Nimbus Desk Clock

Six screens

A glance tells you everything

Nimbus cycles through its pages every ten seconds, or press the button on top to flip. The weather icons are animated: the sun turns, the rain falls, the lightning flashes.

Six Nimbus screens: digital clock, analog clock, current conditions, four-day forecast, 24-hour temperature graph, sun and moon

Thoughtful inside

Small clock, big brain

Finds its own home

Works out your town and time zone from your internet connection. Daylight saving takes care of itself.

Settings on your phone

Hold the button and scan. Every option is on one page, with a live copy of the clock's screen so you see each change as you make it.

Kind to its screen

Dims right down at night (or goes dark with a tiny heartbeat dot), and shifts the picture a pixel each minute to keep the OLED even.

Your units

°F or °C, 12 or 24 hour, mph or km/h. It picks your country's usual ones on day one.

No strings

Free weather from Open-Meteo. No account to create, no app to install, nothing to pay each month.

Updates over WiFi

New features install from the settings page. Your settings stay put.

The case

A tiny retro monitor

A chunky bezel, a tapered back and a gentle 12° lean, so the screen looks up at you from the desk. It's 3D printed and snaps together, with no screws or glue. The button sits on top and the USB-C socket is tucked away at the back.

Front of the retro case: a rounded bezel with a large window

Back of the retro case: vent slots, the USB-C socket and the button on top
