Add Multiple Clocks to Ubuntu Linux Top Bar

Adding multiple clocks to the Ubuntu top bar lets you track up to three different time zones right next to your local time. This feature displays foreign times directly on your desktop screen so you can check global hours without opening extra apps.

You only need the standard desktop settings to pin these international clocks in place.

How to display multiple times in Ubuntu Linux

Setting up multiple clocks in Ubuntu Linux so you can see different time zones right on your top bar takes just a minute using the built-in Clocks app. Open the Clocks app to add your first city, and your new times will appear instantly when you click the main clock in the top menu bar.

If the app is missing, open your App Center and search for “Clocks.” Alternatively, open your terminal and type the following command to install it 💿:

sudo apt install gnome-clocks (this command installs the Clocks app).

Click the time on the top bar and select the Add world clocks… button at the bottom of the calendar. Press Ctrl+N or click the Add World Clock button, then type the target city name into the search 🔍 box.

Type your city's name into the search box.

Pick the correct city from the list and press Add. When finished, your chosen cities will appear in the calendar fly-out whenever you click the time.

Managing your World Clocks

Managing your world clocks in Ubuntu involves opening the built-in Clocks app to remove or change cities whenever your schedule shifts. You can delete any unwanted time zone with a right-click, or swap out an old city by removing it and adding a new one in its place.

• To delete: Open the Clocks app, right-click on the city you want to remove, and select Delete.
• To edit: Simply delete the old entry and add the new city you need.

That covers the complete setup process.

Adding multiple clocks helps you track different time zones. The GNOME Clocks app keeps schedules organized, no matter where contacts are located globally.
