Lazy Clock gives you a natural language view at the current time. For example, rather than 8:47, you see "Quarter Til Nine". This can lower the stress of watching the clock as it slowly ticks from 8:47 to 8:48 and so on, since minute-to-minute accuracy is rarely necessary in daily life.
Cloki

- Personalize clock appearance
- Display calendar appointments
