❤️ You can support DeskTick by sponsoring or by downloading from Microsoft Store
🚀 First Release
A clock for your Windows desktop - sixteen faces and no clutter. Frameless and transparent, it sits on your wallpaper, stays put through Show Desktop, and remembers its place.
- Sixteen faces: Analog, digital, word clock, terminal, banner and more. Pick one from the right-click menu, or double-click the clock to cycle through them.
- Per-face customization: Colours, numerals, ticks, the date line, 12- or 24-hour time. Each face offers only the options it actually has, and one button resets it to its original look.
- Frameless and transparent: No window and no background - it draws straight onto your wallpaper, and drags from anywhere.
- Any size: Resize from the right-click menu puts a grip in the corner. Position, size and every option are remembered.
- Survives Win+D: Show Desktop leaves it where you put it.
- Optional extras: Always on top, start with Windows, a system tray icon, seconds on or off.
- Native and tiny: Software Direct2D, around 1 MB, under 10 MB of RAM. No .NET, no Visual C++ redistributable, no background service, no runtime of any kind.
- Twenty languages: Matched automatically to your Windows display language.
- No telemetry: Nothing collected, nothing sent, no account, no internet needed.
📦 Installing
Each download is a zip. Unpack it anywhere and run DeskTick.exe - there is no installer.
Keep the lang\ folder beside the exe. It is what gives you the other nineteen languages; without it the interface is English.
Settings live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\DeskTick.ini, so the folder you unpack into can be read-only and nothing is left behind elsewhere.
🪟 First Launch (Unsigned App)
Windows SmartScreen may warn you when running the .exe directly (non-Store download):
- Click More info on the SmartScreen dialog
- Click Run anyway
The Microsoft Store version is signed and verified - no warning.
