Every digit is drawn dot by dot on an actual 5x7 grid — the same way a real LED scoreboard or calculator display works, not a font dressed up to look retro. Runs as a page you can leave open instead of software you install.
The dot-matrix digits read like a real arcade scoreboard or CRT terminal rather than a plain sans-serif readout — pin it to a corner of your stream or second monitor.
If your desktop already leans dark-mode-and-monospace, this fits the same visual language instead of looking like a stock OS clock widget.
Pixel Amber and Pixel Red glow without being a harsh white light source — dim enough to read across a dark room without lighting up the whole space.
Sits well next to a CRT monitor, arcade cabinet, or retro console shelf — the dot-matrix glow matches 80s/90s gaming hardware far better than a modern flat-panel clock widget would.
No settings menu to dig through — four steps and it's running.
There's no loading screen to wait through — every dot is lit as soon as the page opens, and it holds up whether you're using a phone, a laptop, or a second screen.
Settings holds all eight glow colors behind one tap, and your pick carries over the next time you're back.
Format, seconds, and the date each get their own switch in Settings — flip any one of them without touching the glow or the others.
The fullscreen button strips the browser away, leaving a standalone LED marquee; pair it with Keep Screen On if you don't want it dimming while you're away.
The short list of what's under the hood.
AM/PM or 24-hour, rendered dot-by-dot in the same 5x7 grid as the rest of the display — no separate font swap needed.
Green, Amber, Red, Blue, Purple, White, Cyan, and Pink — eight glow colors, all drawn on the same real dot-matrix grid.
Strip the browser tab away entirely and it reads like a real scoreboard or arcade marquee, not a webpage.
Backed by the Wake Lock API, so the display keeps glowing instead of your laptop deciding to sleep on you.
Open it on a phone, a tablet, or a spare monitor — the dot grid scales cleanly at any size.
Nothing calls home to a server — everything renders client-side, and your settings live in this browser, not an account.
What people usually want to know before switching to this one.
It's a real dot-matrix rendering — each digit is drawn dot by dot on a 5x7 grid, the same way a physical LED scoreboard or calculator display works. It's not a font styled to look blocky; the grid is genuinely built that way.
Yes — eight colors are available in Settings, including Green, Amber, Red, Blue, Purple, White, Cyan, and Pink, each with its own glow intensity.
Yes. Because the background is transparent-black and the glow reads clearly at a distance, it holds up well as a small on-screen element in OBS rather than needing to fill the whole frame.
The amber and red variants are dimmer and warmer than the green — most people use those two for a dark room rather than the brighter green.
Only if you turn on Keep Screen On in Settings — it's off by default so the pixel clock doesn't override your device's normal sleep behavior unless you ask it to.
Yes — Purple, Cyan, and Pink pair naturally with RGB keyboards and case lighting, while Green and Amber lean toward a classic monochrome-terminal or arcade-cabinet look.
