Fliqlo: A minimalist flip-clock screensaver
Fliqlo is a clock screensaver that transforms your desktop or laptop screen into a classic flip clock. When activated, it displays the current time with a flip animation in large white numerals against a black background. The design emphasizes visibility, making it easy to read the time even from a distance. It functions exclusively as a screensaver, meaning it appears only when your device is idle.
Fliqlo recreates the look of a traditional flip clock, complete with animated flipping numerals. The large white digits and black background provide strong contrast, ensuring clarity across various lighting conditions. Its bold, minimal presentation makes it suitable for both workspaces and home environments where a clean, distraction-free display is preferred.

Customization and display options
While Fliqlo maintains a focused and minimalist design, it includes several practical customization features. Users can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time formats, choose between landscape and portrait screen orientations, adjust the screen brightness with a dimming option, show or hide the flip flaps, and reduce the display size.
On macOS, there is also an option to display the clock on a single primary display or across multiple displays. These settings allow users to personalize the screensaver to their screen setup and viewing preferences while preserving its signature flip-clock appearance. However, visual customization remains intentionally minimal, with the classic white-on-black design and flip style kept consistent.
A clean and timeless screensaver experience
Fliqlo adds a touch of classic charm to your screen by turning it into a bold, easy-to-read flip clock. The large numerals and smooth flipping animation make checking the time feel simple and satisfying, even from across the room. With flexible display options and a clean design, it’s an easy way to give your desktop a timeless, polished look.
