The best flip clock for Notion is the Blocs Clock & Timer widget, which includes a flip clock display mode you embed directly into any Notion page as an iframe. No installs, no third-party apps, and no leaving your workspace. It works on Notion's free and paid plans. The flip clock style is part of Blocs Pro ($17 one-time).
/embed block.A flip clock for Notion is an embeddable widget that displays a live, animated flip-style clock inside a Notion page. It mimics the classic mechanical flip board aesthetic — digits flipping down as seconds, minutes, and hours change — without requiring any browser extension or separate app.
Most Notion users who want a flip clock end up with one of two frustrating workarounds: a static image that never updates, or a separate desktop clock app they have to alt-tab to constantly. Neither keeps your time awareness inside your workspace. An embedded flip clock solves this by living right on whatever Notion dashboard, planner, or workspace you already use every day.
Go to blocs.me/clock-widget. The embed URL for the clock widget is https://blocs.me/clock. If you're on Pro, you can customize the display mode (flip clock, analog, digital) and theme before copying the URL.
Navigate to the Notion page where you want the flip clock to appear. This can be a dashboard, daily planner, study page, or project overview — anywhere you want ambient time awareness.
Type /embed in Notion and select the Embed block option. Paste the Blocs clock URL into the embed field and press Enter.
Drag the embed block to your preferred size. The flip clock scales cleanly. For a compact look, a width of around 400–500px works well. You can place it in a column alongside other Notion content.

Functional reasons aside, the flip clock display is popular in Notion workspaces for a few practical reasons:
If you're building out a Notion dashboard, the flip clock works well alongside other Blocs widgets:
