How to Configure

FlipCloc offers a suite of settings to tailor your tracking experience. Fine tune how you like your Stopwatch.

  • Control the flow: Use the Start, Stop, (Spacebar) or Reset (R) buttons to manage your timing session.
  • Toggling Modes: Use the first slider to move between Clock, Pomodoro / Timer , and Stopwatch modes instantly.
  • Seconds: Toggle seconds to show or hide the seconds flap. Disabling seconds also unlocks the Continuous setting explained below.
  • 60 FPS: Control the refresh rate of the clock.
  • 4K: Toggles the resolution at which FlipCloc runs.
  • Continuous: This setting only appears when seconds are disabled. This controls whether background animates continuously or only for a small duration at every minute.
  • Picture-in-Picture: Use the Enable Picture-in-Picture button (or press I) to float a small version of FlipCloc over other applications.

Pro Tip: Underlined letters (like Clock or Pomo) or letters in brackets (like (I) for Picture-in-Picture) indicate keyboard shortcuts. You can trigger these actions directly from your keyboard for lightning-fast control. Check out the full shortcut guide for a complete list.
