You know it’s time to drop Fliqlo and move on to a new screen saver. Here are a few screen clocks that will have your friends crooning, “Where’d you get that?!”:

Analogy A circular clock that’s just as beautiful as the more popular Word Clock, but not found on every screen at the local co-working space. For Mac OSX, Windows and Android.


The Colour Clock This rainbow-colored clock takes the six hour, minute and seconds digits of the current time and interprets it to display a hexadecimal color value. For Mac OSX 10.5+, Windows and Android.

Crazy Scribbles Another round clock with a dash of color and plenty of style. Get it here.

The Timeline This screen saver features just a few simple bars scrolling across the screen. It comes bundled up with the screen saver below, plus a bunch of other more hideous creations. Try to ignore the Comic Sans. For Windows.

Handwritten Clock Bundled with the one above, this cool screen saver displays the time with several small photos of each digit drawn on paper. As each digit changes, a real-life hand comes in frame to erase the old one and draw the new. For Windows.

One of the best alarm clocks that is available is the Philips Wake-Up Light. Instead of relying on annoying sounds, it uses light, which triggers a hormonal response in our bodies, which in turn wakes us up. However, the only problem is its price.

A feature that is really neat on this Moshi Alarm Clock is that you control it with your voice. In essence, you can tell it to shut up in the mornings and it will go quiet. While this might not be the best idea for people who talk in their sleep, it will work well for most of us, who just want a bit more time in bed.

This alarm clock lets you do quite a bunch of things with your voice, from programming the alarm, the time, the radio presets, and a few other things. It’s available for $70 over at the Moshi store.

The editors over at Etsy liked Dee Adams’ Oakland home and studio so much they’ve included it in their Get The Look: Decor section. Christine, a writer and editor at Etsy, took the studio as a starting point and put together an amazing list of furniture and objects all from Etsy sellers. She’s done a great job. Here’s just a few of the cool things she found.

1. A red in/out tray from Found Vintage Style.

2. Orange desk lamp from Vintage on the Make.

3. Laser cut bamboo calendar and clock from Decoy Lab.

We’ve had a good response to Dee Adam’s Oakland setup. A lot of you wanted to know where the cool desk clock came from. Dee got it at an online store based in Hong Kong called Homeloo. The white one below is $65, the orange is $47.

A large part of organizing a day is keeping track of the time. This screensaver by the clever people at 9031 harkens back to the cool digital clocks of the 70s. I found it on Nicole Balch‘s blog, Making it Lovely. I’ve invited Nicole to share the rest of her home office. Stay tuned for more…
