What are the benefits of having an offline World Clock Software?

A world clock on your Windows desktop can help you significantly with organizing your daily life, if you are dealing with people in different time zones. Employees must know the office hours for their collegues and customers in other countries, brokers have to know the opening hours of stock exchanges. And for everybody else it is good and useful to know what time it is in a distant city, where a friend or relative is living, so you know when you can call him or her or expect an answer to an email.

Although it is easy to find websites that show the time in other time zones, it is inconvenient and time consuming to find the exact information you are looking for online, on an ad-cluttered website. Sharp World Clock works offline on your desktop instead - you can have an always accurate world clock program, hidden by default if you like, but visible on demand to show the exact time in any major city on earth.

There are more time zones than you probably are aware of, ranging -12 to +12 hours from UTC and many of them follow complicated daylight saving rules. These rules have to be considered besides the UTC deviation, which makes it difficult to calculate the time difference of two cities, without having a dedicated world clock program. In the northern hemisphere daylight saving rules are in place during the months of summer, while in the southern hemisphere it is active during the winter. Sharp World Clock uses an integrated list of currently 357 IANA time zones, which is updated about 3 times a year. Besides being able to show as many clocks as you like, in every possible design and configuration, this world clock features several additional functions and components, like weather report, alarms, a time zone converter, a calendar widget and more.

This world clock is not just an ordinary time tool, but also an attractive decoration for your desktop and a useful collection of tools for your daily life. Once you have tried it, you will not want to live without it anymore - and a lot of users confirmed that in enthusiastic reviews. Give it a try and join thousends of satisfied users all over the world!

Calendar Widget

This image shows the top right corner of a Windows desktop in an example configuration with a single (undocked) clock, showing the local time and the resizable calendar widget (can show 1, 2, 4 or even 6 months - here set to 2 months, vertically), which is also included in this world clock. You can show your appointments inside the calendar as small triangles in different colors: - appointment details are shown on mouse-over. The calendar uses your local settings, so the first day of the week, the months and the weekday names ar localized. Notice the color gradient - the calendar widget can use a solid color or a color gradient, including partial transparency! A mouse click at the clock shows or hides the main window with several clocks for other cities and time zones. This is a recommended setting, but you can also just have the main window with multiple clocks - hidden by default or visible all the time. (Click to magnify)

Weather Reports for every major City in the World

Weather Report and Forecast

One of the integrated tools of this world clock is a world wide weather report, which is updated every 2 hours. It shows the current weather conditions, a 3-hours-interval forecast for the current day and the forecast for the next four days, with minimum/maximum temperature (°Celsius or °Fahrenheit), wind speed and wind direction. Also shown are the sunrise and sunset time and an icon of the current moon phase, with information about the next full moon and new moon.

Info Popup

There is an optional info tooltip/popup, visible on mouse-hover on any clock, showing some additional information, including the current weather for the selected city:

My World Clock Buddy

Date/Time strings in the interface are using local language settings (here: German), but the digital clocks can use any language for the time and date.

Time Tool for Companies and Traders with Office Time / Active Time of any Location

Dim Clocks outside Daytime or customizable Office Hours

You can easily distinguish cities within and outside a certain time span ('office hours', the default is 8 AM - 5 PM) by dimming clocks outside that time span. This is adjustable from 0% to 90%. Instead of office hours you can also select the daylight hours (time between sunrise and sunset) of every city in the world clock.

Variable Date/Time Format and Design - multiple Hands and Clock Face Options; 24 Hours Clocks

This world clock features 13 variations of hour/minute hands and 10 variations for second hands available and 6 variations for numerals: 4/6/12 positions upright, 12 positions rotated, 4/12 roman numerals.

24 Hour Clock

The last clock shows the 24 hour mode, where the hour hand makes a full rotation in 24 instead of 12 hours.

New in version 8.6: Sky Strip (day / night indicator)

The sky strip is an additional indicator for the day/night status of a city. It shows a symbolic representation of the sun, moving at the sky from sunrise to sunset. The height is adjustable (in the screenshot the height is set to 15 of 1..20). During the night the strip is shown black. For users on the southern hemisphere of the earth the direction can be changed from left->right to right->left.

The sky strip can optionally show the office hours status instead (or additional to) the sky simulation. The first and the last hour of office time is shown in a different color.

Exact Time for every Time Zone or City in the World on your Desktop, with correct Daylight Saving Time (DST)

The included city database contains every city with a population of 15,000+ and every capital city. Even an array of 21 world clocks like in this screenshot is no problem for Sharp World Clock, it can easily handle that and many more! The clocks in the picture are using the same design, but this is not required. After assigning a general design template to all clocks, you can make changes to some clocks, to make them look differently:

UTC Clock

Instead of cities you can select UTC/GMT or military time zones for the world clocks - just select 'Time Zones' in the continent list and select the time zone in the city list.
