How to see world times, set alarms, and use the stopwatch and timer
IT WILL TAKE 5 minutes
THE CLOCK APP does more than simply tell the time. It also offers world clocks so you can see what time it is elsewhere; you can set alarms that trigger at a time of your choosing; and it has a stopwatch with a digital or analog display and a lap timer, as well as a countdown timer that lets you know when a certain period of time has elapsed.
The Clock app has been a popular feature of the iPhone and iPad for many years, but with macOS Ventura, it finally comes to the Mac too. It doesn’t sync with iCloud, so your world clocks and alarms don’t carry across from your mobile devices, but you can always add them separately if you wish. We’ll show you how to get the most from the app, with a guide to its basic features and a few advanced capabilities that you might otherwise miss. Here’s a tip right now: the app icon, whether in the Dock, a Finder folder or the App Launcher, accurately shows the current time, all day, every day.
