With UTC Time, Sorhus has now released his latest app on the Mac App Store, which is likely to serve a small niche of users. The menu bar item shows Coordinated Universal Time in the Mac menu bar on request.
Copy the time from the menu as ISO 8601 time, ISO 8601 date and time, or Unix time in seconds or milliseconds. You can also get the time with the “Get Time and Date in UTC” action in the Shortcuts app.

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.
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.
Can you add support for other time zones?
That is outside the scope of this app, but check out my Zone Bar app, which shows many world clocks in the menu bar. My Second Clock and Dato apps also support this.
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.
