Current time in metric time

Features & Capabilities

Popularized by the Simpson's season 10 episode, "They Saved Lisa's Brain" and implemented by French Revolutionaries from 1793 to 1795, metric time consists of 10 hours per day and 100 minutes per hour. Mid-day is 5:00 and midnight is 10:00, easier than imperial numbers for orienting your day-to-day activities. With the clock's simple and direct display, you can show your friends a different way to tell time, or set up a display on your desk, with your iPhone or iPad.

Metric minutes are a little bit longer than imperial minutes, so be patient when watching the time progress.

Because there are 100 minutes in an hour, the time 4:85 is equivalent to 4.85 (decimal); click on the time to convert between colon or a period in the time display.

Click the paint brush button to change the colors of the interface. Also, switch back and forth between local metric time and Universal metric time with the globe button.

The Metric Clock is well-received by metric-time enthusiasts who appreciate its true metric time display (decidays and millidays) and the concept overall. Reviewers highlight its novelty and fun factor. However, recurring concerns center on missing practical features like a widget and ambiguity around metric calendar support. There’s interest in updates that add calendar integration and other functionality to enhance everyday usefulness.

Calendar support is debated or unclear, with some reviewers wanting a metric calendar while others imply it may already be included.

Recent reviews

Love that this app exists. Wish it had an analog clock display mode.

I installed this clock with the hope it would include a widget. Unfortunately, it does not. I wish it would also explain "Universal Metric Time", because it's certainly not UTC.

Finally, finally…I found a metric clock app that displays the decidays and millidays rather than some .beat time system or other nonsensical numbers. I’m very pleased with this app😊 Green numbers on a black background is my favorite color combination offered by this app. Will gladly continue using.
