Command Line

cyclock                    open the desk clock
cyclock --face TOKEN       start on that face
cyclock --list-faces       print face tokens
cyclock --prefs            spawn cyclock-prefs
cyclock --notify           reload conf in a running clock
cyclock --timezone ZONE    zoneinfo name (empty = system)
cyclock --borderless
cyclock --geometry WxH
cyclock --offset SEC       display offset from civil time
cyclock --fps N
cyclock --selftest         headless checks

cyclock-prefs takes the house flags plus --notify (reload only). All panel controls write conf and notify immediately.

Configuration File

~/.cyanotype/cyclock.conf (override: CYCLOCK_CONF). Face token, window geometry, timezone, alarms, weather station, and face-local options live there. Prefs and face keys that "save" write the same file.
