Horologe

Nobody sent it.
It’s just three o’clock.

A desk clock for your Mac. It marks the quarters, strikes the hour, and otherwise keeps to itself.

Turn it up. A bell is mostly the part that comes after.

  • macOS 15 or later
  • Silent from 10 pm until 8 am. One click hushes it.
Horologe’s menu bar panel open on a Mac desktop, beside the clock, with the Mantel face ticked.

Four faces. Take the one your desk asks for.

Press one. The clock wears it for the rest of the page, and on your desk afterwards.

Every face is drawn in code, sharp at any size. The clock on this page is the clock you get.

Five bells. Press one.

Our honest advice for the first week: hour strike only, volume low.

An unretouched screenshot of a Mac running Horologe: the real menu bar along the top with Horologe’s bell among the other icons, its settings panel hanging open beneath — the master switch on, the five chimes with Westminster ticked, the four faces with Mantel ticked, the quarters and hour strike on, quiet hours from 22:00 to 08:00, the desktop clock at size 420, and a footer reading Horologe 1.0 (1). The brass Mantel clock sits on the desktop below, behind everything.
Not a mockup. A screenshot, taken at 23:45 — which is why the panel says Quiet hours.

Horologen. — a timepiece; any instrument for telling the hour.

Three o’clock is coming either way.

You’ll spend the afternoon at this screen regardless. The only question is whether anything marks it.
