Hi all! I am Pierre Reimertz and the maker of FlagTimes. It's such a pleasant surprise to see this on Product Hunt now when it's out of beta. :) I myself was working remotely just like @antoineplu and got tired of doing time zone calculations in my head all the time. So after a while I wondered; there's gotta be a simple tool out there that can show you multi time zones in the menu bar? It turned out, no! So I wrote a hard-coded version with just the time zones I wanted, but after friends and other remote people around me saw the app, they wanted it as well... So I was like, let's build this thing! And here we are, a couple of months and some beta iterations later and I'm quite happy with it. If I start to se a bunch of users, I will most definitely add more features to it. 🎉🎉 Also, since it's on ProductHunt, I will lover the price to $0.99 🎉🎉 Edit: OMG this is on the front page, seriously humbled right now! -> https://twitter.com/reimertz/sta...

@antoineplu @josefrichter I don't know why, but it feels like a life achievement having someone quoting you in this particular Futurama meme.

This is pretty amazing! What would make it even better is if there was a way to check something like "What time would it be in [X] if it is 11 AM local?". I've been looking for a tool to do that so I can easily coordinate meetings. Would be even better if there was some kind of time scale with two time zones that I could drag to see what the time would be. Any plans to build something like this?

@palavalli Great idea! Since the app seems to get some traction now, I will most definitely start adding features to it and this could be one of them! :D

@palavalli @manny_orduna Seems like a legit app, future updates will definitely be inspired by this app. :)

Since I'm working remotely with different timezones, I was looking for a dead simple mac status bar to being able to give a quick look to the local time in each city. I was kinda desperate to not found what I wanted until @onaliugo found for me FlagTimes! It's exactly what I needed, I love it 😍 🙌 More details regarding the features : Multiple Flags You might work with people from multiple countries. Don't worry, FlagTimes support multiple flags! Customizable FlagTimes comes with some settings such as am/pm time, auto-start on login. Trustworthy FlagTimes is based on Apples own clock. So if you trust your computers time, you can trust FlagTimes! Battery safe I hope you will run FlagTimes all the time so I made it super efficient.

@onaliugo @antoineplu Thank you very much @antoineplu for the love! I was in the same situation you where in when I created the app but couldn't find one.. So I created FlagTimes. :)

It's an essential tool for anyone working in a distributed team

Pros:

Easy to see where my colleagues are in their day

Cons:

The configuration UI is a little finicky

Jamie Lawrence
I love it! I just wish I could customise the labels when displaying two timezones from the same country (e.g. New York and Denver). Instead of [GMT-6] and [GMT-4] I'd rather give them labels or just leave it as duplicate flags

@ideasasylum thanks for the feedback. I’ll investigate a way to customize labels for the next release, I promise! :)
Patrick Burtchaell
@ideasasylum @reimertz +1 for this! I live in US CST and would love to display times for PST and EST. I just wonder what that would look like because both are in the US (e.g., multiple flags?).
Hunter Hastings
I've been working across multiple timezones for 8+ years and I *still* get confused. Awesome little product!

@edwinwee thank you Edwin! Let me know if Stripe would be interested in some kind of corporate license.
Nadia Sotnikova
This is really awesome! I've been using www.worldtimebuddy.com, and many of my clients with distributed teams used that tool, but this is SO much better. Gonna recommend to clientzzzz too!

@nadia_sotnikova1 yeay! Thanks Nadia! :D

Bought and installed it, so far I like it but I hope you can add to show the current location "Date" and just hide the "clock". @reimertz

@menjxo good idea and definitely something I will add in a future update. So excited to work on this now when I have a bunch of users! 🎉

@menjxo Hey, just pushed some improvements, adding this feature. Should be available within 12h! 🎉

In my opinion this is useful only in certain circumstances, however great job!

Would be nice to have an option to hide it in the notification centre, like a widget. Feels slightly distracting constantly having it there, although maybe I'll get used to it. Didn't think it was a problem until having used it!

Pros:

It's more convenient than constantly googling "time in {country}"

Cons:

Feels a bit distracting having the times always on the menu

Literally the only app where you don't have to click or hotkey anything. Beautiful. Clean. Looked all over for a similar app but free but couldn't find one 😂 😂 Great work @reimertz

It's functional, simple, and elegantly designed. What's not to like??

Pros:

It's a no-brainer if you're working with people in different timezones, or if you have family/friends scattered all over the world.

Cons:

I guess the PC folks will have to wait ;)
