Product Description:

More than a clock! Displays the current level of natural light (daylight, twilight, or night), moon phase information, local times and country flags for cities throughout the world.


VelaClock is a unique widget in that it is completely self-contained. Many widgets are light weight front-ends to web services; such widgets require an internet connection. By contrast, VelaClock is designed to function without an internet connection, and so is particularly useful for laptop users away from their home or office. Astronomical calculations are performed by an internal code module.


The lower pane in VelaClock displays detailed information about the currently selected city. There are three different views, accessible through tabs:

  1. A bar that gives the user a picture of the 24 hours of natural light (bright daylight, civil twilight, nautical twilight, astronomical twilight and night) for the current day. The duration of daylight is specified in hours and minutes.
  2. An image of the moon as seen in the sky above the currently selected city. This image accurately depicts the angle of the moon's crescent. Because this angle can change dramatically within the span of an hour, it is updated once a minute, as is the moon's phase. This view also contains the name of the current phase, as well as local times for the next and previous phase events (new, quarter, full).
  3. An analog clock and time zone information. The relative time shows the number of hours the selected city is ahead or behind the current time zone, as set in System Preferences.

What's new in this version:

  • Show Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time for the selected city. This text appears to the right of the analog clock.
  • Added about 25 new cities.
  • Added new locations in Antarctica and the Arctic .
  • Fixed problem related to automatic checking of new software.
  • Increased height of the back of the widget to improve scroll bar functionality.
  • Initially display 12 or 24-hour time format based on user's region, as set in System Preferences.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

This is a very handy widget. I had used a previous version with no trouble and this new version is working fine. It is particularly helpful when traveling to farflung locations or dealing with people in different timezones.
