ClocX vs Themia

ClocX is a free analog clock application for Microsoft Windows. It provides 350 configurable clock faces, three antialiasing levels, and 256 transparency levels, including a mouse-over transparency option. Window controls can keep the clock on top, pin it to the desktop, prevent movement, or let clicks pass through. Alarms can show a window, play a sound, run an application, or shut down the computer. A simple calendar is included. The application supports multiple languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, and Japanese, and can start with Windows for all users or at the current user’s login. The maker describes it as freeware without ads, spyware, adware, or toolbars. Version 1.6.0 is listed in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, supporting Windows XP SP2 and later through Windows 11. The plan costs nothing.

Themia is a Windows desktop widget app for arranging information and tools on a computer desktop. It supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, and its library lists 50 widgets across six categories, including office, online, system, layout and utility widgets. Users can create separate desktop layouts and switch between them. Widgets support actions such as resizing, scrolling, checking off tasks, composing email and controlling music playback. Listed connections include Google, Microsoft, IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, OneDrive, GitHub, Claude, RSS and weather services. The app runs locally and works offline, although email, calendar and weather widgets need internet access to refresh. The maker says settings, notes, layouts, files and connected-account data remain on the user's computer. Credentials and OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest with Windows DPAPI, and data sent by Themia travels over TLS. The Free plan includes 10 widgets and two screens. Pro costs $19, paid once and adds unlimited widgets and screens, use on up to five devices, updates within v1.x and priority support.
