Features & Capabilities

The Nixie Clock Widget brings a nostalgic vibe directly to your Chrome browser with its retro-style old-school Nixie tubes display. This simple yet functional clock allows you to show time or date in customizable formats, including 12hr/24hr time and different date orders (DD.MM or MM.DD). You can tap the widget to quickly access alarm clock or calendar settings for added convenience.

Additional features include displaying seconds, adjustable tube tint coloring, and options to display time, date, or user-defined text below the tubes. Designed to appear both on the home screen and lock screen, the widget is optimized to minimize battery consumption, though showing seconds may increase usage. A free version is offered, with a deluxe upgrade available for enhanced functionalities and higher resolution tubes. This extension blends vintage aesthetic with practical functionality for Chrome users seeking a unique clock experience.

User Reviews

Overall, the widget has striking visuals and a simple, lightweight UI that many users keep on their home screens. But stability is a major issue: it frequently freezes or stops updating time, sometimes requiring reinstalls. Some users can’t download or place it, and alarms/clock functions aren’t always accessible from the widget. Others note limited formatting options and a sense that the developer isn’t actively maintaining it. Great concept and visuals, but reliability and ongoing support need improvement.
Pros
  • Striking visual Nixie-tube aesthetic on the home screen.
  • Simple, realistic UI that is easy to use.
  • Lightweight and snappy performance compared with other widgets.
  • Visually appealing and widely kept on the home screen due to its look.
Cons
  • Frequent freezes and time stops; clock stops updating.
  • Requires uninstall/reinstall or reattachment to fix.
  • Download/placement issues; may not appear on screen or download properly.
  • Limited functionality (alarms not accessible via the widget) and limited formatting options.
  • Perceived lack of ongoing development or active maintenance.

one day after install, it completely lost track of time

My favorite clock app, but I have to uninstall/reinstall every 2-3 days because it freezes. Wish there was an update, but these days, I treat it like needing to wind a mechanical clock every few days.
