FlipClock

FlipClock is here to bring back that cool flip clock vibe right on your screen! Lately, it seems like flip clocks are making a little comeback. While they work pretty much like digital clocks, they definitely have a unique style with their classic flipping display. Those digital clocks might look sleek with their big numbers, but there's something nostalgic about a flip clock that just hits differently!

Why Choose FlipClock?

If you're a fan of flip clocks and want to add some flair to your workspace or home, FlipClock is the perfect choice for you. This neat little screensaver simulates a flip clock right on your computer. Plus, it works on both Linux and Windows systems! It’s built using SDL2 (not SDL1) and plain C, so you know it’s reliable.

Easy Installation on Linux

The best part? You don’t need any extra software to run FlipClock on your Linux machine! It just requires SDL2, SDL2_ttf, and the basic C standard library. Simple as that!

Multi-Display Support

A cool feature of FlipClock is its multi-display support. Just keep in mind that if you want to add or remove monitors while using the app, you’ll need to restart it after making changes. First set up your monitors, then fire up FlipClock for everything to work smoothly.

Nostalgic Feel

This screensaver perfectly captures the classic look and feel of an old-school flip clock—though it doesn’t quite replicate those satisfying flipping sounds! For many people, these clocks add a touch of retro style or even nostalgia.

How to Get It

You can easily install this fun screensaver from its official Flathub page, or if you're feeling adventurous, you can build it from source by checking out its GitHub repository.

User-Friendly Options

The app supports configuration files and CLI arguments (check out the Configuration section on GitHub). But honestly? Most users will probably just enjoy it without tweaking those settings.

A Stylish Replacement

No matter if you're into them for their vintage look or just love the nostalgia factor, FlipClock is a charming substitute for an actual flip clock. It's an easy-to-use screensaver for both Linux and Windows that works beautifully right away! So why not give it a try? You can download FlipClock here!
