About:
Vtclock is a lightweight, text-mode application that renders a large digital clock in a terminal window. It operates in fullscreen mode, making it ideal for systems without a graphical environment. Its primary value is providing a highly visible, unobtrusive time display for monitoring or timing tasks.
Key Features:
  • Fullscreen text-mode display
  • Configurable colors and fonts
  • Low resource usage
  • Simple keyboard controls
Use Cases:
  • System monitoring in headless server environments
  • Presentation timing and countdowns
  • Desk clock for minimalist desktop setups
Alternatives:
  • xclock – xclock is a standard X11 graphical clock, whereas Vtclock is designed for terminal use.
  • tty-clock – tty-clock is a similar terminal clock, but Vtclock offers different styling and configuration options.
