TikClock

English | 简体中文

An OpenAction plugin for OpenDeck that displays a digital clock across your deck keys — one digit per key.

Split the current time (HH:MM:SS) into individual digits and lay them out however you like: a full 8-key clock, a compact 3-key layout using two-digits-per-key mode, or anything in between.

Features

• One digit per key — assign any position of HH:MM:SS to any key
• Two digits per key — compact mode showing full hours/minutes/seconds in a single key
• Blinking colon — optional, synced to seconds
• 12 / 24 hour clock — 12h mode drops the leading zero naturally
• Custom colors — text and background color per key
• Run command on press — every digit doubles as a launcher (cmd /C on Windows, sh -c on macOS/Linux); leave empty for no action
• Localized settings UI — English and 简体中文, following the host language
• Lightweight & defensive — single ~1.4 MB native binary; differential rendering sends only changed frames (~3 messages/s for a full 8-key clock), with staggered forced refresh, invalidation debounce and a per-tick send cap so it can never flood the host or device

Example layouts

Layout	Keys	Positions
Full clock	8	H H : M M : S S
Compact	3	HH MM SS (two digits per key)
Minimal	2	HH MM
