HamClock Launcher 1.3

Bundles HamClock 4.23 and updates backend server selection for the Open HamClock ecosystem.

What's New

  • Three-way backend selection replaces the previous ClearSkyInstitute / custom-server toggle:
    • Open HamClock Backend (ohb.hamclock.app:80) — the new default
    • hamclock.com (hamclock.com:80)
    • Custom Open HamClock Backend — enter any host:port
  • Automatic migration of server preferences on first launch. Users on the legacy ClearSkyInstitute server are moved to the Open HamClock Backend. Saved custom hosts matching a preset are mapped to the corresponding radio button; all other saved hosts remain under the Custom option with their value preserved.
  • Bundled User Guide — HamClockKey.pdf now ships inside the app and opens in your default PDF viewer. No external website dependency.

Under the Hood

  • HamClock website links and About dialog updated to reflect the Open HamClock project.
