Do you get frustrated when your clocks aren't showing the correct time? How about when two clocks in the same room are out of sync by one aggravating minute? Clock Setter is here to save the day! Many electronic devices these days are connected to the Internet and have the ability to synchronize the current time automatically, but you still own devices such as microwaves, ovens, and wrist watches that must be set manually... And accurately! Clock Setter is a helpful utility for doing just that. Clock Setter displays the precise current time, including seconds, with an optional count down five seconds leading up to the following minute. The countdown makes it effortless to focus on the control buttons for setting your device's time rather than missing the exact moment of setting because you needed to be looking at your phone.
