Support & FAQ
Where are the settings?
Click the clock icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen to change the style, opacity, size, language and more. Clicking the clock itself does not open settings — clicks go to the app underneath.
I can't find the menu bar icon
On Macs with a notch, menu bar icons can be hidden when there are too many. Hold ⌘ and drag other icons to make room, or check that SheerClock is allowed to appear in System Settings › Menu Bar.
I can't move the clock
Hold the ⌘ key and hover over the clock. While the white border is shown, you can drag it. If it ends up off screen, choose "Reset Position" from the menu to bring it back to the top-right corner.
How do I start it automatically?
Turn on "Launch at Login" in the menu. It is off by default.
How do I quit or uninstall it?
Choose "Quit SheerClock" from the menu. To uninstall, quit the app and move SheerClock from the Applications folder to the Trash.
Requirements
