Add it to your Denframe

Opens Night Clock in your own Denframe's Library, where you choose Get. Only its id is in the link: nothing about your home comes here.

In Denframe: Studio → Library → Get more → Add by id.

  • The desktop app answers only on its own computer (127.0.0.1), at a port that can change: open Denframe from the app, then use Add by id.
  • Your browser opens your Denframe’s address itself. Some browsers ask before a public website opens an address on your home network (Local Network Access): allow it, or use Add by id.

  • The time alone, in the muted text colour
  • Gentle in a dark bedroom

Layouts that use it

  • Night Stand · A muted clock, the next 24 hours of plans and a three-day sky on a lamplit night-blue canvas. Nothing bright enough to keep you awake.
  • Salon Evening · An artwork out to the edges of the screen, cropped with care, and a quiet 12-hour clock over it, in Salon's oxblood and gilt.

Drawn in

Nocturne · A deep night-blue ground, warm parchment type and a lamplight amber accent. Blocks sit straight on the canvas, close to the edges.
