ULANZI TC001 Smart Pixel Clock — White RGB LED Matrix Desk Clock with Social-Media Counter & Pomodoro Timer

ULANZI TC001 is a programmable pixel-art desktop clock that doubles as a live social-media follower counter, pomodoro timer, alarm and customizable LED scoreboard.

The ULANZI TC001 blends vintage pixel aesthetics with modern smart features to create a multifunctional bedside or desktop accessory. It uses a full‑color LED matrix to show pixel art, notifications, time, weather icons, and live follower counts from platforms like YouTube, Bilibili, and Weibo. Advanced users can extend behavior through the included Awtrix-compatible firmware and control server, while casual buyers get an intuitive alarm, stopwatch and pomodoro mode out of the box.

How does the TC001 show live social media follower counts?

The clock connects to your network and synchronizes with supported accounts to present follower or subscriber totals in real time. It cycles counts and can be paired with animations to highlight milestones.

• Connects to networks via Wi‑Fi and the control server
• Displays counters for YouTube, Bilibili, Weibo, and other supported hosts
• Animated pixel graphics emphasize growth or milestones
• Works with Awtrix-compatible hosts for added integrations

What time-management features does it offer for daily use?

Built-in pomodoro, alarm, stopwatch and planner functions let you structure work and breaks without extra apps. Visual cues on the pixel matrix make intervals easy to spot from across the room.

• Pomodoro timer with configurable intervals and break reminders
• Multiple alarms and retro pixel sounds (configurable)
• Stopwatch and scoreboard modes for gaming or productivity sessions
• Calendar and planner displays for quick schedule checks

Can I customize the graphics and add my own pixel art?

Yes — the board is RGB and user‑programmable so you can upload custom pixel images and animations. Enthusiasts can install additional programs through the control server for extended creative control.

• Full‑color pixel matrix supports bespoke icons and animated sprites
• Upload custom art using the device’s interface or the control server
• Open Awtrix simulation enables third‑party widget compatibility
• Great for themed displays: gaming avatars, scoreboards, or brand logos

How does the Awtrix simulator enhance the device?

The TC001’s firmware includes an Awtrix simulator so it behaves like an Awtrix matrix, giving immediate compatibility with many existing Awtrix hosts and widgets. That expands available integrations without waiting for native apps.

• Acts as a virtual Awtrix device on your network
• Access third‑party widgets and community content easily
• Enables remote control and additional display plugins
• Ideal for hobbyist setups and custom smart home dashboards

Who is this for? The ULANZI TC001 suits creators, streamers and productivity-minded users who want a compact, eye-catching display that combines social counters with practical timers and alarms. It’s also a strong pick for makers and tech hobbyists who enjoy programming custom pixel art, integrating widgets via the Awtrix ecosystem, or adding a playful visual element to a gaming desk, office shelf or bedside table. If you want a decorative gadget that’s both informative and highly customizable, the TC001 offers an engaging balance of form and function.
