Fliqlo 1.5.1

Fliqlo is a downloadable file that offers a minimalist and customizable clock screensaver for your desktop or laptop. Developed by independent web/UI designer Yuji Adachi, this elegant personalization software turns your screen into a flip clock, providing accurate time in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Available for both Windows and Mac, Fliqlo offers additional customizable features on the latter platform. These include screen orientation options, brightness control, the ability to show or hide the background, and the option to view the clock on a primary or multiple displays.

Installing Fliqlo is a straightforward process. Simply choose the download button for your device's platform version, and the downloaded file will appear in a window or can be manually searched for. Once found, unarchive the software package and double-click the "Fliqlo.saver" file.

Depending on your Gatekeeper settings, you may receive an alert about "unidentified developers." You can either temporarily change your settings or manually copy the .saver file to your library. From the System Preferences, navigate to the Screensaver control panel, find and select the Fliqlo screensaver, and click "Install." The screensaver is now enabled on your desktop, and you can easily customize it by selecting Screen Saver Options.

While Fliqlo offers an efficient and highly customizable tool for office workers, there are a few drawbacks and technical issues to consider. The clock screensaver requires the installation of an Adobe Flash Player plug-in to function properly. Additionally, Fliqlo is limited to a black and white color palette, which may not suit all style preferences.

Some users, particularly on Mac, have reported unusual CPU activity when using Fliqlo. CPU usage spikes every minute while the screensaver is in use, as observed through iStat Menu's history. However, despite these drawbacks, Fliqlo remains an ideal screensaver option for office workers.
