This will show you how to build a fully customizable clock and date layout on your Elgato Stream Deck using BetterTouchTool on a Mac. Each digit is displayed on its own button for maximum readability and design control.

We'll split the time and date across multiple buttons using Shell Script Widgets in BetterTouchTool.

🔧 What You'll Need

• macOS with BetterTouchTool installed
• Elgato Stream Deck (XL recommended for space)
