World clocks in your menu bar
Show multiple world clocks in your menu bar.
Add clocks for any time zone, give them custom names and emoji, and see them at a glance. The time travel slider lets you check what time it will be hours from now across all clocks. Useful for planning meetings or checking if friends abroad are awake.
Simple by design. No sync, no widgets, no iOS version. Just your clocks, always there when you need them.

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 app does not show up in the menu bar
Can it show seconds?
No. This is a glanceable menu bar app. Seconds clutter the UI and have real performance costs in menu bar updates.
Can it show the UTC offset (e.g. UTC+8)?
No. I want to keep it minimal. The focus is on name and time. You can right-click a time zone to see it.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything runs locally, except the time zone search.
Can you add half hour steps to the Time Travel slider?
No. It’s meant for quick, rough shifts. Smaller steps slow it down. If you need an exact offset, just adjust the minutes yourself.
Does the app use CPU constantly to keep the time updated?
No. It updates once per minute. Negligible.
Can it show analog clocks?
No. Digital only.
Can you add sync?
No. iCloud sync is unreliable and causes a huge support burden. It’s not worth the effort for this app.
Can you add widgets?
No. This is a simple menu bar app.
Can you support iOS?
No.
Can you add another menu bar icon option?
Sure! Find an icon you like in the SF Symbols app or here, and send me the name or a link.
I already own Dato. Does this offer any benefits over its similar feature?
- More minimal
- Flag or emoji icons
- Custom text size
