What is The Word Clock?
The Word Clock is a free minimalist web app that displays the current time in words instead of numbers. It supports six languages: Hebrew, English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Arabic.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. No ads, no sign-up, no tracking. Just open the site, pick your language, and let time speak.
Can I customize the look?
Absolutely. Double-click the time to open settings. You can change the font, text color, background color, and font size. Your preferences are saved automatically in your browser.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The Word Clock works on any device with a browser — phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. It also supports fullscreen mode.
What is The Word Clock Frame?
It’s a physical E-Ink display that shows the time in words, just like the web app. Silent, no backlight, weeks of battery life. Sign up on thewordclock.app to be notified when it launches.
Which languages are supported?
The Word Clock supports six languages: English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Russian, and Arabic. Each language follows its own natural grammar and speech patterns, so the time reads the way a native speaker would say it.
Can I use it as a screensaver?
Yes. Open The Word Clock in your browser, enter fullscreen mode, and it works beautifully as a screensaver or ambient display. Customize the colors to match your room or mood.
When will the Word Clock Frame be available?
The Word Clock Frame is currently in development. Sign up on thewordclock.app to be the first to know when it launches. It will be a physical E-Ink display that shows time in words — silent, elegant, and long-lasting.
