What it is
A world clock that stays out of the way.
Timepass is a small macOS menu bar app that shows several timezones side by side, each marked with its country flag and current time. No windows to open, no Dock icon. Just glance up.
It was built to replace older world-clock utilities that never made the jump to Apple Silicon. Timepass is written in Swift with pure AppKit and SwiftUI: no Electron, no Chromium, nothing running in the background but a clock.
Features
Everything a world clock needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Flags at a glance
Add as many zones as you like. Each one sits in the menu bar with its flag and local time.
Your format
Toggle AM/PM, show the date, or show the weekday, so the bar reads exactly the way you think.
Starts at login
One switch registers Timepass with macOS's modern login items, so your clocks are there every morning.
Built native
Made for the Mac, not merely ported to it.
An AppKit status item with a SwiftUI picker in a popover. It updates every thirty seconds and otherwise sits still.
