Numeric Clock — numeric date & time for the GNOME top bar

Numeric Clock is a lightweight GNOME Shell extension that turns the top-bar clock into a numeric, configurable date and time — DD/MM/YYYY, ISO 8601, 24-hour or 12-hour, with seconds, weekday or ISO week number.

What you get

• Any strftime format, with a live preview and a built-in format-codes cheat sheet
• 8 one-click presets (International, weekday, compact, time-only, ISO 8601, ISO + week number, US 12-hour, top-bar only), each with a live sample
• Ticks exactly on the second; invalid formats fall back instead of blanking the clock
• Panel icon: click for the quick menu, right-click for Preferences, middle-click to copy the time (configurable)
• Menu style: System, Light or Dark
• Restores the stock GNOME clock the moment you disable it
• No network, no telemetry · MIT licensed

Latest: v17.7.0 — GNOME Shell 45–51

• 17.7: About and Donate in the quick menu; the menu always opens under what you clicked
• 17.6.1: the format field now saves only on Enter, so a stray key press can't change your clock
• New in 17.6.0: System/Light/Dark menu style and distinct panel icon clicks
• GNOME Shell 51 support, redrawn crisp panel icon, rebuilt preferences, and an audit of the clock engine — see the changelog
• Release tag is SSH-signed and the zip has a Sigstore build attestation: gh attestation verify numeric-clock@nickotmazgin.v32.shell-extension.zip -R nickotmazgin/Linux-Numeric-Date-And-Clock

Session compatibility (honest scope)

• X11 / Xorg: maintainer runtime-tested on Zorin OS 18.1 / GNOME Shell 46
• Wayland: v17.7.0 passes the nested GNOME Shell (Wayland) smoke test
• GNOME 47–51 follow the official porting guides

GNOME Shell 42–44 is no longer supported. Upgrade to GNOME 45 or newer.
