What Are Screensavers ?
Long time ago, screensavers were actually meant to save the screen. Ya speaking literally. Save from what ? Well it happened to be a problem named screen-burn-effect – a permanent deformity on areas of a CRT monitor due to non-moving text or graphics being displayed for a long period of time. To negate this problem, screen savers were used to fill the screen with moving graphics when the computer was idle. But nowadays its sole purpose is to spice up your screen.(Also read : Display RSS Feeds as Windows Screensaver)
Some Free Clock Screensavers
1. Word Clock :
Word clock is a nice replacement for the typical analogue or digital clock that we generally use. It displays the date and time in a sentence. You can select from two display modes Linear and Rotary. The screensaver can be downloaded for iPhone, iPad, Mac OSx and Windows.
2. Fliqlo
Fliqlo is a nice flip style clock screensaver that happens to be my favorite. If you have a habit of keeping your system on for a long period without working on it (or just a download or scan running in the background) then this clock is a nice tool to spice up your PC screen. It is really a nice alternative for a led clock.
3. National Geographic Channel Calendar Screensaver :
This is one of the nicest clock screensaver I have ever used. The date and time is shown in a nice animated fashion. This was the official National Geographic screensaver when I used it. But right now, I have (tried my best and) failed to find out a direct link from their site. Here is an alternate link for the download.
You may also want to check out some desktop tools which allow you to download National Geographic wallpapers for Free
4. In Rumour Screensaver V2 :
Inrumour is not just a clock screensaver. It is actually a weather screensaver too. You get to see the weather forecast for the next 2 days for your locality as well as the present weather update too for the same. The screensaver consists of an analogue clock and shows the date and calendar as well as news from inrumor.com.
5. Time Beat Clock Screensaver :
Time Beat is yet another clock screensaver that only serves the purpose of a clock. It uses a nice screen-beating effect every second. You can have a nice demo of the clock here. Look out for the download link to the bottom right corner of the demo page.
6. Crazyscreen Clock Screensaver :
Crazy screen is a free rotary clock screensaver which shows the time as a nice wheel.
7. Polar Clock Screensaver :
Polar Clock is an awesome clock and calendar screensaver in circles that moves as every second passes. The clock is based upon the idea of polar coordinates. The screensaver is available in 28 languages with numerous options such as text alignment, font size, arc properties, continuous / stepped motion, appearance, colors etc. The screensaver is available for Mac and Windows users.
8. Clockr A Flickr Based Clock Screensaver :
Clockr is a Flickr based clock screensaver that uses random images from Flickr to show the time. It needs a steady internet connection to work properly.
9. Uniqlo Screensaver Music, Dance :
The strangest and most unique clock screensavers among the ones I listed here. All you have on the screen is cute Japanese girls dancing around different exotic locations along with a time and date stamp. The screensaver works in selected countries which are Japan, USA, UK, France, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. Download the application here. You will need a working internet connection to download all the sessions of the screensaver.
10. ClockBlock Screensaver :
It is really a nice way to show clock as a screensaver. The screensaver is available here.

Editor's review
A useful and fashionable retro clock screensaver
This flip-clock screensaver comes courtesy of Yuji Adachi, a Japanese developer who also creates and publishes other free goodies besides screensavers, such as fonts, apps, icon sets and desktop wallpapers. The Fliqlo screensaver, however, appears to be one of his most popular projects, and it's still actively developed. An iOS app version of the screensaver for iPhone and iPad was recently released, and is now available in the App Store for $0.99.
The premise of this screensaver is simple: it turns your screen into an old-fashioned flip-clock that looks much like the electromechanical alarm clocks invented in the mid-twentieth century. These clocks quickly grew in popularity due to their simple but elegant design, displaying the time in large white numerals against a black background. The fun and beauty of this screensaver is that it can effectively turn any Windows or Mac OS X computer into such an elegant and useful clock. The bigger the screen, the bigger the clock.
Some options available to this screensaver, that the original flip clocks did not possess, include the ability to switch between a 12 and a 24-hour format. Furthermore, the size of the clock can be adjusted on a scale of 25% to 125%. These settings can be reset at any time.
The only disadvantage we could find is that it requires the Adobe Flash Player plug-in. However, since this is a safe and free download, and most people will already have it installed on their computer, it shouldn't really be an obstacle.
All things considered, the Fliqlo Flip Clock screensaver is a well-designed and functional screensaver that can be both useful and fashionable in your home or office.
Happily, it's available both for Windows and Mac OS X.

good
I've been using this scrensaver on my big PC for aaaages.
Just got it now for my Surface Go and it's perfect to have it beside me while I play videogames to keep track of time :)
Я думаю что она очень классная
Saw this on someone's screen while watching their Youtube video and I have been searching tirelessly ever since, so glad I didn't give up!
Great
It was a great screensaver until I updated my Mac to the latest IOS Now it won't work since Apple can't control whether the file contains any malware or not.The file needs to be updated to work again.
Says it won't work with the latest iOS on my Mac.
