Coming from broadcast, I love studio clocks. They carry that distinct feeling of a studio and everything around it. When I got a Stream Deck, there was no decent on-air clock for one of its keys, so I built one over the 2022 holidays. Since then it has been installed more than 30,000 times by streamers, radio people and anyone who likes a calm clock on their desk.

Features

  • Watch faces: the classic on-air face with a ring of seconds, variants without date or seconds, and a modern minimal face that uses the whole key.
  • Colours: set every colour of the face with a hex value.
  • Date and time: date format of your choice, seconds on or off, 12 or 24 hours with optional AM/PM.
  • Stream Deck +: works on keys and on the touch strip.

Install

Open the plugin in the Elgato Marketplace and click install. You can also download the .streamDeckPlugin file from the GitHub releases and open it with the Stream Deck app.

Support

Something broken, or missing a feature? Open an issue on GitHub. My time is limited, but I read every one, and pull requests are welcome.

What’s next

Version 2 is in the works: a rebuilt plugin with more faces and a cleaner setup. It will show up here first, probably later than planned.
