Why is my configuration reset every time I restart my browser?

Hungry firewalls and browser extensions may also eat your cookies.

How can I find the time for other locations and time zones?

Press the search icon in the upper right corner, then type in your query. You can also find a list of major locations on the home page and the time zones page.

Does Time.is adjust the time of my device?

We wish, but unfortunately, no. Because of operating system restrictions, a web page can not change the system time. When the Time.is web page loads, the displayed time is synchronized to our server time, but your system clock time is unchanged.

Is there a dark theme?

Yes, press shift D, or go to the configuration page.

How do I change between 12 and 24 hour display?

There's an option for 12/24 hour mode on the configuration page.
