Show HN: FlipCloc for Mac out now. A gorgeous flip clock and screensaver

https://flipcloc.com
2•moonalien•1h ago
After months of work FlipCloc for Mac is finally here. I’ve always wanted to make an app and seeing it on the App Store is something I’m extremely excited about! App Store link - https://apps.apple.com/app/id6786569507

One app, two ways to use FlipCloc. On first launch, choose either App or Screensaver. If you want both, you can unlock the other option with a one time in app purchase. No subscriptions, no ads. FlipCloc costs $9.99 and the in app purchase another $9.99

FlipCloc is the prettiest and most customizable flip clock availalbe. Personalize every single aspect of the clock, fonts, colors, flap design, sounds, backgrounds, and more. Customize it to match your aesthetic, style, or your mood

FlipCloc is gorgeous, aesthetic, and a great productivity tool. Use it to stay focused while working, track your sessions, run Pomodoro timers, or just watch the time pass by

Refinement, smooth animations, and optimizations are all things I take very seriously. FlipCloc is highly optimized so you’ll never see hear your Mac fans spinning up, or notice throttling or excessive battery drain even if you leave FlipCloc running for hours or days as people often do

Additionally, there are some manual resolution and fps controls if needed to optimize performance even further with automatic resolution optimization, hiding seconds when idle in screensaver, dynamic resolution boost based on screen size, and more

A few features the native FlipCloc Mac offers over the web version

- A distraction free UI: Completely hide the entire UI including title bar and menu - Resize to a tiny window: Make the app very small and place it any where on your screen. Smaller than Picture in Picture mode with no snapping to corners and no checking if your browser supports PIP - Drag by clicking anywhere: At smaller window sizes FlipCloc can easily be moved across the screen by tapping and dragging anywhere on the app - Keep on Top: Always keep FlipCloc above your other windows - Follow across Spaces: FlipCloc will follow you across your MacOS virtual desktops - Screensaver: Use FlipCloc as a gorgeous screensaver with glass, rain, underwater effects and more. Smoothly launches with a gentle animation - Works offline: FlipCloc Mac runs locally and works without an internet connection - Local presets: All your settings are saved locally - No login required: Mac licensing is saved to your Apple ID

And there’s much more. You can learn more here - https://flipcloc.com/mac-app

You can try FlipCloc for free on the web - https://flipcloc.com

There has also been a ton of work put in such as a gorgeous glass effect, masking the background in sync to seconds or the pomodoro, an entire website to help people read about FlipCloc, and more. View all changes at https://flipcloc.com/changelog

Since launch people have accumulated over 2 years of total runtime with FlipCloc, and I’m so glad to see so many people finding use in something I’ve built. The Mac app has been highly requested, so I’m very excited to finally release it

Always happy to hear feedback, questions, feature requests, or ideas to make FlipCloc even better. Ask me in the comments or get in touch -> https://flipcloc.com/contact. Feel free to send in FlipCloc desk setups too if you purchase the Mac app!
