How this display works
Every design is a structurally different composition, not just another color. Switch with arrow keys or swipe, open Settings for seconds, time format and the text-color palette, and press F for fullscreen. When a mobile browser blocks native fullscreen, Desmarto opens the same design in an immersive browser view instead. Choices are stored only on this device.

All displaysWhat is Clock Screensaver?
Slow, dim, honest screensavers — minimal OLED-safe drift and a kinetic ambient orbit.
Clock Screensaver is for panels that stay on for hours. Both scenes render near-black surfaces, keep brightness low, and move gently — a slow position drift (Minimal OLED) or a slow orbital accent (Kinetic Ambient) — so static elements never sit on one spot of the panel.
Best for
- OLED TVs and monitors used as ambient clocks
- Reception and hallway screens
- Bedside or low-light environments overnight
How to use it
- Open the page and press F for fullscreen.
- The scene drifts on its own; there is nothing else to set.
- Move the pointer or tap to reach the exit control.
Devices
Built for OLED and long-idle LCD panels; also pleasant on e-ink-adjacent displays thanks to minimal redraws.
Customization
12/24-hour format and a favorite scene; deliberately no seconds and no photos to keep redraws and brightness low.
Fullscreen behavior
Designed to spend its life in fullscreen; Escape returns here whenever needed.
Honest limitations
Screensaver movement reduces but cannot 'repair' panel wear — treat brightness discipline as the real protection. No date blocks by design, to minimize static content.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the scenes move so slowly?
Slow drift spreads pixel wear over hours, not minutes — rapid motion would defeat the purpose.
Is it safe to leave on all night?
That is its core use case: near-black surface, low brightness, continuous gentle drift.
Why no seconds?
Seconds force constant repaints. The screensaver updates once a minute by design.
Does reduced-motion stop the drift?
Yes — with prefers-reduced-motion the scene holds a calm, static composition.
