Second Clock

The app is simple by design.

Check out Dato for more features and settings or UTC Time if you just need the time in UTC.

Tip: You can also click the feedback button in the app.

macOS hides menu bar apps when there is no space left in the menu bar. This is a common problem on MacBooks with a notch. Try quitting some other menu bar apps to free up space. If this does not solve it, try quitting Bartender if you have it installed.

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 seconds?

No, but you can make the system clock show seconds.

Can it show the date?

No. Check out my Dato app for that.

Can it show an analog clock?

I have no plans to support that.

What if I want more than one additional clock?

I don’t plan to support that directly, but here are additional builds of the app with different identifiers so they can all run at the same time:

My Dato app supports unlimited time zone clocks with settings like color and size.

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.

Where can I find the changelog?
