Just what I need

Saves me the headache of copying the current epoch and UTC time. Thank you for this.

Excellent: a much-needed info missing from Apple widgets

If only the macOS system clock provided this feature directly. UTC is very useful for devs, for example.

Nice Tool!

I love the face that you can copy different time formats. Would love it even more if we could have an option to turn on the ability to see seconds.

Perfect!

Does exactly what it needs to do without bloat. One of the most useful Mac apps I have installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a feature request, bug report, or some feedback

Click the feedback button in the app or send it here.

The time looks blurry or is not dimmed on my secondary display

Can you localize the app into my language?

The date & time output adheres to your locale settings. I don’t plan to localize the app itself.

The app does not show up in the menu bar

When the menu bar grows too large, macOS hides overflowing items, so UTC Time might have been hidden. Try to close some of your other menu bar apps. There’s, unfortunately, no way for apps to detect this and warn the user. More tips

Can you add an analog clock?

I have no plans to add that.

Can you add support for other time zones?

That is outside the scope of this app, but check out my Second Clock or Dato app, which do support this.

How can I customize the menu bar date and time format?

Same answer as above.

Can it show seconds in the clock?

I don’t plan to add this. Showing seconds wastes a lot of system resources and energy as macOS is very inefficient at rendering updates in the menu bar. Instead, just enable seconds in the system clock.

Why is this free without ads?

I just enjoy making apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.
