About the Terminal Clock

Terminal renders the time in a pixel font on a simulated CRT screen, complete with a blinking cursor and the faint scan-line character of an old monitor. It is a love letter to early computing.

For programmers and retro-computing fans, it turns a spare screen into a green-on-black command prompt that just happens to tell the time.
