A menu-bar clock that shows the local time of the specific people you work with — teammates, clients, family — each with a name and a face.
There puts a short list of people, not cities, in your menu bar. Add someone by city, country, an abbreviation like PST, or a raw UTC offset, give them a name and a photo (pulled from an X or Telegram handle, or uploaded), and their current local time sits one glance away. Open the panel and you get a small strip showing everyone's hour side by side, colour-shifted for morning, day, and night.
Why it makes the list
Every world-clock app makes you think in time zones. There makes you think in people, which is how scheduling a call actually works — you want to know if it's a reasonable hour for Sara, not what o'clock it is in Lisbon. It's a 5 MB native app, it runs entirely on-device with no account, and it's open source. Roughly 17,000 people use it, including staff at Apple, Shopify, and Zapier.
