It would be interesting to know how this tools works. Over the years
there have been quite a number of tools that just *set* or quickly
adjust the system time in periodic intervals.
ntpd compares the system time to its configured reference time source(s)
periodically, adjusts the system time smoothly so that the time offset
becomes as small as possible, and even tries to determine and compensate
the system time drift, so that the time offset *stays* small over time.

Further down the page on that site, the author describes the
functionality - it's a typical SNTP client, only syncing periodically,
rather than disciplining the clock, and rightly discourages setting the
interval too small if you're using public NTP servers. But with a local
NTP server, that should be immaterial.
I use it not because I require super-accurate time on my PC, but because
it offers a lot more options than Window's built-in and dumbed-down SNTP
client.
