xdaliclock is an advanced xclock substitute

xdaliclock (Dali Clock) is a digital clock. When a digit changes, it “melts” into its new shape. The date is displayed when the mouse is pressed. The window can be made transparent, and foreground and background colors change smoothly, and it works as a countdown timer.

It is available for Linux (X11), macOS, iPhone, iPad, Android, Palm WebOS, PalmOS Classic, Monochron, Pebble and TRS-80 CoCo.

This is free and open source software.
