FAQ
General questions about CyberClock features, configuration, and troubleshooting.
CyberClock is a premium cyber-neon styled desktop clock application that combines a clock, calendar, timer, stopwatch, and relaxation module into a single lightweight app.
Yes. CyberClock is free and open source under the GPLv3 license. You can help keep it free here.
Yes. CyberClock works fully offline. Only auto-update checks require internet.
Yes. Go to Settings → Appearance → Time format.
Yes. Toggle "Show seconds" in Settings → Appearance.
Yes. Set a custom Clock Name in Settings → Appearance. An inline reset icon restores the default wordmark.
Yes. In Settings → Appearance, hide the analog clock and the calendar takes the full width of the full-mode Home view.
A retro CRT monitor overlay. Toggle it in Settings → Display (mini mode).
Yes. Select a day in the calendar and open the note editor — Ctrl+Enter saves, Esc closes.
Yes. Moon phase icons are displayed for each day.
Yes. Use the 9 preset buttons (1m to 2h, including 25m Pomodoro) or set a custom duration.
The "Time's up" overlay appears with an audible alert; press Esc or Dismiss to close it.
Press the Lap button while the stopwatch runs.
Yes. Click Copy to copy the lap table for pasting into other apps.
Best lap, worst lap, average lap, and delta vs average.
Night, Forest, Outer Space, Ocean, Rain, and Fireplace.
Yes. Ctrl+Click any track card to blend it as a layer over the playing one (e.g. Rain + Fireplace). Layers fade in and out independently.
A true pause: audio, session timer, breathing pacer and tips freeze in place and resume exactly where they left off. Space toggles play/pause in the Relax view.
A one-click shuffle that plays all 6 tracks in random order.
If global audio is muted, the Relax view shows a banner with a one-click Enable button. Also check the Relax volume in Settings → General and your system volume.
Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) and 4-7-8 Breathing.
The primary source is procedural synthesis via the Web Audio API — no loops, infinite variation. Bundled audio files act as fallback.
Yes. Settings → Alarms → Relax Scheduler: pick a start time, repeat interval, track and duration.
Yes. Up to 3 custom alarms with day-of-week repetition.
Yes. Select "Custom sound" — the file is copied into the app data folder so it survives reinstallations.
Enable the schedule window in Settings → Alarms and set start/end times.
Crystal Bell, Soft Chime, Neon Arp, Zen Gong, Aurora, and Music Box.
A compact always-on-top clock bar that stays visible over other windows. Each of the 12 skins has its own dimensions.
12: Cyber Bar Pro, Holo Display, Digital Matrix, Glass Orb, Neon Circuit, Zen Minimal, Sunset Pulse, Frost Crystal, Neo Tokyo, Obsidian, Synthwave and Quantum.
A Sunset Pulse (skin 7) option that follows your local sun position.
Yes. Settings → Mini Mode → Lock position.
Yes. Enable Click-through from the tray menu or Settings → Display. (The toggle lives outside the mini window because it stops responding to clicks while on.)
Yes. Use the Zoom control (tray menu or mini context menu): 0.5×, 1×, 2× or 4×.
The installer offers it (pre-checked), or toggle Settings → General → Start with Windows. Both manage the same registry entry, and the app reconciles the setting with the real registry at every boot.
The app checks GitHub Releases on startup (configurable in the About window) and can install updates automatically. Manual check: About window → Check for Update.
Expected for new releases until Windows builds enough reputation for the file — see Installation & Setup: click More info, then Run anyway.
