Clock

Keep track of your day at a glance with Clock :clock:.
Your current time stays visible at the center of your Momentum dashboard, helping you stay aware of your schedule without leaving your new tab.

Choose between a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, or switch to Percent Clock to see how far you've progressed through your set hours of the day.

💡 Why it helps: Keeping time visible makes it easier to stay mindful of your schedule, track your progress through the day, and manage tasks and deadlines without constantly checking another app.

Choose your Clock format

Customize how Clock :clock: displays time on your dashboard. You can use a standard 12-hour or 24-hour format, or switch to Percent Clock for a different way to visualize your day.

Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour

You can change your time format from Settings :settings-2: or directly from the Clock on your dashboard.

From Settings

Open Settings :settings-2: → General.
Scroll to Formats & units.
Select Time format.
Choose 12-hour or 24-hour.

From your dashboard

Click ••• beside the current time in the center of your dashboard.
Find 24-hour clock.
Turn the toggle on for 24-hour time or off for 12-hour time.

💡 Tip: If you've added World Clocks :momentum-world-clocks: as a metric, changing between 12-hour and 24-hour format also updates the time format used by your World Clocks.

Switch to Percent Clock

Percent Clock replaces the standard time with a percentage showing how far you've progressed through your set hours of the day.

Click ••• beside the current time in the center of your dashboard.
Next to the current Clock mode, click the switch icon :repeat:
Select Percent of the day.

💡 Tip: Percent Clock uses the Hours of the day set under Settings :settings-2: → Balance → Uptime Schedule. It doesn't calculate the percentage from a full 24-hour day.

Set your hours of the day

Your Percent Clock is based on the Uptime Schedule you've selected in Balance settings. You can choose both the hours and days that make up your schedule, even when Balance Mode itself is turned off.

To set your schedule:

Open Settings :settings-2: → Balance
Under Uptime Schedule, choose your Hours of the day:
- 8:30–4:30
- 9:00–5:00
- 9:30–5:30
- Custom — Momentum Plus.
Choose the days for your schedule:
- Weekdays
- Every day
- Custom — Momentum Plus.
Your Percent Clock automatically updates based on the schedule you've selected.

Fix common Clock issues

The Clock shows the wrong time or won't update

Momentum uses the time and timezone set on your device. If your Clock displays the wrong time or timezone, check your system settings first.

Check your computer's system time and timezone.
Restart your browser and open a new Momentum tab.
If the timezone is still incorrect, see Clock displaying incorrect timezone for more troubleshooting.
If the issue continues, try resetting or reinstalling your browser.

The Clock isn't showing up

On narrower screens, there may not be enough room to display every dashboard element. Adjusting your browser zoom can give Momentum more space and bring the Clock back into view.

Zoom out in your browser:
- Windows: Ctrl + -
- Mac: Cmd + -
Continue zooming out until the Clock reappears.

FAQs

:::faq

Q: Can I show more than one time format at once?

A: No. Clock displays one format at a time. You can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats from Settings :settings-2: → General → Clock Format, or switch to Percent Clock from the Clock menu on your dashboard.

Q: Does Clock use my computer's timezone automatically?

A: Yes. Momentum uses the time and timezone from your device's system settings. If the displayed time looks incorrect, check that your device's time and timezone are set correctly.

Q: What does Percent Clock show?

A: Percent Clock shows how much of your selected Hours of the day has passed. It's based on your Uptime Schedule under Settings :settings-2: → Balance rather than a full 24-hour day.

Q: Can I set a custom range for Percent Clock?

A: Yes, with Momentum Plus. The standard Hours of the day options are 8:30–4:30, 9:00–5:00, and 9:30–5:30. Momentum Plus lets you set a custom range under Settings :settings-2: → Balance → Uptime Schedule.

Q: If I switch to 24-hour format, will my World Clocks change too?

A: Yes. If you've added World Clocks as a metric, they follow the same 12-hour or 24-hour format as your main Clock.
