A small friction that adds up fast
It sounds minor. But when you're mid-conversation, already screen-sharing, and you need to quickly confirm whether 3pm London is 4pm Rome or 9am New York — every extra step breaks your focus. I tried browser tabs, sticky notes, online world clocks. All of them required switching context. None of them just lived on my screen.
So I built TimePeek
TimePeek is a lightweight floating widget that lives on your Windows desktop. It shows the current time across multiple cities at once — always visible, always accurate. Collapses to a minimal bar when you don't need it. Hover to reveal the full clock panel instantly. Snap it to any screen edge or float it freely. It works alongside anything: a video call, a coding session, a document. It just sits there, doing one thing perfectly.
What it does
Multiple time zones
Add as many cities as you need and reorder them with drag & drop.
Hover to expand
Collapses to a pill when idle. One hover reveals the full clock panel — no clicks needed.
Snap to screen edge
Pin it to any corner or edge. Or float it freely anywhere on your desktop.
8 accent colors
Match your setup. 8 accent options plus a separate card color.
Runs at startup
Toggle startup launch on or off. It's there when you boot, or not — your call.
11 languages
Interface in EN, IT, ES, FR, DE, PT, ZH, JA, RU, AR, KO.
Who it's for
Remote workers, freelancers, developers, and anyone who regularly coordinates across time zones. If you've ever grabbed your phone just to check what time it is somewhere else — TimePeek is for you. One-time payment of €4.90. No subscription, no cloud, no account. Just install and go.
