Peaclock is a responsive and customizable clock, timer, and stopwatch for the terminal.
The clock output changes depending on the selected mode and view. The mode determines the clock value, while the view determines how that value is presented. The clock, timer, and stopwatch modes can be displayed with an ascii, digital, or binary clock view. The clock can be customized, such as changing the width, height, colour, padding, and margin. When in auto size mode, the clock becomes responsive, filling up the full size of the terminal. The clock can also be set to conform to a specific aspect ratio, allowing the clock to auto resize without becoming stretched.
This is free and open source software.
