MenuClock v0.9 — first public release

First public release. A native macOS menu bar clock with world clocks, calendar events, and optional weather. Built with Swift + SwiftUI, no third-party dependencies, no telemetry.

Highlights

World Clocks

• Search any of 68,000+ cities worldwide (GeoNames cities5000 dataset, bundled offline)
• State / province disambiguation (Meridian, Idaho vs Meridian, Mississippi)
• Local time auto-shown at the top of the dropdown, derived from your system time zone
• Today / Tomorrow / Yesterday day labels per row
• Drag to reorder, custom labels, accent-insensitive search

Calendar Events

• Next 5 upcoming events from any subset of your calendars (iCloud, Google, Exchange, etc.)
• Compact grouped picker in Settings — disclosure groups per source with All / None per group
• Click an event to open Calendar.app at that exact event

Weather (opt-in)

• Current temperature + SF Symbol weather icon next to each clock
• Powered by Open-Meteo — free, no API key, no tracking
• 12 / 24 hour and °C / °F overrides

Menu Bar

• Local time only, or local + secondary clock
• Customizable separator (•, ·, |, —, /, or just spacing)
• Toggle the local time zone label
• Live preview in Settings

General

• Launch at login via SMAppService
• 12 / 24 hour override independent of system locale
• 3-step onboarding window on first launch
• About window with credits and links
• Native dark mode, SF Symbols throughout
• Sandboxed, hardened runtime, ad-hoc signed for local builds

Privacy

Zero network calls in the default configuration. Calendar data is read locally via EventKit and never leaves your machine. If you opt in to Weather, the only request is to api.open-meteo.com sending lat/lng — no account, no key, no tracking.

Install

1. Download `MenuClock.app.zip` from the assets below (the GitHub Action attaches it automatically once the build finishes)
2. Unzip and move `MenuClock.app` to /Applications
3. First launch: macOS will warn that it's unsigned (ad-hoc only) — right-click → Open → confirm. This is one-time.

A real Developer ID-signed and notarized build will land in v1.0.

Requirements

• macOS 13 Ventura or later
• Apple Silicon or Intel
