UTC NOW converts UTC date and time to your local time, and back again. Pick a date and time in UTC and the matching local time appears instantly. Or pick your local date and time and see the UTC equivalent. Both directions work the same way, on their own tab. WHY UTC NOW - Simple interface. Two tabs, nothing to learn. - Small file size. - No ads. - No account and no sign-up. - Works offline. No network connection is used at any point. WHO IT IS FOR - Developers reading server logs, timestamps, and CI output in UTC - Pilots, sailors, and radio operators working in UTC / Zulu time - Anyone scheduling meetings or calls across time zones Your local time zone is taken from your device settings, so there is nothing to configure. Open the app and it is ready.
