A Bauhaus-inspired clock screensaver for Mac, designed to be present even when you’re not. Watch precision meets digital aesthetics, enhancing your workspace even when you’re away.
$19 for lifetime upgrades.

Update (2025-04-21): Atilla:
The screensaver is currently unavailable.
Since it’s based on the Max Bill watch dial, I’ve taken it offline to clarify design rights and avoid any IP issues.
Update (2025-06-06): The screensaver is back, with everything redesigned and a new custom typeface.

It looks beautiful but it’s currently unavailable. Intellectual property claim from Junghans?
Like with the iOS clock that Apple copied? https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/m/cip/2013-01/08/content_16095837.htm

Just checked — it’s actually available again now.
That said, $20 for a screensaver, especially one that seems heavily inspired by an existing design, feels a bit much.
There are some really solid (and free) alternatives out there:

Hard to justify the price when these look just as good.
