Online flip clock – a full screen flip clock in your browser
How to use this flip clock
The hours, minutes and seconds each sit on their own card. When the time changes, the top half of the card folds down to show the new number, just like a classic flip clock.
Choose 12h or 24h, hide or show the seconds, pick a colour theme and use the size slider. Your choices are saved for your next visit.
Press Full screen or the F key and the controls fade away, so the flip clock fills the whole screen.
About the online flip clock
Flip clocks were popular desk and bedside clocks in the 1960s and 70s. Small cards with numbers printed on them turned over one by one as the minutes passed. Plenty of people still love the look: it's calm, and you can read it from across the room.
This flip clock brings that idea to your screen. It shows the time on soft cards with a fold line across the middle, and every change plays a short flip. If your device is set to reduce motion, the numbers change without the animation.
Prefer something else? The style menu also has a plain digital look, a clean look and the Roll style, where the numbers roll up like a counter.
