Second Clock
Show a second clock for a different time zone in your menu bar
The clock sits next to the system clock, so you always know the time for colleagues, family, or servers in another time zone.

The app’s core job is to show a second clock in the Mac menu bar. It is aimed primarily at users who have to communicate with colleagues, clients, family, or friends in other time zones and want to see at a glance (without doing the math) what time it is there.
The app is simple by design.
Check out Zone Bar if you need more than one extra clock, Dato for more features and settings, or UTC Time if you just need the time in UTC.

Excellent
I travel internationally a lot with work. Great to have my home time zone always showing in the menu bar.
Love this app!
Works exactly as designed. No fuss, easy to use, and looks great. Thank you for creating this!
An example of how ALL apps should be ✅
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. No fuss, light footprint.
Perfection
Sindre’s apps are what App Store quality requirements shold be. Small disk, memory, low cpu
Frequently Asked Questions
I have a feature request, bug report, or some feedback
Click the feedback button in the app or send it here.
Can it show a flag in front of the time?
You can set a flag emoji in the “Prefix text” setting. Example.
Can it show an icon in front of the time?
You can set a Unicode character or SF Symbol in the “Prefix text” setting.
For an SF Symbol, download the SF Symbols app, copy a symbol, and paste it into the “Prefix text” setting.
Can it show the date?
No. Check out my Dato app for that.
What if I want more than one additional clock?
My Zone Bar app is made for this. It shows many world clocks in the menu bar. My Dato app also supports multiple time zone clocks, with settings like color and size.
If you want to keep using Second Clock, here are additional builds of the app with different identifiers so they can all run at the same time. They are older versions (1.1.0) and do not get updates.
Requires macOS 15 or later
If you had downloaded this previously and it stopped respecting the chosen time zone, download the new versions above.
Can macOS do this without an app?
Partly. The menu bar clock of macOS only shows your own time zone. The Clock app and its World Clock widget show other time zones, but you must open the app or show the desktop to see them.
Second Clock keeps the time of another time zone in the menu bar, where you can always see it.
Can you add text weight and color settings?
This is not planned. The menu bar should generally be monochrome (no colors) and consistent (same text weight).
Can you localize the app into my language?
The time output adheres to your locale. I don’t plan to localize the app itself.
Why is this free without ads?
I just enjoy making apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
Older Versions
Non-App Store Version
A special version for users that cannot access the App Store. It won’t receive automatic updates. I will update it here once a year.
