SuperClock
A custom smart clock that brings time, weather, and daily routines into a circular physical display.
- Working software, evolving enclosure studies
- Raspberry Pi 5, TypeScript, FreeCAD, Figma
A smart clock for a shelf that becomes a timer, a weather display or a small window into the day. The work spans the physical form, circular interactions and the software that connects them.
Decisions
Navigation lives at the rim
A circular screen has little room for permanent navigation. System actions start at the rim: pull from the top for apps, from the bottom for settings, from the left to go back. The center stays with the app.
Share behaviour between faces
Color roles, geometry, rendering and the meaning of motion are shared. Each face defines what moves, what the accent means and what stays quiet.
Show when information stops being current
If the GitHub feed fails, the clock keeps the last graph, dims it and labels when it was cached. With no saved data it says it is not connected.
