Add Multiple Clocks to Ubuntu Linux Top Bar

Ubuntu Linux lets you add multiple clocks to your top bar, showing different time zones directly. This feature helps you quickly see international times without needing to open separate applications, which is useful for working with people around the world.

Ubuntu’s built-in clock tool supports showing up to three extra clocks from any time zone you choose. You can easily set these up to display alongside your local time.

For instance, you might add clocks for Pacific Standard Time (PST) and Central European Time (CET). All these clocks become visible simply by clicking the main clock on your top bar.

How to display multiple times in Ubuntu Linux

Displaying multiple times in Ubuntu Linux on your top bar is simple 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 you do not have the app, 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).

Once installed, click the time on your top bar. Then, click the Add world clocks… button at the bottom of the calendar. To add a new city, click the Add World Clock button or press Ctrl+N.

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 is simple; you can add, remove, or change time zones as needed. 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’s everything you need to know!

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