AboutTime

AboutTime is probably one of the most intuitive names an app of this sort could get. If you haven't guessed it yet, this particular program manages to grab the accurate time from a plethora of internet sources in order to synchronize your machine's time with the said sources. It can also act as a synchronization time-server for other computers on your local network. It might seem basic but in all truthfulness, it's a useful app that will indeed make a difference.

Generally speaking, grabbing the accurate time manually can be a bit bothersome, especially since there really isn't an exact mechanism to fully sync your machine's clock with whatever is online. Once the app is open, just make sure you hit the Set Time button and the rest will be automatically managed by the app. You can create a log file containing all of the commands and changes. Time hosts can be added, checked, and removed as you see fit. One can also keep an eye on time-servers and their availability.

The application allows for a hefty number of settings to be altered. You can set the time at a certain interval. Choose if you want to try all hosts or just some of the available ones. Other commands include closing the app when the time has been set or displaying a reminder in the system tray. Add specific proxy or firewall service ports. Set default values if you mess up any of these settings. It's all up to how much expertise you have when it comes to servers and ports.

AboutTime is a simple application that will otherwise bring harmony to your life. How? It will give you an accurate reading of time and also share this specific value with other machines on the same network. This in turn will contribute to an increase in productivity regardless of whatever team or project one is leading.
