CornerTime displays the current time in a screen corner, remaining visible when the menu bar is hidden or during fullscreen application use. The app addresses a specific workflow issue: accessing time information without cursor movement to reveal the menu bar.
The display supports customizable time and date formats, including 12-hour and 24-hour options. Corner positioning remains consistent across applications and system states. Multi-display configurations are handled automatically, with the time display adapting to monitor changes without manual adjustment.
The app size is 525 KB with negligible system resource usage during continuous operation. This minimal footprint ensures no detectable performance impact.
Localization supports 10 languages. The interface integrates with macOS aesthetics rather than appearing as an overlay.
Developed by Antidull LLC, the app has received recognition in digital minimalist communities, including a “Best App Nomination” for its focused execution.
System requirements: macOS 13 Ventura or later.
Pricing: $1.99 (one-time purchase) via Mac App Store.
Limitations: Single-purpose utility with no additional features. Users seeking combined functionality (timers, alarms, world clocks) need separate applications. The always-visible display, while intentional, may conflict with certain application interfaces or overlay content.
Alternatives: The built-in macOS clock requires menu bar visibility. Dato provides extensive calendar and time zone features but requires menu bar space. Day One Widget offers desktop time display as part of a journaling app.
Suitable for users who work primarily in fullscreen applications or with hidden menu bars and need persistent time visibility without additional complexity.
