Petition updateRight to Timelessness: Why Can't We Hide The Clock?🎉 We passed 50 founding supporters! Next stop: 100 and and an open letter to Big Tech

When this petition started, "hiding the clock" sounded like a niche request.

Fifty-one of you proved it isn't!

Your comments tell the real story: ADHD, time anxiety, flow state, gaming immersion, or simply wanting to be present without a clock staring back at you.

Every signature here is someone who's felt it.

What happens at 100 supporters:
We publish an open letter to Apple, Google, Microsoft and the rest of Big Tech: and we post it everywhere. Tech press, social media, their own forums.

Your signature becomes part of that letter.

You're not just signing a petition; you're a founding supporter of this movement.

In the meantime, we did the homework for them.
We tested every major device: iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, PS5, Xbox, and published the honest results at righttotimelessness.com.

The verdict: 13× NOPE, 4× partly, 1× yes.

The most absurd finding: macOS actually HAS a "hide the lock screen clock" setting. We set it to "Never" on a real Mac and verified it at system level.

The clock is still there.

Their own setting doesn't work. 

The proof — with screenshots — is on the site.

One small ask:
Send this petition to ONE person who has ever said "I wish I could turn that clock off."

Just one. If each of us does that, we hit 100 within days!

Thank you for being early. Thank you for being loud.

Not a revolution. Just a toggle. 🔘
