MultiTimeInMenuBar – multiple timezones with country flags on menu bar (macOS) (github.com)

Worked on this a few months ago but have finally gotten around to cleaning it up for open source release and setting up a pipeline to build the .dmg.

I built this for two reasons, (1) I (used to) work with people from many timezones, and (2) macOS used to include flags of the current keyboard set, which I liked, but was removed [1]. I liked seeing a flag on my menu bar so I combined my two wants to make this app. It was also an exercise to build a native macOS app.

It's lightweight (~36 MB of memory usage), free, and open source.

Your "Mom" does not get a flag, but can she get an emoji?

Is there something standard for multizone countries like USA?