Any time that I go to click on Fliqlo as a screensaver, it automatically defaults to the message option instead. It won't open and freezes when I select it.... any tips?
I really like it and i want to save it in my laptop
It is nice looking screen saver thanks for making this
The windows version has a technical issue with any kind of music players such as Spotify, Pot player and etc. The music plays with lag when the screen saver is running!
It works
ITS SPHERICAL!
Love it!!!
Doesn't work on my macbook air 10.14.6 :(
I LOVE it!
It works properly and very easy to use.
Doesn't work on macOS 10.14.3
Awesome throwback look! I have noticed that in my Windows 10 Surface the screensaver goes black and it locks my system. I've had to restart manually a few times. Finally I stopped using it. Any word on why?
Also, can we have an option to disable to 'Check for updates' feature?
Is good
very good
terrible gave my computer big time issues and drains the battery fast, would not recommend
Mac High Sierra: slight issues with the settings they don't seem to work properly, the zoom function doesn't work neither does the 24 hour :/
Otherwise like the idea :)
cool
Cool
I love this screen saver as it is cool and used in apple which makes it look more cool
Best screen saver I have ever got on the internet.
Be very careful using this screensaver for extended periods of time without change. Because it's very high contrast and the clock face is completely static, you can suffer a burn in (which I did). I'm in the process of fixing it with a wallpaper created in pure white. I have a small sliver left in the repair. I've had this white wallpaper displayed now for 7 days in the repair mode. Be smart, LCD's can suffer burn in.
bello
The flip-clock is a terrible screensaver, when I downloaded it blocked my Mac, the mouse stop working and when it went to sleep mode –it didn't wake up– I had to force it to start again. I had to delete the screensaver app.
it was excellent but the time was two mins behind what i read the from the sun
Best clock screensaver - not battery draining :)
Beware, this screensaver nught look innocent, but it remotely tries to connect with some ip unknown to me. Always remember to block this screensaver from accessing internet ^^ while the screensaver is fine & dandy, i dont understand the motive behind 'requiring internet connection', be very careful what you choose to let in your pc.
Screensavers Planet: It connects to the internet to check for available updates.
Really great screensaver, but after a few minutes the clock disappears. Is there any fix to this on windows 10?
Love the big clock.... but after a few minutes the clock disappears and all there is ..is a black screen. How to keep the clock on all the time?
its super cool !!1
pretty good
this is the best screensaver i've seen in a long time. it redefines brilliance in simplicity.
its so good
a simple but very good retro clock
When I downloaded the screensaver, it was a different font than the pictures displayed. I checked with my sister, because she has the clock I wanted and it was the exact same download (same numbers and year), but mine is not block letters.
Love the Screen Saver!!! But wheres the sound of the numbers flipping? i want the flip sounds to make it seem as real as possible!!! Thanks!!!
Simple and nice looking screen saver. Running on a few Windows 10 computers.
A concern that I have is ... I copied the 314-Fliqlo Setup.exe (Windows) file to my Google Drive for safe keeping. When I try to download that file from my Google drive to any other computer, Google blocks the download and states that a virus was detected.
Screensavers Planet: Thanks for reporting that! I suspect they use ClamAV, among other programs, to scan files for viruses, and ClamAV raises a flag for the file. I have submitted a false positive report to ClamAV and expect the file to be cleared soon.
Installed the screensaver on my Win-Vista system today, love the retro look. Works well as is but when I enter 'settings' for screensaver it brings up a flash window which allows me to make changes (24hr, 125%) but does not save them when I exit. It shows a 'reset' button but no 'save' button, so I'm assuming it is supposed to be automatic upon closing. Any suggestions?
Screensavers Planet: It appears to be an issue with Vista and the latest version of Fliqlo. See this thread on our message board: Adjusting Flip Clock screensaver
Our school uses this as a clock in the ITV studio, and broadcasts it all day long in all the classrooms on their TVs. Teachers will panic if someone bumps the computer and the clock goes out.
I love this screen saver, it's great but I can't get it to stay on 24 clock mode, even though I chose that setting on preferences - any ideas ?
Great screensaver. But after an update i was unable to show 24h time. Too bad!
the screensaver is dope but now i have weird pop ups / notifications that appear asking me to download more stuff and i don't know how to get rid of them. probably will have to delete just based on that.
Screensavers Planet: That is unlikely to be a direct result of installing this screensaver. Feel free to post any questions or concerns to the message board.
Great
I really like it. It's not bright or over complicated. I use it on my laptop that sits on my night stand. It's nice for me, because I wear glasses.. So when I am sleeping. I can just look over, without fumbling for my glasses or trying to find my phone, and know what time it is.
My BIGGEST petpeeve with this. I use 24 hour time. I am always waking up at different times, so it's MUCH easier for me to glance over, look at the clock. Cool. 900.. It's 9am... 2100.. cool. It's 9pm.. This thing has a habit of RANDOMLY switching BACK to 12 hour time COMPLETELY ON IT'S OWN. This has almost made me late to things MORE THAN ONCE! VERY frustrating!
