The Clock

Overview

The Clock is a productivity desktop app for macOS developed by Fabrice Leyne, requiring macOS 13 or later. It provides time management tools for users who collaborate with contacts, clients, or subcontractors across different time zones. **Core Features** - **World Clock**: Supports analog or digital dials, customizable to AM/PM or 24-hour format. Users can set the time format and city name individually for each city, and add various complications such as business hours, time zone offsets, and sunrise/sunset times. Clocks automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes (PDT, CDT, MDT, GMT, etc.). - **Meeting Planner**: Offers a time slider to quickly browse different times, along with business hour indicators to confirm whether contacts are within working hours. You can select a date in the calendar for accurate daylight saving adjustments, and the time slider can snap automatically to 15- or 30-minute intervals. Schedules can be exported via copy-paste, the share menu, or drag-and-drop. - **Calendar Integration**: Optionally integrates with macOS Calendar for quick schedule viewing. Supports switching between week and month views, showing or hiding week numbers, and choosing week numbering based on locale settings or ISO 8601. The calendar widget directly displays current and upcoming events. **Additional Features** The app offers four themes (White, Dark, Daisy Blue, Deep Dark) with transparency support, and themes can switch automatically with the system appearance. Windows are freely resizable with responsive layouts, accessible from the menu bar or Dock, and support floating windows. Trackpad gestures let you swipe through times, and it is compatible with Touch Bar and Notification Center widgets. With HandOff, it works seamlessly with The Clock on iPhone or iPad. For accessibility, it supports Voice Over, Dynamic Type font scaling, color-blind friendly mode, and haptic feedback. Settings can be backed up and restored locally, via Dropbox, or iCloud. It also includes break reminders and a companion screen saver.
