  1. 🖥️ Update v28.2: No More Sleeping Screens!

    Announcement

    We know exactly how most of you use Clockface Online: you pick the perfect aesthetic, set it up on your second monitor or a laptop stand, and get into the zone. But there’s always been one annoying interruption—having to wiggle your mouse every 15 minutes just to stop your computer from going to sleep!

    With version 28.2, we’ve fixed that for good.

    ✨ The Always-On Display Feature

    • Automatic Wake Lock: We’ve integrated a modern browser feature that politely tells your PC, Mac, or tablet to keep the display awake as long as your Clockface tab is visible. Set your clock, step back, and let it run all day—no mouse-wiggling required!
    • Battery Smart: If you switch to another tab to read an article or answer an email, the app instantly releases the wake lock to save your battery. The second you click back to your clock, it automatically grabs the lock right back. Simply refresh your page (Ctrl+F5) to load the latest update! Set up your aesthetic, enjoy the uninterrupted focus, and let us know what you'd like to see next. 🕰️✨
  2. 🚀 Version 28.0: The Focus Forest Expansion & Mobile Polish

    We’ve been hard at work upgrading the Focus Center, squashing bugs, and making sure Clockface Online looks gorgeous on every device. Here is everything new in this massive update:

    🌳 The Monthly Focus Challenge

    Win Free Clock Club Plus! We’ve introduced a brand-new monthly challenge. If you can stay focused and grow 1,000 trees in a single calendar month, you will automatically unlock a free month of Clock Club Plus!

    Track Your Progress: You’ll now see a sleek new progress bar in your Focus Center showing exactly how many trees you need to hit the monthly goal, along with a dedicated monthly stats tracker.

    The Top 10 Leaderboard: The community rankings have been refined to exclusively showcase the Top 10 Planters. Rack up those focus minutes to claim your gold medal!

    ⏱️ Smarter, More Reliable Timers

    Cloud-Synced Focus: We’ve completely rebuilt how focus time is calculated. Trees and minutes are now permanently hard-tied together (1 tree = 5 minutes) and perfectly synced to the cloud. You can switch between your phone and your laptop, and your Forest will never miss a beat.

    Bulletproof Audio Chimes: Tired of the timer finishing silently? We’ve replaced our audio links with a custom, browser-native synthesizer. When your focus time is up, you are guaranteed to hear a beautiful, reliable chime.

    Cleaner Custom Timers: We replaced the clunky "60m" button with a sleek new "Custom" toggle. Need to focus for exactly 42 minutes? Just hit Custom, type it in, and get to work without cluttering your screen.

    📱 UI Polish & Mobile Upgrades

    Perfect Mobile Navbar: We tightened up the spacing and sizing of the bottom glass navigation bar. It now perfectly fits on smaller mobile screens without stretching off the edges.

    Bigger Focus Modal: We expanded the default height of the Focus window so you can see your beautiful Forest stats and the Leaderboard without immediately having to scroll.

    Visible Dividers: We added a subtle drop-shadow to the glass dividers on the navbar, meaning they won't magically vanish anymore when you apply a pure white background.

    As always, thank you for the incredible feedback! Keep planting those trees, and let us know what you want to see next using the Feedback button! 🌲✨

  3. 🚀 The "Deep Focus" Update is Here!

    Announcement

    We’ve spent the last few weeks listening to how you use Clockface Online, and we realized you needed more than just a beautiful way to track time—you needed a way to master it.

    Today, we are transforming your clock into a full-blown Productivity Dashboard.

    🎵 Your Music, Your Way

    Introducing the Draggable Spotify Player. Whether it's Lo-Fi beats or heavy metal, you can now embed your favorite playlists directly onto your clock.

    Pro Tip: Log in to Spotify in your browser to hear full tracks!

    Privacy First: Your playlist link is saved to your account and is never shared with the community.

    ⏳ Master the Flow: Focus Timer

    Our new Focus Timer is built for students and deep-thinkers.

    Quick Presets: Snap to 5, 15, 30, or 60-minute sessions.

    Custom Control: Set the exact time you need to hit that deadline.

    Tab Tracking: The remaining time shows up in your browser tab title—perfect for when you're working in other windows.

    🌧️ Create Your Atmosphere: Ambient Mixer

    Silence can be deafening. Use our new Sound Mixer to layer your perfect background noise:

    Heavy Rain, Crackling Fireplace, Summer Forest, or a Bustling Cafe.

    Mute All: One click to silence everything when the phone rings.

    📝 The Scratchpad (Sticky Notes)

    Never lose a "lightbulb moment" again. Our Sticky Note window auto-saves your thoughts as you type.

    Private & Secure: Your notes are for your eyes only. We've built a "Security Wall" to ensure they are never published to the community library.

    🎨 Sleek New Interface

    Smart Tiling: Open all your tools at once! They will now smartly pathfind their own space on your screen without overlapping.

    Expanding Navbar: Hover over the icons in the top-right to see helpful labels that guide your flow.

    Mobile-First Design: We’ve moved the controls to the bottom on mobile devices for easy "thumb-access."

    Ready to level up your study session? Click the Hourglass or Headphones icon in your navbar to start building your perfect workspace.

    🪄 A Sleek New Interface

    Glassmorphism Floating Navbar: Our new semi-transparent "floating pill" menu stays out of your way and looks gorgeous on any background.

    The Settings Drawer: No more bulky pop-ups. Our new side-drawer lets you tweak your clock’s size, weight, and color while watching the changes happen in real-time.

    Smart Feedback: A new "Current Font" badge shows exactly what style you're using, and our smart input will catch typos for you!

    🌿 The New Aesthetic Palette
