How to use it
A clear, quick workflow
- Choose 24-hour or 12-hour display.
- Read the ordinary clock first, then compare each binary column.
- Add the weights beside the bits marked 1 to recover each value.
Binary Clock
Read the current time as labelled binary values.
00:00:00
Add the weights of the on bits in each column. The 1 and 0 labels keep every state readable without color.
Example
A seconds column showing weights 32 + 4 + 1 represents 37 seconds.
Limits and behavior
The clock follows the device clock and local time zone. Updates align to real second boundaries rather than accumulating interval ticks.
FAQ
Do I need color vision to read the bits?
No. Every bit contains a visible 1 or 0, uses a distinct border style, and has a screen-reader label with its weight and state.
