HiClock Pro 3.19 build 122

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This simple yet functional utility extends the functionality of Windows' built-in clock. After you install HiClock Pro, the application appears both as a system-tray icon and a small, floating skinnable clock. Mousing over the icon shows a calendar of the current month as well as the hour and minute in any other time zones you've configured the app to display. Right-clicking the icon brings up your other options, which include a large list of worldwide atomic servers for syncing up your clock. You'll also find a basic tool that allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly reminders, though you won't be able to set audio alarms. HiClock Pro doesn't really offer anything we haven't seen before, but anyone who wants to get more out of his or her PC's clock should put it on a to-test list.

Publisher's description

From K&G Software Group :

HiClock Pro gives you an easy, thorough way to synchronize your system clock to the exact time using the Internet. This program queries the timeservers of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which return the correct standard time directly to your computer. HiClock Pro automatically converts standard time to your local time and compares this setting to the internal system time on your computer, making adjustments if necessary. Time checks occur automatically after each connection.

The program has an advanced alarm system and supports skins. Once set up the host computer can serve as a timeserver to a network of any size. The host can be set to check for the exact time as often or as seldom as desired, and each computer in the network likewise can be set to check time on the host computer as often as deemed necessary by the network administrator. Version 3.19 build 122 includes unspecified updates or a bug fixing release.
