Most Unix timestamp tools are buried in a browser tab or wrapped in Electron. UnixTime is a native macOS app that does one thing well: convert timestamps, fast. Built-in timestamp math, full conversion history, custom formats with drag & drop ordering. No account, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Buy once, use on all your Macs. For developers who open a timestamp tool a dozen times a day and just want the answer immediately.
Love that it stays out of the browser entirely. The custom format ordering is a small touch but it actually saves me from alt-tabbing to figure out which log line is which.
Thanks so much! That was exactly the idea behind it – no browser tab, no tracking, just a quick lookup right from the menu bar. Good to hear the custom format ordering actually pays off in real-world debugging – that's what I built it for.
native macos app for timestamps feels long overdue, the drag and drop format reordering is a nice touch and the history saves me from retyping the same conversions
Really appreciate that! Menu bar > browser tab for something you use 20 times a day. The history was one of those "why doesn't every tool do this" moments while building it, so I'm glad it clicks for you too.
drag and drop for custom formats is genuinely clever, and the native macOS feel makes it way nicer than juggling a browser tab. finally something that fits how i actually work.
@mcahitm1z5 glad to hear it fits your workflow.
Anything you'd love to see in the next update? Always happy to hear what would make it even more useful in your workflow. Is there anything missing that would make it perfect for you? Batch conversion, more formats, shortcuts, iCloud sync… all on my radar, but I'd love to hear what you'd prioritize.
UnixTime 1.0.2 is out now!
What's new:
- 7 new languages, bringing the total to 12: Chinese (Simplified),
Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, Turkish, Dutch, Russian, and Japanese
- Live language switching — no restart needed
- Pin window works reliably again + stays on top of other apps
- History can now hold up to 50 entries (was 25)
- Various small fixes under the hood
Hey everyone,
just pushed v1.0.1 of UnixTime — a small but solid update:
Added French, Spanish, and Italian localizations
Fixed tooltips that were completely broken in menu bar apps (turns out macOS never activates NSTooltipManager for .accessory-policy apps — had to build a custom overlay system from scratch)
The tooltip fix was the annoying one. If you hovered over any icon in the toolbar or sidebar, nothing happened. Should work properly now across all three buttons.
Would love to hear what you think — especially if you're using one of the new languages and something looks off in the translation. Also open to feature requests for v1.1: what would actually make this more useful in your day-to-day workflow? Drop it below or hit the feedback link inside the app.
