TrueOffset vs NTP Candle Timer

TrueOffset is a precision time utility for comparing time sources and measuring clock offset with clarity and confidence. Compare multiple Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers, visualize the difference between them, and see how your device's clock aligns with selected references. A clean, instrument-style interface presents time as a measurement—focused on accuracy, not decoration. FOUR CLOCK FACES - 12-Hour Classic — Traditional analog display - 24-Hour Scientific — Full day on one dial - NTP Offset — Dual second hands show device vs. true time - Digital — Large display with millisecond precision UTC & TAI TIME SCALES Display Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and International Atomic Time (TAI) alongside your local time. UTC and TAI feature authentic deadbeat second hands that step crisply to each second, visually distinct from the smooth-sweep local time. TAI runs 37 leap seconds ahead of UTC—see both atomic time scales at a glance. PRECISION VISUALIZATION The NTP Offset view displays two second hands: your device clock (gray) and true NTP time (green). The offset magnifier shows drift on a ±10ms scale, so you can see sub-millisecond accuracy at a glance. DUAL-STACK COMPARISON A feature no other NTP app offers: compare IPv4 and IPv6 paths to the same server. Detect DNS misconfigurations, identify when address families route to different servers, and verify your network is delivering consistent time on both stacks. FLEXIBLE TIME SOURCES Compare against Apple, Google, Cloudflare, NIST, US Naval Observatory, global NTP pools, or add your own servers. Set any source as your reference and track offsets across all configured servers. QUALITY ANALYTICS Eight swipeable chart pages reveal the character of your time sources: - Dashboard — Sparkline overview of all servers - Offset History — Track drift over time - Histogram — Offset distribution analysis - Box Plot — Compare consistency across servers - RTT Scatter — Correlate latency with offset - Clock Sources — Decode reference clocks (GPS, PPS, Rubidium, Cesium) - Dual-Stack — IPv4 vs IPv6 path comparison - Rankings — Servers scored by jitter and round-trip time TrueOffset is designed for users who care about how accurate their time really is—and want to see the difference, not just trust it. --- In appreciation of Emerald Sequoia's Emerald Time.

A clear candle countdown beside your charts. NTP Candle Timer is a timing utility for stock, futures, forex and crypto traders. Watch the time remaining in a repeating interval without covering your trading platform. NETWORK-TIME SYNC The app periodically compares device time with network time and applies the measured offset to its display. The final 15 seconds show hundredths of a second. Actual accuracy can vary with the network, device and your trading platform's time source. The app does not change your device clock. YOUR INTERVAL, YOUR DISPLAY Choose 1, 3, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Use landscape or portrait orientation, select a font and color, and optionally show the battery indicator. AN OPTIONAL REFERENCE CLOCK Display Local, New York or UTC time below the countdown. New York follows daylight saving time automatically. This option is off by default and does not change the countdown or the timezone of your market alerts. VISUAL AND SOUND ALERTS Choose warning colors, final-seconds sounds and a session-end sound. Set market open and close reminders in your device's local time. Keep the app open during your session; it is not a background alarm service. The core timer and reference clock are free with banner advertising. An optional auto-renewable subscription removes banner ads and unlocks Pulse and Afterglow visual effects. The app interface supports English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French, following your device language preferences. Other languages fall back to English. NTP Candle Timer does not provide prices, trading signals, brokerage services or financial advice. Verify critical timing with your trading platform.
