Time is one of the most precious resources available and if carefully kept track of or managed, can take you a step closer to success. Anywhere you look around the world there is an increased chance to see a clock, including on your desktop. WorldClock is a simple software application that can fill your workspace with elements that let you know when every second has passed.

Launching the application brings up a rather small window and difficult to navigate in. However, the true treasure lies beyond, when opening the preference menu.

You gain access to a breathtaking amount of customization and display options. The wallpaper can be covered with a world map fitted with the moon and sun's positions and trajectory, updated in real time.

Furthermore, you can enhance your desktop with a multitude of clock styles, calendars and even notes, so you don't miss any important event.

Seeing how it is a utility meant to indicate time, you also get access to an alarm clock. You can set up to 8 alarms, on any selected day. A message can be included, as well as a custom sound to play, and even choosing an application to be launched at the given time.

Any option you select from the preferences menu puts a large variety of customization options at your disposal. Font and color can be set for any displayed text and careful arrangement on the desktop with pixel coordinates.

Multiple places can be enabled on the world map wallpaper, with the possibility to set the hour to a 12 or 24 hour display. Last but not least, whether forecasts are available so you can plan your vacation from the comfort of your desktop.

All in all, WorldClock assures you no second is going to pass without you knowing. It is not the best looking application, but it manages to put such a large variety of customization and display options at your disposal that it becomes difficult not to keep around.
