Add Multiple Clocks to Ubuntu Linux Top Bar

Showing multiple time zones on your Ubuntu Linux top bar puts international clocks right next to your standard local time. Ubuntu lets you add up to three extra clocks from any country so you can track global hours at a glance without opening separate apps.

This setup works wonders if you collaborate with remote teams or family members overseas. You only need the standard desktop settings to pin these foreign times right where you can see them all day long.

How to display multiple times in Ubuntu Linux

Displaying multiple times in Ubuntu Linux on your top bar works well with the built-in Clocks app. This is helpful if you need to track different time zones, perhaps for work or family living far away. Open the Clocks app, click the time on your top bar, and then click ‘Add’ to pick a new city.

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

Adjusting world clocks takes only a few seconds once the initial setup is complete. To delete a clock, open the Clocks app, right-click the city you want to remove, and select 'Delete'. To edit a time zone: Delete the old entry and then add the new city you need.

• 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.
