_Do you know what day it is?_ Perhaps you're finding yourself losing track of time and your routine is suffering. The **PyPortal Quarantine Clock** has got you covered! It only displays the essential "stay-at-home" information - the current day and a rough estimate of the time.

The **PyPortal obtains the precise time from the internet using the PyPortal's built-in WiFi module** , then updates and displays an estimate of the time and date. The quarantine clock is **programmed using CircuitPython and easily customizable**.

This beginner PyPortal project is a remix of [mwfisher3's quarantine clock](https://www.reddit.com/r/RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS/comments/fykcyc/quarantine_clock/). We've converted it to work with CircuitPython and made changes so it runs on the PyPortal.
