Description

An always-on clock that packs time, seconds, weekday and a rotating widget onto a single 32×8 panel.

Anothertime is a compact "everything at once" clock face: a big HH:MM readout with animated digit
transitions, a seconds-progress bar, a weekday indicator, and a small rotating widget (date /
temperature / humidity / battery) in the corner — all on the same screen, all the time.

This app is still evolving — some things below (widget timing, a couple of colors) aren't
configurable yet and are hardcoded for now. It's fully usable as-is.

The script is compacted to stay compatible with the default 8192 bytes limit (it won't last...), the original source code is available at https://github.com/toinux/awtrixng

Requirements

  • AWTRIX NG. No PSRAM or extra memory needed — the script draws everything with primitives, no icons.
  • Time sync (NTP) strongly recommended. The clock, the seconds bar and the weekday indicator
    all read the device's wall clock; before it syncs they simply won't show meaningful values.
  • Temperature / humidity sensor: optional. If your board has none, those two widgets just
    show -- instead of a reading — nothing breaks.
  • No network requests, no API keys, no icons required. Everything is drawn on-device.

What you see on screen

  • Time (top-left, large digits): HH:MM. The colon between hours and minutes fades in and out
    once a second. When the minute changes, the two affected digits animate from old to new — either
    a fade cross-dissolve or a scroll (digits slide past each other), your choice.

  • Seconds bar (bottom-left, columns 0–16): fills left to right over the course of each minute,
    with a softly-fading pixel at the leading edge instead of a hard cutoff.

  • Weekday indicator (bottom-right, columns 18–31): a small row of dots/segments showing where
    in the week you are, in one of four visual styles, with today highlighted in its own color.

  • Rotating widget (top-right corner): cycles automatically between:

    • Date — day of the month, with a little calendar icon
    • Temperature — from the device's sensor, one decimal, with a thermometer icon
    • Humidity — from the device's sensor, rounded, with a droplet icon
    • Battery — from the device or from a MQTT topic, with dynamic battery icon

    Each switch cross-fades smoothly between the outgoing and incoming widget (icon and value together).

  • The time's color automatically follows your device's Time color setting (or Default text
    color
    if that's unset) — including live changes, no restart needed.

Settings

Go to the Apps tab → the menu on Anothertime's row → Settings. Saving restarts the app.
