Desamber is a time format invented by Devine lu linvega. Each year has 26 months of 14 days each. Each month is denoted by a letter of the alphabet: A - Z. Each day is divided into 1,000,000 pulses. For example, noon is 500:000, 6AM is 250:000 and 6PM is 750:000. "In the decimal format, the shortest pulse equals 86.4 milliseconds, the second shortest 864ms and so on. 1 beat, or 1000 pulses, is equivalent to 86.4 seconds, or about 1m26s. A second is equivalent to 11.57 short pulses." - Devine -- This app shows a visual representation of the Desamber time format on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Questions or comments?

Every guide has a verifiable source URL so you can trust what the app is telling you.
