I don't want to have to log into my alarm clock anymore.

"Ditch Windows" is a fair answer. I'm working on it.

Thank you. That will be cool, No worries if you have no time it is not critical. Screenshot below is how I have sharpworldclock setup currently as a single horizontal strip.

Listing out my requirement for anyone interested in such a project.

  • A non fancy clock that display time of various countries in a thin horizontal bar size of a typical windows title bar. Include name of country/city or abbreviation, customization. see screenshot above.
  • always on-top
  • click through
  • speak out time in language preferred, TTS
  • some basic multi-zone scheduling alarm features
  • meeting planner, displays all the times in my list to assist in planning meetings.
  • other stuff like sticky notes, weather, news feed are bonus, not important.

Actually if it can display the various clock in the taskbar it will be even better, like 1stClock https://www.1stclock.com/world-time-zone-clock.php I like how 1stClock is non-intrusive, small and out of the way and boring, no fancy graphic or UI.

A open source program like 1stClock that display multiple time zone in task bar and speaks out time at certain interval will be good enough for me. Or maybe I just need to find a separate program that speaks out time in my preferred language.
