Like any clock, Clockmate will tell you what time it is, but it will also let you choose from dozens of clock faces, styles, and colors. If you work with folks in a different time zone, you can even set up multiple clocks to know at a glance what time it is in numerous places.
In fact, this program offers so many options for telling time, users may never get a chance to try them all. Its interface is quite simple: a default clock instantly opens for users, but if it does not meet your needs, simply right click and a menu appears. Here you can choose a clock, clock styles, window states, window positions, time zones, colors, and more. There are over 30 different styles of clock to choose from and any number of them can be displayed together. Users can even set each to a different time zone to meet their needs.
Our biggest complaint is Clockmate’s lack of visual guides. With so many choices it can take a long time to discover the clock you prefer. If there were thumbnails to go along with each, it would be much easier to make a selection. However, this 40-use trial provides a great selection and simple menus that cannot be overlooked. If you are seeking a clock to download, this should be the first place you look.
