Flip clock — fullscreen clock for studying
your timezone · keys: F fullscreen · T themes · Z timezone · S seconds · H 12/24
A flip clock, in your browser, free: press F and it fills the screen — the classic split-flap cards, redrawn every minute (or every second, if you switch seconds on). It keeps your timezone, remembers your settings, and comes with 170+ themes on a searchable scroll wheel — from pure monochrome to the entire palette collection the monkeytype community made famous. No app to install, no account, and it will never show an ad — it's the clock we wanted while studying, so we built it into the site.
Why students prop this on a second screen
A big, calm clock does something a phone can't: it shows the time without offering a single other thing to look at. Fullscreen it on a laptop or tablet beside your books and time stays visible while your phone stays face-down. When a deadline matters more than the hour, the same idea scales up: the days left in the year, the year-progress bar, or this week's number — time, made visible, is the whole point of this site.
A study clock for exam season
When the syllabus is long and the date is close, an online study clock for students beats a phone on the desk: open this page, press fullscreen, and the hours stay visible without a single notification. It works on any device — a laptop, a tablet, or yesterday's phone propped against your books as a dedicated study clock screen. Pair it with an honest exam countdown (today to your exam date, exactly), and if you want the countdown living on your desktop wallpaper too, that's what the Mac app does.
Use it as a clock screensaver
Fullscreen (F), a dark theme, seconds off — and a spare screen becomes the classic flip-clock screensaver look, no download needed. One honest difference from an installed screensaver like Fliqlo: a browser page won't start by itself when the machine idles — you press F once when you sit down. In exchange it works on any device with a browser, themed your way, for free.
Like watching time move?
The Mac app puts your whole year on your desktop — every week a dot, re-drawn automatically at midnight.
Questions
How do I make the flip clock fullscreen?
Click the fullscreen button (or press F). The clock fills the whole screen — press Esc or F again to exit. On a second monitor it makes a clean desk clock for studying.
Does it show seconds?
Yes — toggle the seconds card with the SEC switch (or press S). Off is calmer for studying; on is better when you're timing something.
What themes does it have?
179 of them, searchable on a scroll wheel (press T): our monochrome Midnight and Paper, plus the full palette collection from the monkeytype community — serika dark, dracula, nord, gruvbox, rosé pine, and everything between. Your pick is remembered on this device.
Is there a 24-hour mode?
Yes — the 12/24 switch (or press H). Your choice is remembered on this device.
Is it really free? No ads?
Free, no ads, no account, nothing to install. It runs in your browser in your own timezone. Popular alternatives charge for themes and timezones or interrupt studying with ads — this one never will.
Is this like Fliqlo?
Same flip-clock aesthetic, different mechanics: Fliqlo is a screensaver you download and install. This page runs in any browser — laptop, tablet, or a spare phone propped against your books — with themes Fliqlo doesn't have.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — the clock, themes, and timezone picker all work on mobile. On iPhones the fullscreen button uses a full-page view (Safari has no true fullscreen); on Android it goes properly fullscreen. An old phone on a stand makes a great dedicated study clock.
Will the screen stay on?
The clock asks the browser to keep the screen awake while it's fullscreen (supported in Chrome and Edge; Safari and Firefox may still dim). If your screen sleeps anyway, raise the sleep timeout in your system settings while you study.
