iClock is a program designed to help you manage your time more efficiently. With its help, you can monitor the time in various cities from around the world, set reminders for important events, define work break alarms, count time on your Mac, and so much more.
The utility provides you with two separate menus which can be accessed from your status bar. One menu is for keeping track of time while the other one is for displaying calendar information.
You can choose which type of info to be displayed in the time menu. For example, you can configure the program to show you the current time in 3 or 4 cities, display your real IP address, etc. All settings can be found in the Preferences panel -> Time menu and can easily be configured even by beginner Mac user.
As for the built-in calendar tool, you can configure the utility to show the current month and customize its appearance according to your needs. For instance, you can change the color of the background section and choose which type of info to be displayed (national, religious or sports holidays correspondent to your country).
The only disadvantage I found while testing the program was the fact that it offered support for a limited amount of audio formats when setting local files as alarm sounds. Popular formats like OGG or FLAC aren't compatible with the tool. Still, this isn't a big deal as the program delivers what's being promised on the homepage of the developer. So, I'd say it's worth a shot.
Pros
- Lets you set alarms
- Comes with countdown and stopwatch tools
- Displays accurate info
- Brings you easy-to-configure settings
Cons
- Doesn't offer support for formats like OGG or FLAC when setting local files as sound alarms
I was searching for the one app that would allow me to use specific sounds I supplied. Surprisingle this is the only one I find. I was however extremely disappointed in the user interface. Yes it seems to havbe just about every feature I would ever need. BUT the User interface is terrible. I can’t set the time for the alarm to go off without have the sound go off. It is also not straightforard in setting the time It takes me 5+ mutes to set the time. As the controls are small. I like to have several alarms but for some reason it is niot obvious on how to cancel. It works and yes I paid for it but I think I should ask for my money back.
I am not sure what is going on here... the app says version 5.8.94 and the app store says the same, but it is flagged as new. Still buggy and should have been fixed at least by 2.0, not 5.8.94.
A clock application with wide functionality. I'm thinking over turning to it.
