Top Flutter Clock packages

Last updated: May 18, 2026

Clock widgets display the current time, either as a digital readout or an animated analog face.

Best Practices for Clocks

• Time Zones: Always be explicit about whether the clock is displaying local device time or a specific time zone (e.g., UTC). If displaying international clocks, clearly label the corresponding city.
• Animation Efficiency: For analog clocks, only repaint the widget once per second (or once per minute if no second hand exists). Redrawing the clock 60 times a second using a generic animation loop will drain the battery unnecessarily.
• Server Sync: If accurate time is critical (like for a ticketing app or auction), do not rely on DateTime.now(), as users can manually change their device time. Fetch the true time from an NTP server.
