Customizing Labels

Clocker allows you to edit the names of the timezones or locations you've added. This allow you to map a colleague, friend or a partner to a location reducing the need to mentally calculate who's actually in London.

You can utilize the contextual menu present on left of each row to edit the label:

Tip: Use emojis as a label to enhance glanceability.

Can't see Clocker at all?

If you're unable to see Clocker in your menubar, the most likely reason is because there's little space on the menu bar for Clocker to show along with Chrome or other third-party app menus items (File, Edit, View etc) and your other menubar items (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Spotlight etc).

Third' party app menus take precedence over menu bar items (like Clocker) causing macOS to hide Clocker that would otherwise occupy that space. To get rid of the blank issue, here's what we suggest:

• Limit the number of Clocker menubar time zones to 2 to 3. Only select the timezones you really want. Use the Clocker panel for the rest of the time zones.
• Remove unused menubar apps from your menubar to make space for Clocker
• Increase your screen resolution

Change the Relative Display for a location

Good news — Clocker already supports this! You can choose what appears alongside each timezone (Today/Tomorrow, the actual day of the week, the date, or the timezone abbreviation) from a single setting.

Open Clocker Preferences (gear icon, or Command + ,) and head to the Appearance tab. Under the Panel section, find Day Display Options and pick one of:

• Relative — e.g. Today
• Actual Day — e.g. Monday
• Date in mmm/dd — e.g. May 8
• Timezone — e.g. PDT

Pick Date in mmm/dd for the month-and-day view. The Preview card at the bottom of the Appearance tab updates live so you can see exactly how it'll look before closing Preferences.
