Overview

What is Transparent Clock?

More than just a clock — it's your complete focus companion for distraction-free study sessions.

Transparent Clock (also known as Clock Overlays) is a lightweight Windows desktop application that keeps a minimal, always-on-top clock visible on your screen at all times. But it's much more than a simple clock.

Behind the transparent overlay lies a calm, organized dashboard packed with productivity tools: a Pomodoro timer for focused work sessions, the hardcore Prep-Meter (War Mode) for serious exam tracking, a To-Do list for task management, Focus Insights for tracking your study patterns with heatmaps and graphs, and a suite of utilities including QR code tools and URL shortening.

The app was designed with a core philosophy: your data belongs to you. There is absolutely zero telemetry, no cloud storage, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything runs locally on your machine. The few online features (QR generation, URL shortening) are opt-in and clearly marked.

Created by Deep Dey, a class 11 student and JEE aspirant, Transparent Clock was born from a real need — having a visible clock during study sessions without constantly checking the phone. It grew into a full productivity suite that helps thousands of students stay focused.
