Stop Googling "time in London, time in Tokyo, time in Chicago..."
Tymz is a native, lightweight macOS utility that lives exclusively in your menu bar. Whether you are working with a remote team, coordinating with international clients, or keeping track of family abroad, seeing their time should be instant — not a browser search away.
Designed to feel right at home on macOS, it offers a clean, native aesthetic that doesn't clutter your dock.
- Font weight controls — set the label and time text independently to Light, Regular, or Bold. Live preview updates in real time as you adjust.
- Dock icon on Settings — the app icon appears in the Dock while Settings is open, then disappears when you close it. Toggle the behaviour from the General tab.
- Backup tab — groundwork for local backup and restore is in place; full file export/import is coming in the next release.
Menu Bar Ticker Display one or more time zones directly in your menu bar — e.g. 🇫🇷 Paris 2:15 PM | 🇯🇵 Tokyo 10:15 PM. Toggle between ticker mode and icon-only mode.
Font Weight Controls Set the clock label and the time independently to Light, Regular, or Bold. The live preview in Settings updates instantly.
World Clocks List Click the menu bar icon to see every saved clock with current time and time difference from your location (e.g. +6 hrs, −3h 30m).
Right-Click Context Menu Right-click the menu bar icon to access Settings, Check for Updates, Back Up to File, or Quit — without opening the clocks window.

Drag to Reorder Arrange clocks in any order by dragging in Settings.
Per-Clock Menu Bar Toggle Choose which clocks appear in the menu bar ticker independently.
