The Clapping Clock


In 2020, as the coronavirus spread across the globe, something strange and beautiful started happening. Communities all over the world came together to applaud those who were taking care of us.

There was only one problem: The frontline workers we were clapping for were often too busy working or recuperating to stop and listen.

So we built the Clapping Clock: a place for frontline workers to come, at any time, to hear the applause meant for them.  




Providing a lift to those who need it most, the Clapping Clock curated celebrations from different cities around the world, every day.

 With the Clapping Clock, a local round of applause can reach a global audience and a few minutes of clapping can last forever.
