer screen, but with intentional, customizable inaccuracies built in.

Rather than being precisely accurate down to the exact second, Close Enough Clock allows users to set variability ranges for the time display. For example, the minutes display could be set to vary by plus or minus 5 minutes, while the hour display could vary by plus or minus 2 hours.

This relaxed approach to timekeeping is meant to reduce the stress and anxiety some users feel when clock-watching. The variability settings are customizable, allowing adjustment from very accurate to wildly inaccurate. There are also options for customizing the visual style of the clock interface.

As an open-source software, Close Enough Clock is developed collaboratively by a decentralized team of programmers who contribute code. This makes it free to download and use for any purpose. User feedback helps drive the addition of new features and improvements over time.

In summary, Close Enough Clock provides a free alternative to precisely accurate clock software for those seeking a more casual mindfulness-based approach to their perception of time.
