TimeRibbon

A simple ribbon of world clocks, horizontal or vertical. What time and what day is it where the people you talk to are? One clock per place you choose, each with its own local time, weekday and date, in a small frameless ribbon you can put anywhere on any monitor.

A look

Every place, one glance.

TimeRibbon as a horizontal ribbon of analogue clocks in the Indigo colour scheme, dark, running west to east: New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Tokyo and Melbourne, each with its zone abbreviation and its date in words. Below it the sun map is pulled out: a world map lit where it is day and dark with city lights where it is night, each clock's city marked with a red dot and its name, the dots in the same order as the clocks above them. The handle in its own lane at the ribbon's foot shows an upward arrow to put the map back.

What you are looking at

Two looks, one ribbon: analogue in Indigo, horizontal, with the sun map pulled out below it; small digital in Neon, vertical, 12-hour, its map put away. Style, colour and orientation come from the menus or Settings; size from Settings; the grip in the corner resizes the clocks by hand.
The sun map: day and night as they stand, city lights on the night side, each clock's city in red. The arrow in its own lane along the ribbon slides it out and back.
West to east, like the map: New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Tokyo and Melbourne, the clocks in the same order as their dots.
Its own date each: every clock keeps the weekday and date of its place, so near midnight neighbours can be a day apart.

What it does not do

The internet, beyond one question. Its only network request asks GitHub for the latest release, at start and once a day, sending nothing about you or your clocks. The donate button and Download hand their addresses to your browser.
Planning. No calendar, meetings, reminders or alarms. It shows the time; it plans nothing.
People. A clock is a place, never a person.
Seconds. Hours and minutes only.
Your system clock. It reads the time; it never changes it.

Six places as small digital clocks on a vertical ribbon in the Neon colour scheme, glowing cyan 12-hour times centred in each cell on near black, west to east from the top: New York, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Tokyo and Melbourne. The sun map's handle waits at the ribbon's left side with its arrow pointing out; the resize grip sits in the bottom corner.

Supporting TimeRibbon

Free. It stays free.

There is no paid tier, no licence key and no feature held back behind a donation. If TimeRibbon saves you working out what time it is somewhere else, a contribution supports its maintenance. The same button sits at the foot of Settings.
