An indispensable tool for the international business traveler. -MacReview

Time Palette displays the current local time for any city, renders real-time, photorealistic maps of the world with correct sun and moon shading, and calculates a wealth of global time, geographic, astronomical and weather data.

Since its debut more than a decade ago, Time Palette has become the leading global time tool on the Macintosh platform and has been honored by ZDNet with an Editor's Pick Award.

  • Full native support for Mac OS X and 9.1+.

Time Palette's extensive mapping supports 11 unique map projections with both satellite and political maps.

  Time Palette includes an Atlas with detailed geographical and time zone information for over 10,000 cities throughout the world.

The Atlas maintains comprehensive rules for Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time), giving Time Palette a level of accuracy unmatched by other applications.



The Atlas also includes a Favorites list which allows you to select up to 30 of your most frequently used cities so they can be quickly accessed from popup menus throughout the application.



For quick reference, geographic and astronomical information for the selected city is shown at the bottom of the window.



In addition to a floating Time Bar window, the core of Time Palette's feature set is accessed through the comprehensive Info Panel which is divided into six panes.
By dragging cities from the Atlas window to an appropriate cell in the Info Panel, or by selecting a "favorite city" from the convenient popup menus in each city cell, you can quickly obtain the information you are looking for.
  • Alarms: Twelve independent alarms can be set for any time zone. These can be used to remind you when the markets close in Hong Kong, or when business opens in Sydney or Dubai.

  • Schedules: Conference calls which span the world can be placed at the right time to be convenient for all, whether in New York or Tokyo.

  • Almanac: Complete details on sunrise/set and moonrise/set are displayed for any city and date along with the phase of the moon, hours of daylight and lighting conditions.

  • Map: Is it light or dark in Argentina? High resolution, real-time maps show the world in exquisite detail. Areas of twilight and night are shown with accurate city lighting and moonlight.

  • Distance: Calculating your frequent flier miles/kilometers has never been easier. The Distance panel handles multiple and open-jaw trips, helping you to maximize your air itineraries.

  • Weather: Time Palette brings you weather information from NOAA. Updated frequently throughout the day, reports give you access to current weather conditions around the world.

About Time Palette

In 1992, before it had a name, Time Palette was a weekend project.

Originally conceived as an enhancement of the Apple alarm clock, the core of the first version was written during a 7-hour layover at O'Hare Airport in Chicago.

The concept was to see both the local time and the time at home. Initial reaction to the program was positive and people began to request new features...

Today, development of Time Palette continues, with innovative features and a wide user base.

Thank you for all your support over the years.
