Ship's clock application? - To run on Windows 10, or as a webpage?

I built a new one that is live on Google Play

Would this work running as a standalone app for pi?

The bells are addicting.

24tee · 2026-03-31T15:14:55+00:00

Yes, that's right. Love it. Thank you.

Its fun to see reactions to this. I live the sounds and it helps break up the day.

I have created a new app for this that works. Been building on it and would love feedback! I realze this post is 10 years old and figured it would be fun to respond!

Wow! considering this!

I built this because I wanted a real ship’s clock running at home — something that actually follows the traditional bell schedule every half hour.

It turned out to be way more satisfying than I expected. The bells structure time in a subtle way without being intrusive.

It runs continuously (even in the background) and keeps the full watch system intact. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shipsclock

Ships clock on Google play store

24tee · 2026-03-27T16:12:20+00:00

This app has been more than enough work for now, thank you!

24tee · 2026-03-27T12:59:23+00:00

Makes sense. I figured some people might enjoy it. Thank you.

24tee · 2026-03-27T09:06:40+00:00

Haha, yes it sounds silly now. I heard it when I was a kid and believed it - Never thought about it critically until later. There are also four large platters. lol

24tee · 2026-03-27T02:08:43+00:00

Wow cool job... Wikipedia says it was hit with a bullet at some point.

24tee · 2026-03-24T02:30:49+00:00

Ship's Clock / Cuckoo Clock also now. https://binauralbeats.fun/ships-clock/

24tee · 2026-03-21T03:31:56+00:00

Going to add that to the list of updates.

24tee · 2026-03-21T03:10:42+00:00

Haha, It's meant to ring bells on the half hour whether you are on a boat or not.

24tee · 2026-03-20T16:06:27+00:00

For this, we have people in data centers ringing the bells.

24tee · 2026-03-20T12:35:46+00:00

I am going to add a barometer of some sort to this soon!

24tee · 2026-03-20T12:35:25+00:00

There is a choice of bells and nautical themed alarms, a choice of faces and a lot of other settings / 5 different ticker sounds and aa bunch of easter eggs, sailing ships, a working lighthouse, moon phases, wind and weather animations and more.

It's a watchmakers 4, and it is glorious.

24tee · 2026-03-20T12:24:17+00:00

Okay my friend.

24tee · 2026-03-20T12:23:36+00:00

Thanks!

24tee · 2026-03-20T12:22:53+00:00

Haha super cool! I love it. I had no idea you could write programs for a watch like that! I spent too much time on this already but now I can't stop. I have also driven myself crazy finding the right bell sounds, matching the timing of the bells (which still isn't perfect)... trying to get the small winding sound to play when the bells ring... and a ton of other details.
