A day clock spells out the day of the week and the part of the day in large letters, which helps people with dementia or memory loss, and anyone who has lost track of the days. Morning runs from 5:00, afternoon from 12:00, evening from 17:00, and night from 21:00. Leave it full screen on a tablet; the screen stays awake where the browser allows.
Setting it up
Use a tablet on a stand, plugged in, with automatic updates and notifications turned off; put the browser in full screen and lock the screen orientation if you can.
Routines
A printed weekly plan helps alongside the clock; the family calendar prints one for each month.
How to use it
- Choose whether to show the time.
- Press full screen.
- Leave it on a tablet where it can be seen easily.
Privacy & limitations
The time comes from your device; nothing is sent anywhere.
