Flip Clock Screensaver

Open the clock, press F for fullscreen, and leave it alone — after three seconds every control fades out and all that's left is the time, flipping softly. The whole picture drifts by a few pixels every three minutes, so static pixels never sit long enough to burn in. An old iPad or a spare monitor can run it for hours.

  • On a Mac

    Open this page in Safari, Chrome or Arc and press the fullscreen button (or F). The clock fills the display, controls fade after three seconds, and the screen is kept awake.

  • On Windows

    Open it in Edge or Chrome — on the desk or second monitor — and press the fullscreen button. Nothing to install, no display settings to change.

  • On an iPad

    Open it in Safari, use Add to Home Screen for one-tap access, then go fullscreen. The numerals drift slowly to help prevent burn-in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn this into my screensaver?
Open the clock in fullscreen — the button below does it in one tap, or press F. Then stop moving the mouse: after three seconds the controls fade and only the clock remains. Move the mouse or press Esc to bring them back.
Will it burn into my screen?
The entire clock drifts by a few pixels every three minutes, so no pixel stays lit in the same spot long enough to leave a permanent mark. It is designed for idle displays — old tablets and spare monitors included.
Does it work on an iPad or an old tablet?
Yes. Open the page in Safari, use the share menu's Add to Home Screen for one-tap access, then go fullscreen. The display stays awake while the clock ticks, so you can leave it on a stand indefinitely.
