iClock History
iClock first appeared in 1999 for Mac OS 9. A newer version for OS X was created in 2002, yet another in 2008, and again in 2016. The latest iClock is completely rewritten but maintains all the features of earlier versions while making the interface much easier and more accessible. Everything is now located in one place—the iClock app preferences—making it simple to configure and use.

minor📝 Changes
- this version now allows using the time and date menu, just the time menu or (new) just the date menu for those that wanted that choice. now when using just the date menu (time menu turned off) one can switch to the prefs or quit from the pref icon on either bigcal or tinycal. it's not possible to turn off both time and date as this would (and did) cause a rift in the temporal continuum. as user tpol emailed us a inter-dimensional temporal fracture was responsible for many of the issues noted in 2020. that issue was addressed on 1/20/21.
- Now time menu and date menu color will not change for mac OS 11.0 onwards. Fixed this issue for mac OS 11.0 onwards. However color will change to black from white for macOS below than 11.0 because on below 11.0 macOS menubar background is white and we can't see white text on white background.
- other small misc changes to make licensing easier.
- thanks to users who submitted suggestions and other feedback.

Reviews
"iClock review: Amazingly versatile, super customizable Mac menu bar clock. Replaces the standard macOS menu bar day and time with a more customizable, full-featured experience."
"iClock for Mac: an extremely powerful replacement for Apple's basic menu bar clock. iClock, one of the oldest Mac apps, has been completely rewritten from the ground up and updated for macOS Mojave 10.14.4. With its modern, productivity-boosting time management tools, iClock is more than a suitable replacement for Apple's spartan clock in macOS."
"iClock zeigt sich als vielseitiger Ersatz für die von Apple seit rund 35 Jahren kaum veränderte Standard-Uhr in der Menüleiste von macOS."
TRANSLATION: "iClock proves to be a versatile replacement for the standard clock that has been barely changed by Apple for about 35 years in the menu bar of macOS."
"If you're a Mac geek like me and need a clock that does everything then Apple won't help you. iClock can. This may be the most customizable menu bar clock with calendar, alarms, chimes and alerts, and even timezones for world clock capability…Get your Mac geek on with iClock's robust settings and options."
"iClock is simply a more useful and powerful menubar clock. Try it and you will quickly learn why this is one of my favourite apps."
"Clock Pro is truly 'the Essential Mac Menubar Clock'. It is described as 'A time hub which replaces the Mac OS X clock with many more useful menus, options and applications that everyone can use in day to day life.' That really is a very significant understatement. It is truly amazing all of the features included in the program, many of which I didn't even know that I needed, but now won't live without! My daily Mac use is now much improved, well worth this small investment in productivity."
"For those with increasing communication with relatives, friends, and business partners located in various time zones, you will like seeing their local times with a simple mouse click. Simply put, this is one of the nicest add-on utilities I've used, and I highly recommend it."
"This product has a number of great uses, many of which would be worth the $20 by themselves. Anyone who uses a Mac throughout the day should check this product out, as they are likely to find several items in this "everything but the kitchen sink" utility that makes it a worthwhile purchase."
"It's worth every penny of the shareware fee."
"iClock is more like a rose than a Swiss Army Knife: every time I admired a feature, there was another underneath."
User Raves
"This is a fantastic program."
"iClock saves time! Once again I've snagged an invaluable tool from Plum Amazing. iClock elegantly offers just the right balance of functionality and features. No digging – no bloat; just a wonderfully simple tool to help manage my clock, my time, my Mac."
"I tried iclock because I was annoyed with not being able to see the date in the bar. When I went to pay for it, I noticed copypaste and decided to try it because I frequently want to do a little fancier copying. I probably won't use the more advanced options, but I want the simple things to work well. Thanks Ed."
"With my line of work, I never know what distant corner of the world my job will take me. iClock's simple, intuitive interface never lets me down. With a quick glance at the pull-down menu, I can see what time it is where I am….where I'm going…and where I've been. With another click, I can check the weather at my next destination. Its so much more than a digital timepiece for the Mac."
"It's hard to imagine that so much functionality could be packed into a 'clock'!"
"Many thanks. Great app!"
"The new iClock is excellent and it is very stable. I also like all those links to various sites. I really love being able to easily glance at the bar and see the day and date plus I find the drop down calendar super useful in that it lists calendar items that are coming up. Excellent!"
"Best time I ever had!!!!"
"I love iClock. It's not only attractively designed, it's really useful, too. Besides all its time features, I was delighted when I saw that it restored the drop down menu for open applications."
"The feature that attracted me to iClock was the location time menu. As you know software sales is world wide because of the Internet. When I need to make a service call overseas I need to know what time it is in that country. I have used other products that require running a program to see the times, or software that clutters the desktop with clocks. iClock is simple, non-obtrusive and FAST. Thank you for a very useful yet simple to use program."
"iClock is AWESOME! You should really try to get Apple to include it with all their machines! I'm glad I found it. Thanks!"
"I couldn't live without iClock now. I love it because it is so simple, but has so many powerful features. I am constantly amazed at what it can do."
"I am a ham radio operator and I just want others to know that iClock 2 offers useful new features for hams. The new 2.0 version supports handy web links along with many other useful features making it a very nice tool for HAM operators. I use iClock for time conversions, a handy quick calendar for looking up date (launches iCal when you want to enter something), Alarms, Stocks and more. An important note is Mark Fleming the author is interested in other links hams might find useful."
"I remember thinking 'Why do I want another clock' before I tried iClock. Now I think 'How did I get by without it'."
