Hands! is a Smart Clock that emulates the look and feel of retro operating systems while connecting to modern cloud services.

Hands! displays your calendar appointments, weather, and more.

An exciting update today as Timechief.io is launching the Hands! Smartclock to a small group of beta testers.

Following a long process of smoothing out rough edges I believe Timechief is ready to be tested by real actual people. And as I recently recieved approval from Google (video) for our prototype to be used in the wild, it surely is time.

Watch out for Hands!
