It’s not that I’m a lover of minimalism. Not at least to an extreme level. However, there are spaces where I like it to prevail and my Mac screensaver is one of them. I spend a lot of the day in front of it, but when I don’t and I keep it on, I like that it has a nice and useful view in the form of a clock screensaver.
To do this I vary between two different styles, with a digital clock of those classics that are in many offices and, on the other hand, with a more analog clock with a particular design that is reminiscent of those from the manufacturer Iskra. Downloading and configuring them is very simple. And on top of that it’s free.
Download the Fiqlo watch, a classic that never fails
Fiqlo’s is by no means a new screensaver on Mac. In fact, in the Applesfera archive you can find that we already talked about it in 2008. It remains exactly the same and this is not a negative thing either. It is a classic that does what is asked of it: show the time and do it with a simple office design.
The steps to download it They couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do is go to the Fiqlo website and in the downloads section, click on ‘Download’ where the file for Mac is offered. Of course, as they warn, its latest version is only compatible from macOS Sonoma .
Once downloaded we must open the dmg file and, in the pop-up window that opens, double click on the ‘Fiqlo.saver’ file. Then we will be asked if we want to install it only on our user or on all of them. You choose there.
How to set up the Fiqlo screensaver on Mac
Once the screensaver is installed, it’s time to configure it. There are no strange procedures here, since you have to follow the usual steps. If you don’t remember or have simply forgotten, we remind you that these are:
- Open ‘System Settings’ on your Mac.
- Go to the ‘Screensaver’ section.
- Scroll down to the ‘Other’ section at the bottom of the section.
- By sliding to the right you will find Fiqlo’s. Click on it.
- Now, at the top and with Fiqlo established, you can click ‘Options’ to choose the clock format.
Now, to make the screensaver visible You will have to make sure that you have it configured correctly and that the screen will not go to sleep and turn off. This is also done from ‘System Settings’, in this case entering the ‘Lock Screen’ section and setting the time options there. You should also disable the ‘Show large clock’ option when using the screensaver, to avoid having the time duplicated.
