Exactly what I needed.
For the last few weeks, I've been trying to increase my productivity by getting rid of time tracking. So I decided to hide my computer's clock.
Sometimes, like when I have an appointment, I still need to check what time it is. Googling "time" doesn't always work (I don't know why exactly). So I bookmarked this site [1] but the information density is so high that I need to scan the page in order to get the time.
Time.is works quite well, with useful customization options, though it still carries bits of useless information (like the time zones at the bottom). But the time's font size is big enough to trigger instant focus.
UPDATE: as guptaneil pointed out, clicking the time (or navigating to http://time.is/just http://time.is/just) removes all the clutter. Thanks for the tip.

- guptaneil 15y agoAccidentally found this, but tap the time to make the rest of the page fade away. Or go to http://time.is/just http://time.is/just
- ElliotH 15y agoI'd favor this now, but for Google I find the phrase "<place> time now" works more consistently than just "time".
- icebraining 15y agoWhat OS do you use? I usually just type 'date' on the terminal.
- bbx 15y agoMainly Win 7. Otherwise Mac OS X. Sometimes Win XP, and very rarely Ubuntu. But I almost never have a terminal open (and don't have a shortcut for that either) whereas Firefox almost always is. So I'm just 1 click away rather than 4 characters away. You taught me something though (I highly prefer typing on a keyboard than using a mouse or, worse, a touchpad) and I wish I had to spend more time in a terminal.
- sbierwagen 15y agoWhy not? I usually have a terminal open for irc / bc -l / git / checking the headers of pages with curl -I, pinging things, WHOIS lookups, wgetting files, etc etc etc.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoBecause he's mainly in Windows? I avoid the command prompt like the devil there too.
- bbx 15y agoI'm no developer, so I never have to use the terminal. But now that you mention how you use it, I'll probably give it a try.
