With the release of macOS Ventura, Apple has finally released the Clock app for Mac users. The new Clock and Weather apps are some of the most awaited additions. As surprising as it may sound, a dedicated clock app has been missing on macOS while it has always been available for iPhone and iPad.
While Apple tries to bridge the gap between macOS and iOS, the new app is a welcome change. We’ll show you how to use the Clock app and its various features on your Mac.
Requires watch app
To enjoy the new Clock app, your Mac needs to be running at least macOS Ventura or later. If you haven’t installed the update, get it from the System Preferences menu. Here’s how you can check for macOS updates.
Step 1: Click the Apple icon in the top left corner.
Step 2: Click About This Mac.
Step 3: Click on Software Update.
Step 4: Download and install the macOS Ventura update.
Now, let us show you how to use different features of the Clock app on your Mac.
1. World clock
As the name suggests, World Clock allows you to check the Time Zone of any city or region of your choice across the globe. You can add more than 4 clocks with different time zones using the Clock app compared to the Clock Widget that showed four different time zones before. It also saves you the hassle of checking the time in another city by opening a web browser on your Mac.
By default, you will see your country’s Time Zone. This is how you can add a new region or city in the World Clock.
Step 1: Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight Search, type Clock, and press Back.
Step 2: Click the World Clock tab at the top of the Clock app.
Step 3: In the World Clock, click the Plus icon in the top right corner of the app.
Step 4: Enter the city name in the Search Bar.
Step 5: Click on the search result to add its Time Zone.
You will notice the clock for your selected region has been added at the bottom along with your current Time Zone clock.
To remove the clock for a specific time zone, hover your mouse pointer over that clock and click the X icon in its top left corner.
2. Alarm
The second important feature the Clock app offers is setting Alarms on your Mac. Besides your iPhone or Android, you can also use the Clock app on your Mac to set alarms for important tasks or reminders. Here’s how to set Alarms on your Mac.
Step 1: Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight Search, type Clock, and press Back.
Step 2: Click the Alarms tab at the top of the Clock app.
Step 3: In the Alarms tab, click the Plus icon in the top right corner.
Step 4: Select Alarm Time, Repeat Date, Label and Sound.
Step 5: Click Save to set your Alarm.
Your favorite alarms will show up in the Alarms tab.
To turn off the Alarm, click the yellow switch.
To delete an Alarm, hover your mouse pointer over the Alarm and click the X icon in its top left corner.
3. Stopwatch
Besides Alarms, you can also use the Stopwatch feature. That’s useful if you’re working with tight deadlines or want to complete your tasks quickly. You can immediately start Stopwatch from the Clock app. Here’s how to use it.
Step 1: Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight Search, type Clock, and press Back.
Step 2: Click the Stopwatch tab at the top of the Clock app.
Step 3: Click Start at the bottom.
You can also record a Lap while using the Stopwatch.
Step 4: Click Stop at the bottom to pause the timer.
You can also Reset Stopwatch.
4. Timer
While enjoying a quick coffee or tea on the screen, you can set the Timer to remind you to return to your desk. Instead of choosing iPhone or Android, you can set a Timer on your Mac to quickly resume your work. In addition, it will help you schedule a break to get up from your chair and stretch instead of working for long hours. Here’s how to use it.
Step 1: Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight Search, type Clock, and press Back.
Step 2: Click the Timer tab at the top of the Clock app.
Step 3: Select Timer duration and sound.
Step 4: Click Get Started at the bottom.
You can click Pause or Done to stop the Timer of your choice.
Responsible for time
The Watch app is a welcome change for Mac users as they don’t have to download any third-party Watch apps or depend on their phones. macOS Ventura brings another exciting update called Continuity Camera.
