The current UTC time, in every format a program can ask for — each one a single click to copy. No signup, no ads above the fold, and a free JSON API serving the same values.
Any city or code is a URL type it after the domain
City names, IATA airport codes (/jfk, /lhr), timezone abbreviations (/est) and full IANA names (/asia/kolkata) all resolve to the offset, the identifier and the next DST change for that place.
Every format, one click drag a row to reordertap “rows & order” to reorder · your order is remembered

Built for the worldtimeapi.org refugees
worldtimeapi.org has been unreachable for long stretches, stranding ESP32, CircuitPython and Power BI projects that hard-coded it. Our API answers the same questions, keeps the same URL shapes behind compatibility aliases, and publishes its real limits.
