Clover

Nothing special, just a normal always on top clock for macOS. Why? There is a severe lack of such applications for mac that aren’t a massive cash grab.

Like, really? Subscription based IAPs for a clock app?

Prerequisites

Required to have macOS 14+. If you have an older version of macOS, let me know, and I'll see if I can modify and rebuild a version you need.


Installation

  1. Download the latest .dmg release from the Releases section.
  2. Open the .dmg and drag Clover.app into your /Applications folder.
  3. First Launch (macOS Gatekeeper): Because this app isn't signed with a $99/year Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block it on first run. To open:
    • Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.
    • Scroll down to the security section and click Open Anyway next to the Lantern block notice.

Updates

If you have any feature ideas, please do let me know, and we can work on that swift-ly (pun definitely intended). Plus, if you find any bugs, or memory leaks (I hope not), mention them in the issues panel, and I would love to take a look. Peace!

Clover is officially running stable. Check out the release page to grab the latest DMG build!
