01_what_it_does
what it does
A clock that wears your game library. It reads art already on disk, runs it as a slow slideshow behind the time, and gets out of the way.
A slideshow built from art you already have
It scans the folders Clarity and EmuLatte already fill: heroes, covers, screenshots, or your own wallpapers. Nothing to import. No library? It just shows the time.
Click a game to open it
The name under the art is a link. Click it and Clarity or EmuLatte opens on that game's page. If the app is running, it goes to the open window.
93 palettes, one picker
Full parity with Clarity: ten families, from ricing classics to twenty retro operating systems with their own era typefaces. Every palette previewed in its own colours, applied live.
Wear any font
Seven interface faces, each previewed in itself. All bundled, nothing fetched at launch.
Run as many as you like
Launch it again and again, each one independent. A minimal one in a corner, Ken Burns on the second monitor, a splash on the third.
Frameless, always on top, out of the way
A borderless window that floats above the rest. Drag it, size it, add it to your application menu with one button.
Local-only. Yours.
Reads your libraries read-only, writes one small settings file. No account, no telemetry, no network.

Complete on its own, happiest next to the libraries it draws from.
OPTIONAL
Clarity
“from chaos comes clarity”
Where most of the art comes from. Steam, GOG, Epic, Flatpak, itch.io and PICO-8 in one binary. Keep it beside the clock and the art appears on its own.
OPTIONAL
EmuLatte
“I use RetroArch BTW”
The emulation side: a ROM library across 56 systems, with a gamepad-first Couch Mode. Its art feeds the same slideshow, and a click opens EmuLatte on that game.
