Multi-timezone management and calendar integration for distributed teams

Time provides comprehensive timezone management from the macOS menu bar, designed for users coordinating across distributed teams or managing international schedules. The app tracks unlimited time zones with customizable labels, allowing descriptive names like “Tokyo Office” or “Berlin Team” instead of generic city names.

Key features include support for both 12 and 24-hour formats, timezone display as names, abbreviations (PST, JST), or UTC offsets, and intelligent city search with autocomplete. Users can reorder zones by holding Command and dragging. The standout feature is the Time Scroller, a visual timeline showing 24 hours past and future across all tracked zones. Color-coded segments indicate daylight and darkness, making it immediately apparent when team members are likely available. Users drag through the timeline to find meeting windows that work across multiple time zones without mental calculations.

Calendar integration automatically detects meeting links for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, enabling one-click joining directly from the menu bar. Customizable notifications alert users before meetings, and calendar filtering supports multiple calendar sources.

The app runs natively using SwiftUI and requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Resource usage remains minimal, typical of well-designed menu bar utilities. Pricing is $24.99 for a single computer, $39.99 for a personal license covering up to three computers, or $89 and up for team licenses starting at five seats. This is a one-time purchase model.

Limitations include the macOS 14 requirement, which excludes older systems. Users needing only basic world clock functionality may find the feature set more extensive than necessary.

Alternatives include Dato for combined calendar and time zone management, or the built-in Clock widget for simpler needs. Suitable for users who regularly coordinate across time zones and need visual scheduling tools with calendar integration.
