TickDock
A real clock in your Mac's dock.
TickDock replaces your dock icon with a live clock — analog, digital, or fully customized. Pick a face, design your own, and watch the time tick on.

Right in your dock.
Your clock lives where your eyes already go — the dock. No extra windows, no menu bar clutter. TickDock replaces its own dock icon with a live, ticking watch face that updates every second.
Design your own watch face.
Build a personal analog or digital clock from the ground up. Every change you make in Settings applies instantly to the dock icon, with a live preview pinned at the top of the panel so you never lose sight of the result.
Designed for personalization
Custom analog watches
Round or rectangular dials, Roman numerals, inner dial, day/night indicator, and per-element colors for hands, numerals, second hand, and dial.
Custom digital clocks
Pick any font installed on your Mac (or one of the built-in display fonts), set colors and glow, fine-tune size and position.
Add & remove faces
Create as many custom faces as you like. Delete the ones you no longer use. Built-in faces can be reset to factory defaults.
Smooth or ticking seconds
Choose a sweeping seconds motion or the classic per-second tick — for every analog face you create.
12- & 24-hour formats
Optional leading zeros. The time reads the way you think about it.
Live preview
Settings keeps a live preview of the active face pinned at the top while you scroll through options — see every tweak before you commit.
Click the dock icon to start
TickDock launches into your dock and stays there. Click the icon at any time to open Settings, pick a different face, or tweak your current one. Turn on Open at login so your clock is ready the moment you log in.
