Mechanical Clock 3D App Reviews

A nice bit of analogue in a digital world. This is a neat program, with a couple of issues. First off, the background is so busy that it’s actually difficult to see the clock hands; they just don’t stand out enough from all the stuff going on behind them. Second, this app looks nice, but it would look AMAZING if it were Retina resoultion — which it is not. I run it on my laptop with a second monitor (connected via Thunderbolt DVI adaptor). If the program is displaying on the second monitor and I disconnect that monitor, the program gets confused. The sounds continue, but the image is gone (which makes sense, as the monitor is no longer connected.) But if I reconnect the second monitor, the clock doesn’t reappear. Then if I change the monitor settings to my laptop screen and back, the clock continues to display on the laotop screen and not the second screen. So long story short: it gets confused with multiple monitors. Restarting the app fixes this issue. I would like to have more granular sound options — for example, I’d like the ticking to be pretty quiet, but the chimes should be louder. Only one sound setting.

Beautiful. Wish there was a plain-jane option for easy reading sometimes.

I love this application…I only wish it had the hot-corners option like the iMac screensavers. Other than that…it’s on my monitor for life!

The clock is beautiful and the chimes and ticking sounds are soothing in the background. thank you!
