Elsewhen: Time zones, translated »

Following up on my post about Discord timestamps, Zach Knox mentioned the app Elsewhen, a utility for formatting timestamps and sharing times across timezones.

Zach Knox, replying to my post about Discord timestamps:

I would also highly recommend Elsewhen, which has a shortcuts action to do exactly that apps.apple.com/us/app/elsewhen… (though of course learning how those timestamps work is still quite valuable!)

Zach is totally right, I’d forgotten about Elsewhen for Mac, iPad, and iPhone – a handy utility from developer Benjamin Cardy that shows a visual representation of the Discord timestamp formats.

Plus, Elsewhen includes another great feature for actually laying out alternate timezones for specific countries, for making announcement posts like I do with my streams:

Thanks to @atnbueno for using Shortcuts to make timezones for this:

Jan 13, 12:00pm ?? SF
Jan 13, 3:00pm ?? NY
Jan 13, 4:30pm ?? St. John’s
Jan 13, 8:00pm ?? Porto
Jan 13, 9:00pm ?? Barcelona
Jan 14, 1:30am ?? Mumbai
Jan 14, 5:00am ?? Osaka
Jan 14, 9:45am ?? Chatham Is.
