I only use a Mac for work through a company laptop but one thing I recently discovered is the world clock widget which is accessed through your clock.

You can show up to 4 different times besides your local time.

This is really handy to see the time in UTC and other timezones where some of your team mates might exist. This saves having to Google for timezone converters.

I find Clocker excellent for this, unified time scroller as well https://apps.apple.com/au/app/clocker/id1056643111?mt=12 (free)

You can actually create multiple widgets of the same type. So as many timezones or cities you want to track you can just keep adding timezone widgets.

Good to know. In my case I happened to need exactly 4 so it worked out with the default set up.

I like the easy access of it, just click your clock and boom in 1 second you have instant access to these.

I even ordered mine based on relative closeness to my time. For example:

My local time is EST.

The extra 4 clock widget has UTC, Poland, India and Australia which are all +X hours ahead of EST in that order.

alternatively one can use an alfred plugin like this one: https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/TimeZones-Alfred. That's what I'm using since a few years

While we're sharing time zone tools, World Time Buddy is beautiful UX and richly functional:
