The pink Divoom Times Gate in Kitty & Jerry's setup is more than a clock added to an empty desk. Jerry already has a pastel arrangement of character figures, a monitor riser and coordinated accessories. Her review is useful because it shows how five small screens can join that existing visual theme while still carrying a clock, weather and a personal countdown.
This article follows the channel's Times Gate unboxing, setup and customization video, published in 2024. Its strongest material is the hands-on editing process. The description's suggestion of an audio review should not obscure what the footage actually establishes: the central product is a powered five-screen display.
Pink hardware becomes part of an existing setup
Jerry chooses pink and spends time examining the pearl-like finish, white sections and purple accents. Those details matter to her because they work with the character theme already on the desk. The gift bag and matching presentation case reinforce the same impression before the device is powered.
Unlike a neutral screen that tries to disappear, this one is visibly decorative even when switched off. Its transparent outer surface and five separate display windows make it a physical desk accessory. For somebody choosing pixel art displays around a particular room aesthetic, that shape and finish can be as important as the available widgets.
The current Times Gate store listing remains the place to check available colors and the offering on sale now. This video shows an older review unit, so its packaging and software should be treated as a record of that unit rather than a guarantee of every current detail.
Keep the enclosure closed and plan a permanent power route
An early uncertainty becomes a useful warning. Jerry initially thinks she may need to open the casing to remove screen protectors. After checking, she explains that the casing stays closed and removes the protective film from the outer surface instead. It is a small correction that saves a new owner from pulling at the wrong part.
She also establishes the power requirement: this unit does not have an internal battery and must remain connected. The included braided cable has USB-A at one end and USB-C at the other. She routes it beneath her monitor riser and places the display in front, where it belongs visually without leaving the cable across the main working area.
The practical buying question is therefore whether you have both a useful viewing position and a suitable nearby power source. This is a display you arrange and leave in place, rather than a rechargeable ornament you can move freely from shelf to shelf.
Physical controls handle quick changes
Jerry walks through the top buttons before moving deeply into the app. The light button cycles ambient effects, including slower transitions and a rainbow-like arrangement she prefers. She explains that finer color and speed choices are available in the app, while the button is convenient for a quick change at the desk.
The arrow buttons adjust display brightness, and holding them changes it more quickly than repeated presses. The Mode button switches between sets of screen content. That distinction becomes important later: she can build a functional arrangement and a more decorative arrangement, then move between them with a hardware control.
She also demonstrates a reset while preparing to reconnect. Her spoken timing for reset and pairing is not entirely consistent, so it is better to use the instructions for your own hardware version than copy a hold duration from this clip. The meaningful result is that the display enters a configuration state and is subsequently connected through the app.
The iPad demonstration separates tools from screen editing
Because her phone is filming, she uses an iPad to demonstrate the Divoom app. She first looks at functions such as a scoreboard and stopwatch. These are useful examples because the numbers appear across the physical screens, making the function visible on the desk rather than remaining only on the tablet.
The video also browses music and internet-radio controls in the app. That should not be taken as a demonstrated Bluetooth-speaker function of Times Gate. The narration refers to changing the tablet's volume, and the current official listing specifies a Wi-Fi display rather than Bluetooth playback. This article therefore concentrates on the screen operations actually shown instead of assigning the app's entire feature list to the hardware.
A personal anniversary face is the most useful editing example
Jerry's strongest tutorial begins with an existing holiday countdown. She does not simply choose a ready-made Valentine's design and leave it unchanged. She opens its settings, edits the text to refer to her anniversary and enters the relevant date.
She then searches for heart artwork and replaces the animated decorations. The resulting face shows a countdown to her own occasion with imagery that fits the desk. That is a much more useful definition of customization than changing the device's general color: the content has become personally meaningful while retaining a clear function.
For someone planning a similar layout, the order is sensible: pick the function, set the information, then change its decorative elements. Starting with a design whose purpose is already close to yours can be easier than trying to build an entire arrangement from nothing. The available fields still depend on the particular face.
Individual screens and complete themes are different routes
The app presents two approaches. One assigns content to individual panels; the other applies a coordinated set across the display. Jerry shows both rather than treating one as the only correct way to use the hardware.
An individual layout lets a cat clock sit beside weather and the anniversary countdown. A coordinated theme produces a more unified appearance quickly. Her walkthrough makes the tradeoff clear: separate panels offer more personal decisions, while a theme reduces the work of making five small screens look related.
That is also why planning a small set of readable dashboard roles matters. Five active screens do not automatically create a useful desk. Choosing what deserves to remain visible is part of the product experience, especially when artwork and data compete for the same small windows.
Search results can become a coordinated character display
In the art gallery, Jerry searches for character-themed work that matches her setup. She notices that selecting artworks rather than a broader topic returns more useful results. Holding a chosen artwork brings up panel-selection options, and she assigns designs to specific screens.
She sends more than one selection and shows the change on the actual display. Later, she replaces a green panel because it does not suit the surrounding aesthetic. That is a concrete example of why per-screen editing matters: a mostly suitable preset can be refined rather than discarded.
The workflow supports a mix of useful information and decoration, all artwork, or a more functional arrangement. Her preference is not a universal recommendation, but the video makes the choice understandable by showing the result of each action.
Who should follow this approach?
This review is especially relevant to somebody who already enjoys curating a desk. Its best ideas are personal rather than technical: choose a finish that belongs in the room, hide the power cable, turn a generic countdown into your own event and replace a single mismatched panel instead of starting over.
It offers less evidence for long-term network reliability or the accuracy of online data feeds. Those are not the focus of the walkthrough. The appeal is seeing customization carried through from the tablet to a finished physical arrangement.
The closing product card links the current Times Gate offering. Divoom's present manual catalog lists Times Gate II for that product handle, so check the version of your own unit in the official product-manual index before following model-specific reset or pairing instructions.
