StudioClock turns a Mac into a professional broadcast studio clock
StudioClock turns a Mac into a professional broadcast studio clock. It keeps NTP-accurate time, shows a full-screen clock on a second display, and serves the same live layout to any browser on your network - a TV, a tablet, a kiosk screen behind a monitor - all precision-synced to the master. Everything is driven from one operator desk, and nothing depends on the cloud: if the network drops, the clock holds and never blanks. TIMEKEEPING - Syncs to any NTP time source - from public stratum-1 servers (NPL, PTB, NIST) to a dedicated studio time-server appliance on your own network - Live sync health readout (offset, round trip, server) so you can trust the number - Per-display broadcast delay, so the clock reads what a delayed viewer sees DESIGN YOUR DISPLAYS - 10 broadcast clock faces, from a classic 60-mark studio ring to seven-segment and flip - Drag-and-drop tiles: clocks, countdown, ON AIR, text and logos - on as many displays as you need - Undo and redo every layout edit - Show Mode locks the layout while you are live, so nothing changes by accident ON AIR - Full-screen output on any display, blackout, and a red ON AIR treatment - Countdown with presets, nudge, captions, and count-down-to-a-time (straight into an ad break at 20:30:00) - A menu-bar clock keeps everything running with no window open; Launch at Login lets a Mac act as a dedicated clock server - If the LAN viewer was running when the app last quit, it starts again automatically on launch CONTROL ROOM READY - OSC in: drive it from Bitfocus Companion, a Stream Deck, or any OSC controller - OSC out: live state feedback for buttons and dashboards - TSL UMD 3.1 tally: your vision mixer's program tally lights the ON AIR - LAN web viewer is read-only by design - viewers can watch but never control BUILT FOR LIVE - Autosave with crash recovery: an unclean quit restores your unsaved show automatically - seconds of loss, never a rebuild - Secure network mode: localhost-only binding, an optional viewer passcode, an OSC source allow-list, and a clear REMOTE LIVE indicator while external control is on - First-run setup gets a new operator to a trusted clock in four choices - One-click diagnostics export for support - with logos and secrets redacted Shows are saved as portable files; secrets stay in the Keychain.