I like this screensaver, I installed it and immediately three of my coworkers installed it also. Looks great!
Not working with the latest version of MacOS at the beginning-- But later it is working amazing!!! Thanks and sorry for previous message.
Screensavers Planet: We recently tested it on macOS Sierra 10.12.1, and it worked just fine. Please post to the message board with details of your problem.
Sick
I saw it on a shabby to sheek decor site offon the designers computer in a small space renovation...LOVED @ first sight.... Good to be a kid in simplier times and even better to be a big kid and combine the two! Thanks for this great functional screen saver!
I have the new MacBook Pro with Retina running on macOS Sierra 10.12.1 and this isn't working. Any suggestions I tried the right clicking method and opening it through there and saving it onto my desktop.
Screensavers Planet: First open the .dmg file you downloaded to bring up a window where three files will be shown. Right-click the 'Fliqlo.saver' file, choose 'Open', then click 'OK'. Failing that, please post to the message board for support.
Very useful
Great
Had it for about 6 months on my Mac that was running OS X Yosemite and it worked wonderfully. Recently updated to OS X EI Captain and it said it doesn't run on this software.. Had to reinstall and it works perfectly again. Never had a problem with this screensaver and looks lovely. 10/10
Be aware, this screensaver tries to connect to the internet.
Screensavers Planet: It connects to the internet to notify you of available updates.
Mine only works when my laptop is charging or plugged in... Is this normal?
I do love this screen saver, and have been using it for ages, however I recently got another monitor, so that I can have two screens when working. When I use just my monitor with the laptop closed, then this screen saver works fine, however when I use both screens, it is off centre and too large on my extra monitor. Some sort of settings that could be changed for multiple monitors would make this screensaver even more awesome :)
This screensaver uses my i5 processor at 50 % !!!
Why?
I can't make it apear on my screen saver because it says I can only use them if they are downloaded in app store
Screensavers Planet: Right-click the Fliqlo.saver file and choose 'Open'. You should then be able to click 'Open' again to install the screensaver.
This is the best screensaver that ever saved my screen. Seriously, I love it. Works perfectly in my Windows 10
awesome!
This unfortunately doesn't work with my current operating system. Is it possible to make an older version?
Screensavers Planet: An older version of Fliqlo for Mac can be downloaded here.
i went into display settings and found fliqlo there. it was extremely easy to adjust the timeout period as with any other screensaver. so 5 stars. dig it. a LOT.
Can i use it on iPhone locked screen or i must run app everytime?
Screensavers Planet: This screensaver is not compatible with iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad, only with computers running Apple OS X or Microsoft Windows. However, a similar app for your iPhone may be available in the App Store.
i love this screensaver!!
But sinds about a week there is only a white screen :-(
hope bug (windows 10) will be fixed soon!
Screensavers Planet: An update should now be available to fix this problem for Windows 10. The update is numbered 3133431. It should automatically install, but if you want to speed it up you can open Windows Update and search for new updates.
I've been using this screensaver and I loved it, untill, like others have said, it randomly stopped working and only shows a white screen...
There was a security update to Internet Explorer Flash Player today. I uninstalled the update and now Fliqlo is working again.
Screensavers Planet: We have dedicated a help page to this issue. For more information, please see: I get a white screen when my screensaver runs?
I've been using this screensaver for year (on Windows), and like others have said, today it randomly stopped working and only shows a white screen. Tried restart and uninstall/reinstall with no luck. I loved it until it stopped working today.
We've used this screen saver for years...it stopped today. Does anyone have a fix?
Check your installed programs. It looks like Adobe downloaded a flash player update today. That must be what killed any screensaver using flash.
My Screensaver also randomly started showing a white screen, has been fine for at least 2-3 years!
my screen went white also today. whats up with that!
I'm also getting the white screen today. Stopped working out of the blue. Anyone figure out why?
I've had this screen saver for years and absolutely loved it. I wake up this morning to find that the screen saver doesn't show a clock anymore...just a white blank screen. I restarted the computer and it didn't help. Uninstalled fliqlo and reinstalled and no luck. Even downloaded the newest version and it still just shows a white screen. Not happy right now.
the best one
it didn't work for me i tried it so many times and it downloaded but when i select it to use it as a wallpaper it doesn't
Screensavers Planet: That won't work because this is a screensaver, not a wallpaper. See our help article Screensavers and wallpaper: what's the difference?
Seems OK so far. Installed easy enough.
Is this only good for ipad and iphone? I wanted to use for my MacBook Pro.
Screensavers Planet: This screensaver will not work on mobile devices such as the iPhone or iPad, only on computers running Mac OS X or Windows.
I tried downloading this screensaver but it says my mac doesn't support this version and to contact the supplier.. does anyone know how to fix this?
Screensavers Planet: This download should support Mac OS X 10.8 and newer. If you have an older version of the operating system, please try searching for an older version of the screensaver, e.g. Fliqlo 1.4, 1.3, and so on until you find one that works.

One thing... It is a bit too bright at night for me. It would be nice if it had brightness control. I adjust the size to small to make it less bright.
