FlipClock
FlipClock is a screen saver for macOS that displays a retro-style flip-clock animation on your display. It is installed as a macOS Screen Saver component and activated through the System Settings Desktop and Screen Saver pane. The component renders the classic mechanical flip-card effect used in traditional desk clocks and is updated as part of the host macOS system.

1 suggestionFlipClock is a screen saver component for macOS, not a standalone application. It does not have a separate update mechanism or installer. Screen saver components are part of macOS itself and are updated whenever you install a new version of macOS. If you are still running an Intel-only version of FlipClock under Rosetta 2, the simplest path is to update macOS to the latest version your Mac supports — that will replace the Intel screen saver with the native Apple Silicon version automatically. Open System Settings, go to General → Software Update, and install any available macOS updates. This ensures both FlipClock and all other system components are running natively. Note that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), so staying current with macOS updates is important to avoid compatibility issues down the road.
