How do I open the Compare window?

Choose Window → Compare in the menu bar at the top of the screen, or press ⌘2 while the app is in front. (Window → Clock, ⌘1, brings back the Clock window.)

How do I change the city?

Click the city name at the top right of the Clock window, then search for a city, a country ("Japan") or a time zone name ("Pacific Time") and pick a result. The Compare window works the same way for each of its two cities.

How do I compare two time zones?

Open the Compare window (above). Drag along the bar at the bottom to move through the day, or click either time and type one ("9", "9:30 pm", "21:30"). ↩ Now goes back to the current time, and the arrows between the times swap the two cities.

How do I star a favorite city?

In the city list, hover over a city and click the star (or right-click it). Favorites stay at the top of the list, and also at the top of the widget's city list.

How do I add a widget to my desktop?

Right-click an empty spot on the desktop, choose Edit Widgets…, search for Minimal World Clock, and drag the small or medium widget onto the desktop. macOS only offers widgets from apps in the Applications folder, so make sure the app is there.

How do I change a widget's city?

Right-click the widget and choose Edit "Minimal World Clock", then pick a city.

How do I change the colors or switch to 24-hour time?

Open Minimal World Clock → Settings… (⌘,). The theme and time format apply to both windows and the widgets. Widgets can take a few seconds to catch up; macOS decides when they redraw.

I closed the Clock window. How do I get it back?

Click the app's icon in the Dock, or choose Window → Clock (⌘1).

How do I start it automatically?

Open Settings and turn on Open at login.

I can't find my city

Try the country or the time zone name instead, or a large city nearby in the same time zone. If it's still missing, email me and I'll add it.
