24 cities on a world map with real 7‑segment LED digits, rendered behind your desktop icons. Daylight‑saving time handled automatically. Near‑zero CPU. Dark and light mode.
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. Business license 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 – macOS 11 Big Sur or newer, one universal build for Apple silicon and Intel. It is signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens with a normal double‑click. 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. Your Pro key works on Windows and macOS alike.
Both store versions are submitted and waiting for review. Until they are live, the downloads on this page are the same app – and the direct download will always be the first to get new versions.
No. World Clock Live is a standalone app that lives in your system tray. If you already use Wallpaper Engine, ask us for the free web wallpaper package.
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.
