Developer’s Description

By Neuhaus13 Software

Keep your system clock accurate with a time sychronizer.

It is well known that the Windows system clock is everything else than exact. With this little program it runs with the precision of an atomic clock. It synchronizes the system time with atomic clock driven NTP-servers in Internet. Li'l Atomic Clock offers nice features like synchronizing at system start or in intervals, an extensive server list that can be updated via Internet, testing servers etc. Li'l Atomic Clock runs in background and just adds an icon into taskbar. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Summary
Simple--does the important things without fluff
BPBerkOctober 26, 2011
Pros
Easy to set up and does the job.
Cons
Insists on being yet one more thing that sits in memory.
Summary
If this utility provided the option of synchronizing on start-up and then going away, it would be perfect. However, if you set it to synch only at start up, it still stays in memory. It would have to stay in memory if set to periodic synch (hourly, etc.) but it doesn't need to stick around for start-up only. This wouldn't be an issue, except that every little thing I install now seems to want a permanent chunk of RAM, and it adds up. Nonetheless it's a great solution for one of the many Vista machines where the built-in Windows synch does not work reliably.
It's a very basic time clock sync. Nothing more

Pros
Basic, accurate, low resources, and appears non-intrusive. Syncs in a similar way Windows time sync does.
Cons
Need to set time to "About" correct time for it to sync. If your PTC battery is dead, this won't help with dates. Some Laptop PTC batteries are just too hard to replace. So, no good for lazy or technically challenged people like me.
Summary
Is it really necessary? Personally, I can't see point in having a 2nd basic clock sync. There are Much, Muchly Hugely better ones than this with features such as multiple timezones, day and date correction, memo, appointment etc etc. I suppose it is all down to what you need or want and your available resources.
Real freeware that works as advertised

Pros
Works in backgraound much better than Windows time updater. No nagware or unwanted popups. Full list of servers that update itself.
Cons
One minor point that program attempts to update host list to an email account that no longer exists.
Summary
Love it.
Superbly Clean, Efficient, NON Intrusive, Switchable.

Pros
Can be manually run (and stopped). Allows preview of time change prior to setting system clock. (Defaults to automatic mode) Tests all time servers, select the one you want. Simple, with only 630K storage space required.
Cons
To close program right click on the Task Bar icon and select close. Cannot be started, run, and exited with just a command line switch. Uninstall didn't. (Just delete directory)
Summary
Superb. Tried the others, some lock occasionally, some just don't work well, some consume too many resources. Most you cannot tell what they are reallydoing. Many set clock to wrong time ... now and then. 1) Simple, 2) You can limit what it does. 3) Does not clutter up your system.
Fine program that performs flawlessly

Pros
Li'l Atomic Clock is advertisement free and doesn't inundate you with popups. <p>I haven 't come across any malware that may have been loaded with the software. It does what it's supposed to do...correct the time.
Cons
Summary
A excellent little program
DinochessDecember 29, 2007
Pros
This is a simple program which runs at startup and automatically adjusts your time. You can also choose to adjust your time manually. There are lots of time servers to choose from and the location of the time server is shown as well (e.g. Buenos Aires, Argentina). Li'l Atomic Clock takes little system resources and is an excellent freeware program.
