I don’t want to have to log into my alarm clock anymore.
“Ditch Windows” is a fair answer. I’m working on it.
Web app might be best. I’d start with one built into a search engine. Try duckduckgo or brave search.
Just install Linux, it’s time.
I opened this post just to confirm there would be this reply.
😂 pretty much the reason I posted it.
Pee your pants to warm your legs 🙃
OP is working on ditching Windows.
Well then work faster dammit!

Is this real? The alarm app requires login?
I searched it and found there were some cases of people being asked to login when they used the clock app but it appears to have been a bug.
I don’t know why that app would even have the code to request a login. It’s a clock.
Probably part of some base template Microsoft uses.
But what do you need, do not take it wrong but you can just use a physical clock. Do you want system integration? Or what exactly?
Not exactly a replacement but I like www.sharpworldclock.com.
I needed something that display time from various countries in long straight horizontal bar and I needed it to speak out the time in the language I am learning. It doesn’t seems to be open source though, but I can’t find anything else similar.
It wouldn’t be too hard to make an open source version of this. I’d offer to do it, but I’m busy at the moment. You could ask a local college professor to make an assignment around this though. It would be a great learning project for a student.
Thank you. That will be cool, No worries if you have no time it is not critical. Screenshot below is how I have sharpworldclock setup currently as a single horizontal strip.
Listing out my requirement for anyone interested in such a project.
- A non fancy clock that display time of various countries in a thin horizontal bar size of a typical windows title bar. Include name of country/city or abbreviation, customization. see screenshot above.
- always on-top
- click through
- speak out time in language preferred, TTS
- some basic multi-zone scheduling alarm features
- meeting planner, displays all the times in my list to assist in planning meetings.
- other stuff like sticky notes, weather, news feed are bonus, not important.
Actually if it can display the various clock in the taskbar it will be even better, like 1stClock https://www.1stclock.com/world-time-zone-clock.php I like how 1stClock is non-intrusive, small and out of the way and boring, no fancy graphic or UI.
A open source program like 1stClock that display multiple time zone in task bar and speaks out time at certain interval will be good enough for me. Or maybe I just need to find a separate program that speaks out time in my preferred language.
Actually, if there’s a website that shows what you want, you could use my Stream Overlay app to show that in an always on top, click through window.
That is pretty cool actually, might try it for language learning while playing game, especially for games that can only work in full screen.
Does your app allow clicking? in this way I can run DeepL translator app to region capture and use it to OCR and translate the text that I captured in game, while playing game full screen.
You can open windows in either click through or click mode. If they’re click through, you can focus them from the tray icon, then click on them. You can also open multiple overlay sets in different modes.
I wonder if there’s a Linux clock you could run under WSL?
I mean, there’s these ones, for example:
You can download them as Flatpaks and then this guide says supposedly allows running Flatpaks under Windows: https://github.com/AbelFalcon/Run-Flatpak-Windows11
I’m guessing, the Xming thing is needed for graphical applications? I have no idea, if that’s what people generally use for that…watch -n 1 dateThis is beautiful.
