Two moods. One clock.
White continents on black for dark setups, black on white for bright offices. Swap with one click from the tray icon.
A live world clock behind your desktop icons: 12 cities free, unlimited cities with Pro. Real 7‑segment LEDs, automatic daylight‑saving time and near‑zero CPU.
Choose the version that fits your desktop. The desktop app puts the live world clock behind your icons; the free browser and Wallpaper Engine editions are available too.
Install the free desktop world clock on Windows 10 or 11. No Steam or wallpaper manager required.
Run the portable world clock without installing it. The standalone portable build is useful for trying it or keeping it on a USB drive.
Install World Clock Live on macOS from Apple – universal for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 13 Ventura or newer. The app is free, with Pro available as an in-app purchase.
Get LED World Clock Live from the Microsoft Store for Windows. Free to install; Pro is optional.
Use the free World Clock Live wallpaper from Steam Workshop. This edition runs inside Wallpaper Engine and is separate from the standalone app.
Open the live world clock in your browser with no download or installation. Use it fullscreen on a spare monitor or display.
Browse previous Windows versions and the release notes of every published version.
Inspired by the classic LED world clocks in trading floors and airports – as a wallpaper that costs you no performance.
Vector‑drawn segments with unlit "ghost" segments and adjustable glow. Crisp on 4K, no fonts, no blur.
Sits on the desktop layer under your icons and windows – on Windows like Wallpaper Engine without the Steam dependency, on macOS behind the Finder icons.
Pauses completely while a game, video or maximized window covers it, when the screen locks or the computer sleeps.
Uses your system's time‑zone database, so summer/winter time changes in every country happen automatically.
Cities in darkness dim slightly based on the real position of the sun – see who is awake at a glance.
100+ presets or any IANA time zone. Rename "New York" to "HQ" and nudge clocks where you want them.
Fullscreen mode for wall displays and lobbies, on both platforms. The Business license for Windows adds your logo on the map.
Classic red, amber, matrix green, cyberpunk cyan, blue, white, magenta, violet – or any hex color.
White continents on black for dark setups, black on white for bright offices. Swap with one click from the tray icon.
No subscription, no account. Keys are delivered instantly by e‑mail and work offline.
No. The clock updates once per second and only redraws digits that change. When a fullscreen app, a maximized window, the lock screen or sleep covers it, it stops all timers – 0 % CPU, 0 % GPU.
Windows 10 and Windows 11, including 24H2 and newer. Multi‑monitor setups are supported; Pro lets you pick the display.
Yes – in the Mac App Store, for macOS 13 Ventura or newer, one universal build for Apple silicon and Intel. On macOS the app lives in the menu bar rather than the system tray, and the clock sits on the desktop layer behind your Finder icons. Pro is unlocked with an in-app purchase through Apple; license keys from this website are for Windows.
Yes, both – on the Mac App Store and in the Microsoft Store (listed there as “LED World Clock Live”). It is the same app either way. The direct download stays the reference version: it needs no store account, it runs on a machine that has no store at all, and it is the first to get new versions – store builds wait for review.
No – World Clock Live is a standalone app that lives in your system tray, with no Steam and no other wallpaper engine underneath it. If you already use Wallpaper Engine, there is a free wallpaper in the Steam Workshop: it is the free tier – twelve cities, red LEDs, dark theme – and it needs Wallpaper Engine running. The app does not.
Yes – the free web version runs the same clock in your browser and goes fullscreen for a wall display or a spare monitor. The desktop app is what puts it on the desktop layer, behind your icons, with your own cities.
Yes – 14 days, no questions asked. Just reply to your purchase e‑mail.
On Windows your key is shown right after checkout – paste it into Settings → Pro, done. Lost it? Get your key again with your checkout e‑mail and the receipt number from Stripe. Keys are verified offline and work on all your personal Windows PCs. On a Mac, Pro is bought inside the app through the Mac App Store.
