About

A calm question on a small screen.

"Freedom is not a goal, but a direction." — Edward Snowden

Freedom Clock is an open-source ESP32 e-ink desk device and free in-browser calculator. It converts savings, Bitcoin, and fiat assets into the number of years your current lifestyle could continue without earning. The project lives at freedomclock.io and is MIT licensed.

This is not trying to become a finance platform. It is trying to keep one useful question visible: how much time have you already bought back?

The why

Most financial tools pull attention toward balances, price movement, and optimization. Freedom Clock turns the same inputs toward time. Slower, quieter, easier to glance at without falling into a dashboard.

The what

The web calculator works in the browser. The desk device uses e-ink so the number can live in the room without acting like a phone. Both point at the same idea: money is useful because it can buy choice.

The math

The calculator models assets, growth, inflation, income, spend, monthly investments, and Bitcoin-specific spend models. Scenario engine, not prophecy machine.

The license

Freedom Clock is open source under the MIT license. Inspect it, fork it, change the display, remix the enclosure, or build one for someone else.

The author

Freedom Clock is built openly by Miro Remias. Practical fixes are welcome. Better build notes too. The only real rule is to keep the object useful without making it louder.
