What it does

Seven things, done without friction.

A fast, focused converter that lives where you need it and gets out of the way when you don't.

  1. Live, two-way conversion

    Paste a timestamp to see the date, or pick a date to get the timestamp. Everything updates as you type.

    1790561638 ⇄ Sep 27, 9:13 PM
  2. Three formats at a glance

    Local time with its time zone, UTC and ISO 8601, side by side. No offset math at 2 a.m.

    09:13 PM CDT · 02:13 AM UTC
  3. Seconds or milliseconds, detected

    Paste a 10- or 13-digit value and Epocher picks the right unit. Flip the s and ms toggle if you want to choose.

    1790561638357 → ms
  4. Calendar and time picker

    Tap a day and dial in hours, minutes and seconds. Handy for backdating, scheduling and building test data.

  5. One-click copy

    Copy any format with a single click. A checkmark tells you it's on your clipboard.

  6. History of every copy and paste

    Everything you copied or pasted stays one click away, tagged by format.

    UNIX · ISO · LOCAL · UTC
  7. Menu bar native

    Summoned with a keystroke and gone when you click away. No window clutter and no Dock icon.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Get in touch.

What is epoch time?

Epoch time, or Unix time, counts the seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970. Logs, databases and APIs love it because it is compact and has no time zone. Humans can't read it, which is why Epocher exists.

Does it handle milliseconds?

Yes. Paste a 10-digit value and Epocher reads it as seconds; paste 13 digits and it switches to milliseconds on its own. The s and ms toggle lets you pick the unit yourself.

Which time zones does it show?

Every timestamp is shown in your Mac's local time zone, in UTC and as an ISO 8601 string, side by side.

Is Epocher free?

Yes. Epocher is free on the Mac App Store and needs macOS 15 or later.

Does it collect any data?

No. There are no accounts and no telemetry, and the App Store privacy label states that the developer does not collect any data from the app. Read the privacy policy.

What does the history view keep?

Every value you copy or paste in Epocher, tagged by format (UNIX, UNIX-MS, ISO, LOCAL or UTC), with how long ago it happened. Clear it any time.

Stop pasting timestamps into search engines.
