CLUSTER TIME-CLOCK-TERMINAL · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-03-15
Novelty terminal clock apps
This cluster covers clock utilities that render the current time in novelty formats (binary, flip, word, seven-segment, themed faces) typically as terminal or desktop widgets. Entries appear sporadically across 15 years before the index start, with no clear growth shape. desktop-clock leads on traction with 1 star, while binary-clock and python-clox have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 15 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
