Exactly what I needed.

For the last few weeks, I've been trying to increase my productivity by getting rid of time tracking. So I decided to hide my computer's clock.

Sometimes, like when I have an appointment, I still need to check what time it is. Googling "time" doesn't always work (I don't know why exactly). So I bookmarked this site [1] but the information density is so high that I need to scan the page in order to get the time.

Time.is works quite well, with useful customization options, though it still carries bits of useless information (like the time zones at the bottom). But the time's font size is big enough to trigger instant focus.

UPDATE: as guptaneil pointed out, clicking the time (or navigating to http://time.is/just) removes all the clutter. Thanks for the tip.

Accidentally found this, but tap the time to make the rest of the page fade away. Or go to http://time.is/just

Nice job on this. I usually use http://everytimezone.com but I like how I can configure this with the zones that matter to me. It would be nice if I could easily use my favorites when doing the Here -> There comparison.

I would still prefer to have the option to select the timezone. Sometimes I want to attend some workshops that announce the time in one of the US timezones and its always difficult to do the conversion.
