About

Time, at a glance.

A personal project made to bring local time and the weather together in one clear, uncomplicated view.

01 / The story

Built to learn. Made to be useful.

TimeCaster started as a personal project to get better at programming. Development began on 21 April 2025, and its first version—then called Timerz!—went online on 16 May 2025.

What began as an experiment has grown into a simple way to check the local time and weather. The project is still evolving, with new ideas tested along the way.
