Showing: the world clock
A preview of the Simply Zone menu bar popover: your world clock, and the four tools on its bottom row, which are the time converter, the world map, the meeting planner and the moon almanac.
Click a tool along the bottom to open it, or the chevron to come back.
Every time zone you care about,
in your menu bar
Clocks in the menu bar
Add as many as you like from a 34,000-city search and put them in any order. Glance up and the time is already there, with no window to open and nothing to interrupt.
A format that suits your Mac
Show the day of the week, the date, seconds and the time-zone code, in 12 or 24-hour time. When the bar runs short the clock shortens itself rather than disappearing.
Convert any moment
Drag the ruler and every clock moves with it, with day and night marked, so you can find the hour that works everywhere before you send the invitation.
A planner that writes to your calendar
See your real events beside the local time in every zone, drag to create a meeting, and save it straight to Calendar. It only ever creates the event you asked for.
Day and night on the map
Every clock pinned to a world map with the daylight line where it actually falls. Drag the map to move through the day and watch the terminator sweep with it.
A moon almanac, city by city
Phase and illumination, moonrise and moonset, distance, the next full moon, and a month calendar, worked out for whichever clock you are looking at.

Every part of the menu bar clock is optional. Turn each one on or off in Settings, and Simply Zone works out how much room it has and shortens itself to fit rather than being dropped by macOS.
One click from the menu bar
The world clock you land on, the four tools on its bottom row, and the settings that shape what the menu bar shows.
Every clock at a glance
Click the menu bar and your zones are there, with the offset from home beside each one.
Slide the ruler, everything follows
Find the hour that works everywhere, with day and night marked so nobody gets a 3am invitation.
Day and night across the world
Your clocks pinned to the map, and the daylight line where it actually falls right now.
The moon, city by city
Phase, illumination, moonrise, moonset, distance and the date of the next full moon.
Thirty-four thousand cities
Search for anywhere, see its country and offset, and add it in a click.
Find the hour that works for everyone
The planner puts your real calendar beside the local time in every zone you track, so a slot that looks fine in London is visibly the middle of the night in Sydney before you send anything. Drag across the grid to create a meeting and it saves straight to Calendar. Simply Zone asks macOS for calendar access, reads your events on your Mac, and creates only the event you asked it to.
Your Mac. Nothing leaves it.
Simply Zone makes no network connections at all. There is no server to talk to, no account to create, and no analytics or tracking of any kind. Your clocks and your settings live on your Mac, and when the planner reads your calendar it reads it here and nowhere else.
Your zones on the desktop
Add the Simply Zone widget from the widget gallery and your clocks sit on the desktop as an analogue face beside a digital list. It reads the same clocks as the menu bar, so adding a city in one place updates both. Small and medium sizes are supported.

Good to know
US$1.99 on the US storefront, paid once, with Apple's local equivalent everywhere else. That buys all of it: unlimited clocks, the menu bar display and its formatting, the converter, the planner, the map, the moon almanac and the desktop widget. There is no in-app purchase, no subscription and no advertising, so nothing asks you for money again.
Only the meeting planner uses it, and only if you allow it. With permission it reads your events so it can show when you are busy, and it creates an event when you ask it to. Calendar data is read on your Mac and never leaves it, and the rest of the app works without the permission.
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Simply Zone lives in the menu bar rather than the Dock, so after launch you will find it as a clock on the right-hand side of the bar.
